West 116th
Street between Frederick Douglass Boulevard
and Manhattan Avenue would be rezoned to allow
neighborhood commercial uses. |
C1-4 Commercial
Overlay
A new C1-4 commercial overlay is proposed to be
mapped on both sides of the West 116th Street mid-block
between Manhattan and Morningside avenues within
the proposed R7A district. The proposed C1-4 commercial
overlay would bring existing ground floor commercial
uses into conformance with zoning and would foster
new ground floor commercial uses to serve the neighborhood.
The Department estimates that the proposed commercial
overlays could result in a net gain of 13,447 square
feet of ground floor commercial space on West 116th
Street.
Ground floor retail uses would be allowed up
to 1.0 FAR in mixed residential/commercial buildings.
Buildings without residential uses would be allowed
2.0 FAR of commercial uses. New developments would
be subject to the density and bulk requirements
of the proposed underlying R7A district.
