C6 Zoning Code - New York City


What is a C6 Zoning District?

C6 districts permit a wide range of high-bulk commercial uses requiring a central location.C6-1 through C6-3 districts allow a commercial floor area ratio of 6.0 and are generally mapped outside of the central business cores.

C6-4 through C6-9 districts, mapped mostly in major business districts permit a maximum FAR of 10.0 or 15.0, exclusive of an applicable bonus. In these districts, a tower occupied by commercial, residential and/or community facility uses may penetrate the sky exposure plane.

C6 districts are widely mapped within special districts. C6 districts with a G or M suffix (C6-1G, C6-2G, C6-2M and C6-4M) have special regulations governing conversion of non-residential space to residential use. Some, such as C6-4.5, C6-5.5, C6-6.5 and C6-7T districts are mapped only within the Special Midtown District, and have unique floor area ratios and bonus rules.

Because C6 districts are well served by mass transit, off-street parking is generally not required, except within the C6-3D district.
