Description
The July 2005 issue of CityLand highlights major land use and zoning developments across New York City. Key coverage includes the City Council’s approval of Lincoln Center’s redesign, featuring new public spaces, signage, and expanded cultural facilities. The Council also approved the West Chelsea/High Line rezoning, enabling the transformation of the elevated rail line into a public park. Other actions include the General Motors Plaza renovation, Rockefeller Center signage amendments, and the downzoning of Bensonhurst and Staten Island neighborhoods. The issue reports on the approval of a new bridge in the Bronx, a DUMBO Business Improvement District, and multiple affordable housing projects. Landmark actions include the designation of the Windermere Apartments, the Robert Dickey House, the Jamaica Savings Bank, and the Smith, Gray & Co. Building. Legal updates feature the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the approval of an IKEA superstore in Red Hook. Pipeline charts track ULURP certifications, BSA applications, and landmark hearings.
