In C5-3, C6-4 or C6-6 Districts, when a front lot line of a zoning lot adjoins a portion of a street whose average width is 75 feet or more and whose minimum width is 65 feet, such portion of a street may be considered a wide street ; or when a front lot line adjoins a portion of a street 70 feet or more in width, which is between two portions of a street 75 feet or more in width, and which portion is less than 700 feet in length, such portion may be considered a wide street , and in that case, for the purposes of the height and setback regulations and the measurement of any publicly accessible open area or arcade , the street line shall be considered to be a continuous line connecting the respective street lines of the nearest portions of the street which are 75 feet or more in width. In Community District 7 in the Borough of Manhattan, the roadways of Broadway between West 94th and West 97th Streets which are separated by mapped public park shall each be considered a wide street .
