Description

The July 2009 issue of CityLand highlights major land use, zoning, and preservation developments in New York City. The City Council approved Fordham University’s Lincoln Center expansion plan with modifications to building height and bulk, and passed Two Trees Management’s Dock Street DUMBO development despite controversy over views of the Brooklyn Bridge. The Council also approved rezoning plans for Canarsie, Cord Meyer–Forest Hills, and the Lower Concourse in the Bronx, aiming to preserve neighborhood character and improve waterfront access. The City Planning Commission advanced the modified Coney Island redevelopment plan. BSA decisions included vested rights approval for a Lower East Side hotel and a variance for Trevor Day School’s new building. Landmark actions featured the designation of the Prospect Heights Historic District, approval of BAM’s new theater, and denial of a rear yard addition at West 68th Street. Legal updates include a remand of a vested rights claim in Van Cortlandt Village and a court order for advance payment in a Staten Island condemnation case. The issue concludes with a profile of Vin Cipolla, Executive Director of the Municipal Art Society.
