C4 Zoning Code - New York City
What is a C4 Zoning District?
C4 districts are mapped in regional commercial centers that are located outside of the central business districts. In these areas, specialty and department stores, theaters and other commercial and office uses serve a larger area and generate more traffic than neighborhood shopping areas. Use Groups 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12, which include most retail establishments, are permitted in C4 districts. Uses that would interrupt the desired continuous retail frontage are not allowed.
C4 districts with an A, D or X suffix are contextual districts in which the commercial and residential bulk and density regulations may differ from corresponding non-contextual districts. Some districts have the same commercial and residential floor area ratios but may differ in parking requirements. Floor area may be increased with a public plaza or Inclusionary Housing in districts with an FAR of 10.0.
C4-1 districts are mapped in outlying areas that require large amounts of parking. C4-2 through C4-5 districts are mapped in more densely built areas. C4-6 and C4-7 districts are mapped in densely built areas in Manhattan.
