Description
The October 2008 issue of CityLand covers significant land use and preservation developments in New York City. The City Council postponed a vote on the Hospital for Special Surgery’s expansion plan, while approving the Waldheim rezoning in Flushing despite civic opposition. The City Planning Commission modified the Dutch Kills rezoning to increase FAR for certain uses and approved the East Harlem redevelopment plan. The Fulton Street BID was approved, and the Budget Rent-a-Car rezoning and street demapping in Queens were finalized. The issue includes court decisions upholding landmark designations for the City and Suburban Homes Estate and compelling the NYSDEC to accept a brownfield application. It also features a profile of Andrew Dolkart, Columbia University’s Director of Historic Preservation, and reports on new landmark designations including the Wheatsworth Factory and Public National Bank of NY. Morris Adjmi’s designs for Tribeca and Greenwich Village were approved, and hearings were held for the Alice and Agate Courts Historic District in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
