Description

The June 2009 issue of CityLand covers major land use and preservation developments in New York City. The City Council approved Two Trees Management’s controversial Dock Street DUMBO development and its Clinton Park mixed-use tower. The City Planning Commission held hearings on the comprehensive Coney Island rezoning and a proposed Brighton Beach rezoning, both met with community concerns. Staten Island’s Cross Access Connection proposal was advanced to reduce traffic congestion. Landmark coverage includes the designation of the Fillmore Place and Audubon Park Historic Districts, and hearings on the St. Vincent’s Hospital redevelopment and a preschool conversion in the Upper West Side. BSA decisions include a variance for an autism school and an extension for a Carroll Gardens development. Legal updates include a $1.1 million settlement for repairs to the Windermere building, enforcement of party wall maintenance, and a federal court ruling on RLUIPA’s “equal terms” provision. The issue concludes with a profile of Robin Stout and the future of the Moynihan Station project.
