Research notes
Codifies an 8% IZ set-aside for both rental residential and habitable penthouse floor area within the new NYE zone, diverging from the citywide IZ default (8% steel/concrete, 10% wood/light-frame). For an NYE parcel, iz.set_aside_pct is fixed at 8% across the matter-of-right envelope and penthouse, independent of construction type.
