(c)        on the portion of any zoning lot designated as a special height location in Appendix 2.2, a height of not less than the applicable amount set forth in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section and not more than the maximum height indicated in Appendix 2.2 or in paragraph (d)(1) of Section 84-135 (Limited height of buildings);

Where Appendix 3.1 shows a requirement for a building to be built to a mandatory front building wall line along frontage on River Terrace, any such building may have a mandatory front building wall coincident with and constructed along a line set back one and one-half feet from the street line along River Terrace to accommodate landscaping treatment as required by the Battery Park City Authority;

For the next 20 feet along the street line, the mandatory front building wall requirements are optional except that, for any building north of Vesey Street and Vesey Place, the mandatory front building wall requirements are optional for the next 25 feet. The height limit of 85 feet shall apply along street lines or to buildings not subject to the mandatory front building wall requirements.
