Description

The September 2009 issue of CityLand highlights key land use and preservation developments in New York City. The City Council approved a special permit for a residential project in Carnegie Hill and denied a sidewalk café permit for Spitzer’s Corner on the Lower East Side. The City Planning Commission held hearings on the FRESH grocery store incentive program, the Carroll Gardens/Columbia Street rezoning, and a City Island development seeking a height waiver. The Commission also approved the Sunset Park rezoning plan. BSA decisions included variances for residential use in Mott Haven and a rear yard waiver in Crown Heights. Landmark hearings featured the B.F. Goodrich buildings and nine Staten Island properties, including the Staten Island Armory and Christ Church. Landmarks also proposed a fee increase for new building and alteration applications. Legal updates include a court ruling on the NYPD’s Joint Operations Command Center and administrative decisions on illegal signage and pay phone advertising. The issue concludes with a profile of Laurie Silberfeld, General Counsel of the Hudson River Park Trust, discussing the park’s development and future.
