Description
The September 2005 issue of CityLand highlights major land use and zoning actions across New York City. Key developments include the City Council’s approval of Enrique Norten’s glass tower at One York Street in Tribeca and a text amendment allowing heliostats and wind turbines atop buildings in Battery Park City. The Council also approved a housing project for the mentally ill in East New York. The Planning Commission approved a major mixed-use development at 270 Greenwich Street and a controversial parking garage in Chelsea. BSA decisions include a denied appeal for a Van Cortlandt Village development, a variance for Robert DeNiro’s Tribeca hotel, and approvals for a circus school, art school expansion, and additional residential floors in Chelsea. Landmark actions include denial of legalization for an Upper East Side addition, relocation of a phone tower at Seaview Hospital, and approval of rear additions to Chelsea rowhouses. Legal updates feature a court ruling against a builder for failing to deliver certificates of occupancy after seven years. Pipeline charts track ULURP certifications, BSA applications, and landmark hearings.
