Description
The August 2005 issue of CityLand highlights significant land use and zoning actions across New York City. Key developments include the City Council’s approval of rezoning in East Flushing, Pelham Gardens, Cambria Heights, and Staten Island neighborhoods to curb overdevelopment and preserve community character. The Council also approved a new primary/intermediate school in Canarsie. Landmark actions include the designation of the Plaza Hotel’s interiors, the re-calendaring of Seaman Cottage, and hearings on the Drake-DeHart House and the Austin, Nichols & Co. Warehouse. BSA decisions feature approvals for residential conversions in College Point, Bay Ridge, and Astoria, and withdrawals of controversial applications in Maspeth and the East Village. Legal updates include court rulings upholding the condemnation for the Third Water Tunnel and rejecting challenges to the closure of the West 72nd Street ramp. Pipeline charts track ULURP certifications, BSA applications, and landmark hearings.
