R6A Zoning Code - New York City
What is an R6A Zoning District?
The Quality Housing bulk regulations, which are mandatory in R6A districts, typically produce high lot-coverage six- or seven-story apartment buildings set on or near the street line and are designed to be compatible with existing buildings found in older neighborhoods.
The floor area ratio in R6A districts is 3.0. Above a maximum base height of 60 feet, the building must set back to a depth of 10 feet on a wide street and 15 feet on a narrow street before rising to a maximum height of 70 feet. To preserve the traditional streetscape, the street wall of a new building can be no closer to the street line than any building within 150 feet on the same block, up to a depth of 15 feet. The area between a buildings' street wall and the street line must be landscaped. Off-street parking, which is not allowed in front of a building, is required for 50% of a building's dwelling units, or waived if five or fewer spaces are required.
