Description

The August 2010 issue of CityLand covers major land use, zoning, and preservation developments across New York City. The City Council approved the Flushing Commons and Macedonia Plaza projects in Queens, following a $6 million commitment to support small businesses during construction. The Council also approved the redevelopment of the Domino Sugar site in Williamsburg and advanced the acquisition of the final section of the High Line. The City Planning Commission approved the 15 Penn Plaza commercial tower proposal, which includes reopening the historic Gimbels Passageway. The issue reports on a proposed zoning text amendment to regulate car-share parking and several Board of Standards & Appeals decisions, including a controversial sliver tower on the Upper West Side. Landmarks actions include the designation of the Look Building and the decalendaring of 45 Park Place, the proposed site of the Park51 mosque. The issue concludes with a profile of Amanda M. Burden, highlighting her leadership on the Vision 2020 waterfront plan.
