 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "REZO-NY-

 3 § 2. Subdivision 24 of section 20 of the general city law, as amended
 4 by chapter 742 of the laws of 1979, is amended to read as follows:
 5 24. [To] (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subdivision,
 6 to regulate and limit the height, bulk and location of buildings here-
 7 after erected, to regulate and determine the area of yards, courts and
 8 other open spaces, and to regulate the density of population in any
 9 given area, and for said purposes to divide the city into districts.
 10 Such regulations shall be uniform for each class of buildings throughout
 11 any district, but the regulations in one or more districts may differ
 12 from those in other districts. Such regulations shall be designed to
 13 secure safety from fire, flood and other dangers and to promote the
 14 public health and welfare, including, so far as conditions may permit,
 15 provision for adequate light, air, convenience of access, and the accom-
 16 modation of solar energy systems and equipment and access to sunlight

 19 the use to which it may be put, to the end that such regulations may
 20 promote public health, safety and welfare and the most desirable use for
 21 which the land of each district may be adapted and may tend to conserve
 22 the value of buildings and enhance the value of land throughout the
 23 city.
 24 (b) Except as otherwise and expressly authorized by this subdivision,
 25 no city shall enact, amend or otherwise modify such regulations if such
