Massing and elevation
The top scenario's massing, drawn from the engine's per-floor plates: an axonometric of the volume and a side elevation with story heights and use mix. Where the ground floor reads wider than the floors above, that is the computed setback envelope, not a stylization. The full report adds cross-sections at the critical heights and the sky-exposure plane.
Site context
Midtown commercial high-rise
Synthesized floor plans
Per-floor plans drawn by the engine from the buildable envelope: cores sized to code, corridors, apartments with rooms and fixtures, and the roof with its bulkheads. Diagrammatic, for feasibility; not for construction. The PDF carries every floor of every scenario with a unit schedule under each plan.

FAR, envelope and program
The engine's interpretation of the lot's zoning rules, applied to produce the buildable envelope, height, and per-floor program.

The envelope, rule by rule.
Every constraint the engine applied to C5-3, with the Zoning Resolution section that imposed it. The full report carries the complete citation table and a rule browser that explains each number from its inputs.

Form: Standard Housing. District permits both forms. The standard height and setback regulations of ZR 23-432 are recommended: they apply as of right with no election and typically yield a fuller envelope than the optional sky exposure plane building of ZR 23-73 on lots <100 ft deep. The sky exposure plane building is shown as the comparative option.
What the Code requires for this building.
Chapter 5 and its neighbours, applied to the Universal Affordability Preference (UAP) Scenario scenario: construction type, egress, elevators, sprinklers, accessibility. This is the part an architect checks first.
