Description
This issue of CityLand covers major land use and preservation developments in New York City as of June 2013. The City Council reviewed legislation to streamline sidewalk café licensing and expand operating hours, sparking debate over community board review timelines. The Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a revised six-story residential building at 42 Crosby Street and authorized emergency facade demolition at 321–323 Canal Street due to structural instability. Tammany Hall at 100 East 17th Street entered the landmarking process, and the Marine Midland Bank building at 140 Broadway received strong support for designation. A guest commentary from Time’s Up highlighted the destruction of a community garden in Williamsburg and the need for open space. The Center for New York City Law hosted a Master Class on the 1969 Plan for New York City, featuring former CPC Chair Donald Elliott and Edgar Lampert. A profile of Howard Slatkin, Director of Sustainability at the Department of City Planning, explored his work on Zone Green and post-Hurricane Sandy resilience planning. The issue also includes extensive charts on ULURP, BSA, and Landmarks activity.
