BUILDING ZONE 'RESOLUTION 237 



(d) In a two times district no building shall be erected to a height in 

 excess of twice the width oi the street, but for each one foot that the buikding 

 or a portion of it sets back from the street line four feet shall be added to 

 the height limit of such building or such portion thereof. 



(e) In a two and one-half times district no building shall be erected to 

 a height in excess of two and one-half times the width of the street, but for 

 each one foot that the building or a portion of its sets back from the street 

 line five feet shall be added to the height limit of such building or such 

 portion thereof. 



§ 9. Height District Exceptions, (a) On streets less than 50 feet in 

 width the same height regulations shall be applied as on streets 50 feet in 

 width and, except for the purposes of paragraph d of this section, on streets 

 more than 100 feet in width the same height regulations shall be applied as 

 on streets 100 feet in width. 



(b) Along a narrower street near its intersection with a wider street, 

 any building or any part of any building fronting on the narrower street 

 within 100 feet, measured at right angles to the side of the wider street, 

 shall be governed by the height regulations provided for the wider street. 

 A corner building on such intersecting streets shall be governed by the 

 height regulations provided for the wider street for 150 feet from the side 

 of such wider street, measured along such narrower street. 



(c) Above the height limit at any level for any part of a building a 

 dormer, elevator bulkhead or other structure may be erected, provided its 

 frontage length on any given street be not greater than 60 per cent of the 

 length of such street frontage of such part of the building. Such frontage 

 length of such structure at any given level shall be decreased by an amount 

 equal to one per cent, of such street frontage of such pan of the building 

 for every foot such level is above such height limit. If there are more than 

 one such structures, their aggregate frontage shall not exceed the frontage 

 length above permitted at any given level. 



(d) If the area of the building is reduced so that above a given level 

 it covers in the aggregate not more than 25 per cent of the area of the lot, 

 the building above such level shall be excepted from the foregoing pro- 

 visions of this article. Such portion of the building may be erected to any 

 height, provided that the distance which it sets backs from the street line 

 on each street on which it faces, plus half of the width of the street, equals 

 at least 75 feet. But for each one per cent of the width of the lot on the 

 street line that such street wall is less in length than such width of the 

 lot, such wall may be erected four inches nearer to the street line. 



(e) When at the time plans are filed for the erection of a building 

 there are buildings in excess of the height limits herein provided within 

 50 feet of either end of the street frontage of the proposed building or 

 directly opposite such building across the street, the height to which the 

 street wall of the proposed building may rise shall be increased by an amount 

 not greater than the average excess height of the walls on the street line 

 within 50 feet of either end of the street frontage of the proposed building 

 and at right angles to the street frontage of the proposed building on the 

 opposite side of the street. The average amount of such excess height shall 

 be computed by adding together the excess heights above the prescribed 

 height limit for the street frontage in question of all of the walls on the 

 street line of the buildings and parts of buildings within the above defined 

 frontage and dividing the sum by the total number of buildings and vacant 

 plots within such frontage.
