R10X Zoning Code - New York City
What is an R10X Zoning District?
R10X districts (and C6-4X districts which have an R10X residential district equivalent) permit a tower above a contextual base. The Quality Housing Program is mandatory.
The floor area ratio of 10.0 may be increased to 12.0 if affordable housing is provided pursuant to the Inclusionary Housing Program, or if a publicly accessible plaza is provided along a narrow street. Plazas are permitted only in buildings with a commercial or community facility base. The building base must be between 60 and 85 feet high and extend along the entire frontage of a wide street. A tower is permitted above 85 feet provided it is set back at least 10 feet from a wide street and at least 15 feet from a narrow street. To prevent excessively tall and narrow towers, a tower must have a minimum lot coverage of 33%. No parking is required.
