Description
The April 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 Battery Maritime Building redevelopment, including a boutique hotel addition, and the rezoning of North Corona and Forest Hills to curb out-of-character development. The Council also approved Toll Brothers’ Gowanus Canal waterfront project despite concerns over affordable housing guarantees. The City Planning Commission modified parking requirements for a Clinton development and approved a text amendment for Hudson Yards to facilitate residential construction. Landmark actions include approval of St. Vincent’s revised hospital design and the reconstruction of Pier 15 in the South Street Seaport Historic District. Legal updates include court rulings on the Atlantic Yards blight designation and a BSA permit denial overturned for a Midwood condo. The issue concludes with a profile of Leonard Wasserman and a guest commentary on the proposed zoning development challenge process.
