R10A Zoning Code - New York City
What is an R10A Zoning District?
The Quality Housing regulations that are mandatory in R10A districts typically produce large apartment buildings set on wide streets. Certain commercial districts also allow residential development at densities equivalent to R10A.
Typical buildings are 22-story apartment buildings with high lot coverage and street walls set at the street line. Towers are not permitted in R10A districts. The floor area ratio is 10.0, which can be increased to 12.0 if lower income housing (Inclusionary Housing) is provided. The maximum base height before setback, which is 150 feet within 100 feet of a wide street and 125 feet of a narrow street, is designed to match the height of many older buildings. Above the base height, the required minimum setback is 10 feet on a wide street and 15 feet on a narrow street. The maximum height of a building is 210 feet within 100 feet of a wide street and 185 feet beyond 100 feet of a wide street.
Parking is not generally required within the Manhattan Core. Elsewhere, it is required for 40% of the dwelling units.
