Description

The February 2009 issue of CityLand covers a wide range of land use, zoning, and preservation developments in New York City. Highlights include the City Council’s approval of the Via Verde housing project in Melrose, Bronx, and a special permit for hotel and retail use at the Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo. The City Planning Commission reviewed Toll Brothers’ proposed development along the Gowanus Canal and approved amendments to the Clinton Theater Bonus zoning text. The Department of City Planning held a scoping hearing for Vornado’s 15 Penn Plaza redevelopment. BSA decisions addressed vested rights in Homecrest and upheld a building permit in Williamsburg despite rooftop access litigation. Landmark actions included the designation of 275 Madison Avenue and hearings on the Lamartine Place and Ridgewood North Historic Districts. Legal updates include a court ruling in favor of Trump SoHo and a federal injunction protecting a church’s catering agreement. The issue concludes with a profile of Daniel C. Walsh and the City’s new brownfield cleanup initiative.
