• Requirement that fifteen percent of the building frontage along the  south side of Surf Avenue, both sides of Stillwell Avenue, and the west side of West 10th Street in the Coney East subdistrict be occupied by amusement uses within Use Group A(1). (Section 131-131(c)(d))
  
  
• Allowance of a transfer of floor area between the landmarked Child’s building and the proposed development across West 21st Street in the Coney West subdistrict. (Section 131-321(c))
  
  
• Elimination of the ‘buffer zone’ in the Coney North subdistrict. The area was previously limited in height to 23 feet and now would be allowed to rise to the maximum base height of 65 feet and the transition height of 85 feet.
  
  
• The text has been modified to address issues related to proposed changes in street grades:
  
  
  1. To create incentives for internal ramps, stairs and ADA accessible lifts that would provide access to the lowest story of a building above the base floodplain elevation from the public sidewalk, up to 300 square feet of area utilized for this purpose would be exempted from the definition of floor area. (Section 131-324)
     
     
  2. To minimize the visual impact of ramps, stairs and ADA accessible lifts provided outside of the building, a streetwall recess would only be permitted for access to building entrances of up to 20 feet in width and 10 feet in depth. (Sections 131-421(a)(2), 423(a), 431(a), 441(a), 443(a))
     
     
  3. Outside ramps breaking the streetwall requirement shall be permitted only by authorization of the City Planning Commission. (Section 131-49)
     
     

• The maximum 60-foot frontage per establishment regulation - for Surf Avenue in the Coney East subdistrict and for all streets in the Coney North and Coney West subdistricts - has been modified to a minimum of four establishments per block. (Sections 131-131(c)(1)(2)(3), 132(a)(2))

The modifications also include refinements of the zoning text related to the definition of hotels (Section 131-11) (12-10).
