Description

The December 2010 issue of CityLand highlights significant land use, zoning, and preservation developments across New York City. The City Council modified Extell’s Riverside Center proposal on the Upper West Side, increasing on-site affordable housing and school space. Supportive housing projects were approved in the East Village and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, with community concerns addressed through design revisions. The Board of Standards & Appeals granted variances for a three-building affordable housing project in East Tremont, Bronx, citing site constraints from an abandoned railway. Landmarks designated Paul Rudolph’s penthouse at 23 Beekman Place and two Federal-era rowhouses on Grand Street, while approving additions in the Meatpacking District, Ladies’ Mile, and Tribeca. The Economic Development Corporation issued RFPs and RFEIs for redevelopment of the Bush Terminal waterfront site in Sunset Park and the Taystee Bakery complex in West Harlem. Court decisions included a ruling affirming a church’s right to host catered events and criticism of ESDC’s environmental review process for the Atlantic Yards project. The issue concludes with a profile of Douglas Durst, discussing sustainable development, green building leadership, and the One World Trade Center project.
