Description

The November 2009 issue of CityLand covers major land use and preservation developments in New York City. The City Council approved a modified version of Hines’s proposed MoMA tower, capping its height at 1,050 feet and reducing its hotel component. New legislation was passed to preserve permits for stalled construction sites. The Council also debated the FRESH program to incentivize grocery stores in underserved neighborhoods and approved residential developments on City Island and in Carroll Gardens. The City Planning Commission approved the Kingsbridge Armory redevelopment and heard testimony on the Sunset Park 197-a Plan. BSA granted a special permit for FIT’s new academic building. Landmark actions included the designation of the Lamartine Place Historic District, the S. Jarmulowsky Bank Building, and the Ocean on the Park Historic District. Hearings were held for the SoHo-Cast Iron and Greenwich Village Historic District extensions. The issue concludes with a guest commentary on parkland concessions and a profile of Wilhelm Ronda, Director of Planning for the Bronx Borough President.
