(Director Determination) of Chapter 1A of this Code. (a) Application. The applicant shall file an application in the public office of the Department of City Planning upon a form prescribed for that purpose and pay a filing fee equivalent to that established for a “Miscellaneous Plan Approval”.

(Director Determination) of Chapter 1A of this Code shall exceed: (1) a ten percent reduction in the total required usable open space, provided that any reduction is to the common open space portion only; or (2) a ten percent increase in the qualifying area of recreation rooms up to a maximum of 35 percent of the total required usable open space; or (3) a ten percent reduction in the required area for planting of ground cover, shrubs and trees in common open space, but that reduction shall not decrease the total required usable open space.
