105-433 Modification of Grading Controls

NYC Zoning Resolution > X Special Purpose Districts > 5 - Special Natural Area District (NA-1), (NA-2), (NA-3), (NA-4) > 105-40 Special Review Provisions > 105-43 Authorizations to Modify Bulk, Parking, Grading and Private Roads Regulations > 105-433 Modification of Grading Controls
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
For any development, enlargement or site alteration on a Tier II site, the City Planning Commission may authorize variations in the grading controls set forth in Section 105-34.
In order to grant such authorization, the Commission shall find that:
(a)        the development, enlargement or site alteration is not feasible without such modifications, or that the modifications will permit a development, enlargement or site alteration that satisfies the purposes of this Chapter;
(b)        such modification is the least modification required to achieve the purpose for which it is granted;
(c)        the modification has minimal impact on the existing natural topography and vegetation and blends harmoniously with it;
(d)        the modification will not disturb the drainage pattern and soil conditions of the area;
(e)        the modification does not impair the essential character of the surrounding area; and
(f)        the benefits to the surrounding area from the modification outweigh any disadvantages that may be incurred thereby in the area.
