Description
The November 2008 issue of CityLand reports on major land use and preservation developments in New York City. The City Council modified the Dutch Kills rezoning to increase FAR and address hotel development concerns, approved the creation of the Special St. George District in Staten Island, and passed legislation requiring waterfront planning updates every ten years. The Council also approved the Hospital for Special Surgery’s expansion over the FDR Drive and extended the West Chelsea Historic District. The City Planning Commission approved modified plans for Willets Point and Hunter’s Point South, and reduced building heights and densities in the 125th Street rezoning. Landmark decisions included approval of the controversial demolition of the O’Toole Building and a proposed redevelopment of Pier 17 in the South Street Seaport. The issue also features a profile of Alessandro Olivieri, General Counsel for NYC Parks, and covers administrative and court decisions on variances, trade fixtures, and conflicts of interest.
