At 12 FAR, a 10,000 square foot lot in C6-11 carries roughly 120,000 square feet of zoning floor area.
That is the ceiling, not the answer. The height envelope, required yards, lot shape, street width, overlays and any special district all cut into it. Running the real lot is the only way to know which constraint binds first.
Every area of the city zoned C6-11, from NYC Planning’s published zoning district layer.
Use groups permitted in C6 districts:
Underbuilt here means a lot of at least 2,500 square feet, built to less than half its residential floor area, in private hands, with at least 20,000 square feet of unused capacity. From PLUTO 26v2. How we counted.
C6-11 has a commercial far of 12, set by ZR 33-122. On a 10,000 square foot lot that is about 120,000 square feet of zoning floor area before any bonus, and before the height envelope and yard requirements are applied.
C6-11 is not governed by a flat height cap in the quality housing tables; height is controlled by the sky exposure plane and the bulk rules shown above.
