Description

The September 2008 issue of CityLand covers major land use, zoning, and preservation developments across New York City. The City Council approved the Rockaway rezoning plan and the NoHo Historic District extension, including the controversial Whitehouse Hotel. Amendments to the Hudson Yards zoning text were adopted, and the Council passed new site safety laws for construction workers. The City Planning Commission heard testimony on the East Village/Lower East Side rezoning, the Hunter’s Point South redevelopment, and approved plans for the Whitney Museum’s downtown expansion and the Hospital for Special Surgery’s River Building over the FDR Drive. Staten Island’s new courthouse and garage were also approved. The issue includes a profile of Lynn Kelly, President of the Coney Island Development Corporation, discussing the urgency of rezoning to preserve the area’s amusement character. Legal decisions addressed vested rights in Van Cortlandt Village, DOI’s subpoena power, and EDC’s right to reclaim the Corn Exchange Bank building in Harlem.
