CB2 in April_ZoningCB2 in April Reviews Proposed Zoning Text Ammendment and Four Liquor Licenses

LAND USE   Anita Brandt, Chair
Wed., 4/8 @ 6:30 PM- NYU Silver Building, 32 Waverly Place, Room 411

Update on the Zoning for Quality and Affordability Text Amendment scoping hearing that was held on March 25th.

City Planning Commission’s proposed Housing New York: Zoning for Quality & Affordability   See the Proposal

There are many opinions on this one and unusually sparse explanation from CPC.  CB#2 Manhattan is following this closely.  Attending this hearing will likely shed more light.

The major objection one hears is that the plan will open a great deal of existing stock to re-development and provide very little in actual affordable units. The particulars of how it would be applied in Historic Districts that are also Contextually Zoned are equally unexplained.

We invite you to read the statement from The Historic Districts Council, and if you haven’t already, check the comments from GVSHP.  All that said, NoHo is one of a very few areas in The Village that is NOT subject to Contextual Zoning, the key component for The Mayor’s new plan.
