Description

The August 2009 issue of CityLand covers major land use, zoning, and preservation developments in New York City. The City Council approved the Port Authority’s ARC rail station project, rezoning plans for Middle Village/Maspeth, Flatbush, DUMBO, and Greenpoint-Williamsburg, and a modified Coney Island revitalization plan with increased affordable housing and preservation of the Wonder Wheel. The Department of City Planning withdrew its Brighton Beach rezoning proposal due to stakeholder disagreements. Landmark coverage includes final approval of the St. Vincent’s Hospital redevelopment, hearings on the West Park Presbyterian Church and IRT Powerhouse designations, and criticism of a proposed rooftop addition in the Ladies’ Mile Historic District. BSA decisions include vested rights for a hotel in Corona and various variances and special permits. Legal updates feature a court ruling on DOI’s subpoena power, a malpractice claim over zoning advice, and a commentary on eminent domain and public-private partnerships. The issue concludes with a profile of Sherida Paulsen, President of AIA New York, discussing architectural challenges and preservation policy.
