The Zoning Resolution of the City of New York
Residential - Commercial - Manufacturing Extensive parking and loading requirements also adopted

Use Groups
Use Groups 1 & 2: Residential uses
Use Groups 3 & 4: Community facility uses
Use Groups 5-16: Retail/Commercial uses
Use Groups 17-18: Manufacturing uses
Use groups are based on the similarity & compatibility of their functions

R7 Example: 4 stories: 2.38 FAR: 40% open space 6 stories: 2.88 FAR; 52% open space 9 stories: 3.27 FAR; 64% open space 11 stories: 3.38 FAR; 70% open space 14 stories: 3.44 FAR; 76% open space 21 stories: 3.30 FAR; 84% open space
Height Factor Zoning: balancing tall buildings and open space
Height Factor Building:
A residential development whose bulk is determined by a range of height factor, floor area ratios and open space ratios, and is set within the sky exposure plane.

Issues: The combination of height factor zoning, incentive zoning (bonuses) and zoning lot mergers led to out-of-context buildings
