Description

The December 2007 issue of CityLand covers major land use and development initiatives across New York City. It features contentious hearings on the redevelopment of Willets Point, the approval of a 63-story tower at 50 West Street using Battery Tunnel air rights, and the Planning Commission’s modifications to Columbia University’s Manhattanville expansion and Community Board 9’s 197-a plan. The issue also highlights new zoning standards for parking lots, a proposed crackdown on illegal hotel conversions, and a green roof tax incentive resolution. Landmark actions include the designation of the 19th-century P.S. 90 school in Brooklyn and the removal of the Mariners’ Family Asylum from the designation calendar. The Port Authority announces a $500 million air rights deal to fund improvements to the 42nd Street Bus Terminal. The issue concludes with a court decision allowing renovations to Washington Square Park and a profile of urban planner Marilyn J. Taylor.
