R3X Zoning Code - New York City
What is an R3X Zoning District?
R3X districts, mapped extensively in low-density neighborhoods, permit only one- and two-family detached homes on lots that must be at least 35 feet wide. The 0.5 Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in R3X districts may be increased up to 20% by an attic allowance for the inclusion of a space beneath a pitched roof. The perimeter wall may rise to 21 feet before sloping or being set back to a maximum building height of 35 feet.
The required amount of open space on a lot is governed by yard requirements. Two side yards that total at least 10 feet are required and there must be a minimum distance of eight feet between houses on adjacent lots. The front yard of a new home must be at least 10 feet deep and, to promote a unified streetscape, it must be at least as deep as an adjacent front yard, up to a depth of 20 feet. One off-street parking space is required for each dwelling unit. A garage is permitted within the building provided the driveway is at least 18 feet deep.
