St. Nick's trick

What do you do when you have a one-story building on a corner in a mixed-use district and want to cash in by building higher than what's around it?

Add a community facility, labeled "AMBULATORY DIAGNOSTIC"!

This is 3-11 St. Nicholas Avenue in Ridgewood. The owners "PROPOSE TO CONVERT EXISTING NON CONFORMING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USE IN COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO CONFORMING USE (DRUG STORE)".

Next, "VERTICAL EXTENSION TO THE EXISTING ONE STORY BUILDING TO 5 STORY MIX-USED BUILDING. NEW C OF O IS NEEDED."
