Description

The July 2010 issue of CityLand covers significant land use, zoning, and preservation developments across New York City. Highlights include the City Council’s approval of a modified version of the Domino Sugar redevelopment in Williamsburg, restoring the height of the office tower and adjusting other components. The Council also approved a zoning text amendment to facilitate a 22-story affordable housing project in West Chelsea and a rezoning for a mixed-income development in Crotona Park East, Bronx. Additional approvals included a new public school facility for P.S. 51 in Clinton and a thirteen-story mixed-use building near Fordham University. The City Planning Commission approved the Flushing Commons and Macedonia Plaza projects, and certified rezonings for Rosedale, North Tribeca, and the West Village. Landmarks designated the Greenwich Village Historic District Extension II and held hearings on the Grand Concourse Historic District and twelve individual buildings, including the Japan Society and Loew’s Canal Street Theatre. Legal decisions included the Court of Appeals’ reversal of a lower court ruling, upholding Columbia University’s use of eminent domain for its West Harlem expansion. A profile of Council Member Leroy Comrie explores his leadership as Chair of the Land Use Committee.
