In the districts indicated, the provisions of this Section shall apply to Quality Housing buildings on zoning lots meeting the criteria set forth in paragraph (a) of Section 23-664 (Modified height and setback regulations for certain Inclusionary Housing buildings or affordable independent residences for seniors).

For all such Quality Housing buildings, the maximum base and building heights established in Sections 35-652 and 23-662 (Maximum height of buildings and setback regulations) shall be modified in accordance with the table in paragraph (b) of Section 23-664 for the Residence District within which such Commercial Districts are mapped, or the applicable residential equivalent set forth in the tables in Section 35-23 (Residential Bulk Regulations in Other C1 or C2 Districts or in C3, C4, C5 or C6 Districts). Separate maximum building heights are set forth within such table for Quality Housing buildings with qualifying ground floors and for those with non-qualifying ground floors. However:

(a)        for C4-4L Districts, the maximum building height shall be increased to 115 feet for buildings with qualifying ground floors, or 11 stories, whichever is lower, for buildings with non-qualifying ground floors. For buildings with non-qualifying ground floors, the maximum height shall be reduced to 110 feet; and

(b)        for such Quality Housing buildings in C1 or C2 Districts mapped within R6 through R8 Districts without a letter suffix or within an R9-1 District, or in other Commercial Districts with a residential equivalent of an R6 though R8 District without a suffix, the street wall location and height and setback provisions of Sections 35-651 and 35-652 need not apply to buildings on zoning lots that meet the criteria set forth in:

(1)        paragraph (a)(3) of Section 23-664; or

(2)        paragraph (a)(4) of Section 23-664 and such zoning lots are located within 150 feet of the types of transportation infrastructure listed in paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(iv) of Section 23-664. Such 150-foot measurement shall be measured perpendicular to the edge of such infrastructure.

In lieu thereof, the alternative height and setback regulations set forth in paragraph (c) of Section 23-664 shall apply.
