(a)        Section 62-811 (Waterfront public access and visual corridors) shall not apply to Parcel 5, as shown on Map 4 (Waterfront Access Plan: Parcel Designation) in the Appendix to this Chapter. In lieu thereof, the following regulations shall apply:

Required Certification

No excavation or building permit shall be issued for any development on Parcel 5 until the Chairperson of the City Planning Commission has certified to the Department of Buildings, that:

(1)        a site plan has been submitted showing compliance with the provisions of Sections 62-50 (GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR VISUAL CORRIDORS AND WATERFRONT PUBLIC ACCESS AREAS) and 62-60 (DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR WATERFRONT PUBLIC ACCESS AREAS) as modified by Section 142-60 (INWOOD WATERFRONT ACCESS PLAN);

(2)        the Chairperson has certified that an easement, the requirements for which shall be determined in consultation with the Department of Transportation, has been provided to enlarge the adjoining mapped streets, an instrument creating such easement has been recorded in the Office of the City Register, and a certified copy of such easement has been submitted to the Department of City Planning; and

(3)        an acceptable restrictive declaration is executed and filed pursuant to Section 62-74 (Requirements for Recordation).

(b)        Buildout of Adjoining Streets

No certificate of occupancy for any development on Parcel 5 shall be issued until the Department of Buildings has been furnished with a certification by the Department of Transportation that adjoining mapped streets have been built out to Department of Transportation standards.

Within 45 days of receipt of a complete application, the Chairperson shall either certify that the proposed development complies with the requirements of this Section or disapprove such application, citing the nature of any failure to comply. Failure to certify or disapprove such application within the 45 day period will release the Department of Buildings or the Department of Small Business Services from any obligation to withhold the excavation or building permit and authorize such agency to determine compliance with the provisions of this Section.
