Description
The November 2005 issue of CityLand covers a wide range of land use and preservation developments across New York City. The City Council rejected the landmark designation of the Jamaica Savings Bank in Queens, while approving the Far West Village rezoning and the landmarking of the Plaza Hotel’s interior rooms. A proposed rezoning in Bedford-Stuyvesant was denied due to concerns over job loss. Staten Island saw the elimination of commercial overlays in 21 areas. The Planning Commission approved the transfer of Admiral’s Row to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and began concurrent review of Columbia University’s expansion and Community Board 9’s 197-a plan for Manhattanville. BSA decisions included the denial of a dormitory permit for P.S. 64, approval of grandfathered Bensonhurst developments, and variances for projects in SoHo, Mill Basin, and Jamaica. Landmark hearings were held for the Far West Village and Weehawken Street Historic Districts. Legal updates include a court order requiring a landlord to clear a vacate order for a rent-stabilized tenant. Pipeline charts track ULURP certifications, BSA applications, and landmark actions.
