R8X Zoning Code - New York City
What is an R8X Zoning District?
R8X districts are governed by Quality Housing bulk regulations. The higher maximum building height permitted in R8X districts typically produces 14- to 16-story apartment buildings, taller than permitted in R8A districts.
The floor area ratio in R8X districts is 6.02. Above a base height of 60 to 85 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 its maximum height of 150 feet. As in R8A districts, the street wall on a wide street must extend along the entire width of the zoning lot and at least 70% of the street wall must be within eight feet of the street line.
Off-street parking is not allowed in front of a building. Parking is required for 40% of dwelling units, and it can be waived if 15 or fewer spaces are required or if the lot is 10,000 square feet or less.
