Special Permit for Cogeneration Power Plant
The Board of Standards and Appeals may permit a combined heat and power cogeneration plant not to exceed 100,000 square feet in #floor area#, provided that:
(a) the power plant is designed to maximize both electric and thermal cogeneration system efficiency to the greatest extent feasible;
(b) a detailed energy analysis is submitted to the Board demonstrating that the system as designed shall operate with maximum efficiency and perform more effectively than a
traditional, power-purchased-from-grid system; and
(c) the power plant is designed primarily to serve the #Special Willets Point District#.
In addition, the Board shall refer such application to the Department of Environmental Protection for a report to ensure that the power plant is designed to maximize cogeneration efficiency to the greatest extent feasible and that the system as designed shall operate with maximum efficiency and perform more effectively than a traditional, power-purchased-from-grid system.
The Board may prescribe appropriate conditions or safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the surrounding area including safety devices, emissions limits, and the concealment of such #use# with #building# enclosures, landscaping, buffer zones or other methods.

Special Permit for Wastewater Treatment Plant
The Board of Standards and Appeals may permit an enclosed membrane bio-reactor wastewater treatment plant not to exceed 100,000 square feet in #floor area# on a site not to exceed 40,000 square feet in area, provided that the following findings are made:
(a) that in all cases the proposed plant promotes and protects the public health, safety and general welfare;
(b) the proposed plant shall be adequate for anticipated #development# in the area to be served;
(c) the proposed plant is designed primarily to serve the #Special Willets Point District#;
(d) the site for such #use# is so located as to minimize the adverse effects on the integrity of existing and future development, and to minimize the interruption of the continuity of retail frontage;
(e) the architectural and landscaping treatment of such #use# shall blend harmoniously with the rest of the area; and
(f) that such #use# shall conform to the performance standards applicable to M1 Districts.
In addition, the Board shall refer such application to the Department of Health and the Department of Environmental Protection for a report to ensure that the site-specific design of the enclosed membrane bio-reactor waste water treatment plant meets all City and State health and effluent standards.
The Board may prescribe appropriate conditions or safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the surrounding area including requirements for soundproofing, safety devices, and the concealment of such #use# with #building# enclosures,
