(a) In S Districts, additional height up to 10 percent of the heights shown on Maps 1H, 2H and 7H of the Zoning Map may be allowed as an extension of the upper tower, provided that the volume of the upper tower as extended is reduced by the percentage shown in Chart C of Section 271 of this Code.
(b) This additional height may be allowed pursuant to the provisions of Section 309 only to the extent it is determined that the upper tower volume is distributed in a way that will add significantly to the sense of slenderness of the building and to the visual interest to the termination of the building, and that the added height will improve the appearance of the sky-line when viewed from a distance, will not adversely affect light and air to adjacent properties, and will not add significant shadows to public open spaces.
