Description

The March 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 Gateway Shopping Center in East New York and the Phipps Houses affordable housing project in Kips Bay. The issue also reports on the establishment of the Bed-Stuy Gateway BID and the modification of the North Corona rezoning to support local businesses. The City Planning Commission reviewed Two Trees’ Clinton Park development and proposed bicycle parking regulations. Landmark actions include the designation of Chase Manhattan Plaza and the Alice and Agate Courts Historic District. BSA decisions addressed Cornell’s expansion, open space access at Park West Village, and a variance for residential use in SoHo. Legal updates include a court ruling on transient hotel use on the Upper West Side and EDC’s successful reclaiming of the Corn Exchange Bank building. The issue concludes with a profile of LPC Chair Robert B. Tierney and his five-borough preservation strategy.
