  1. Subdistricts B, C, D and E

    In Subdistricts B, C, D and E, the basic maximum floor area ratio is determined by the subdistrict and, where applicable, subarea, as specified in the table in this Section. The basic maximum floor area ratios for non-residential buildings are set forth in Row A, and the basic maximum floor area ratios for buildings containing residences are set forth in Row B. Such basic maximum floor area ratios may be increased to the amount specified in Row C only pursuant to Section 93-31 (District Improvement Fund Bonus) or as otherwise specified in Sections 93-221 through 93-224.

    For a zoning lot with more than one building, the basic maximum floor area ratios set forth in Row A shall apply, provided that any building that is developed or enlarged after January 19, 2005, is wholly non-residential. If a building containing residences is developed or enlarged on such a zoning lot after January 19, 2005, the basic maximum floor area ratios set forth in Row B shall apply.

    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the basic maximum permitted floor area ratio may be increased on a receiving lots in accordance with Section 75-42 (Transfer of Development Rights from Landmarks), provided that the maximum floor area transferred from the landmark lot does not exceed the basic maximum permitted floor area ratio less the total floor area of all buildings on the landmark lot.
