Description
The April 2010 issue of CityLand covers significant land use, preservation, and legal developments in New York City. The City Council approved a zoning text amendment to close a parking loophole in Bronx Community District 10. The City Planning Commission approved the controversial Rose Plaza on the River development in Williamsburg and held hearings on the Astoria contextual rezoning and an energy-efficient affordable housing project in Bushwick. BSA denied a variance for additional townhouses in Park Slope and granted variances for Central Synagogue and a Carroll Gardens development. Landmark actions included the designation of the Upper East Side Historic District Extension, the Brill Building, and the Bissell House. Landmarks also denied legalization of an unauthorized rooftop addition on West 68th Street and approved the design for a partially-built hotel in NoHo. Hearings were held for the Olivet Memorial Church and Addisleigh Park Historic District. Legal updates include court rulings upholding adult use zoning laws and BSA’s denial of a special permit. The issue concludes with a profile of Richard Bearak, Director of Land Use for Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
