Description
The December 2008 issue of CityLand covers significant land use and legal developments in New York City. Highlights include the City Council’s approval of the East Village/Lower East Side rezoning and the controversial Willets Point Redevelopment Plan, both with concessions on affordable housing and community engagement. The issue also reports on the approval of the Hunter’s Point South waterfront development and the Via Verde affordable housing project in Melrose, Bronx. Landmark coverage includes the designation of NYU’s Silver Towers and the Prospect Heights Historic District, as well as criticism of the South Street Seaport redevelopment proposal. Legal decisions include the upholding of P.S. 64’s landmark designation, a ruling on appraisal methodology in an eminent domain case, and a court order requiring procedural changes at the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The issue concludes with a profile of Council Member Jessica Lappin, highlighting her work on landmarking, public siting, and construction safety.
