NYCHA Feb 2011 | 7 Development Challenges

Site Analysis Challenges ▪▪ Determining maximum development potential in the Manhattan super- block campus is challenging requiring further zoning analysis based on [ALTA] land survey; massing studies are also required to confirm potential ▪▪ Maximum development potential of sites may produce buildings significantly out of scale with surrounding neighborhood ▪▪ Develoment of some sites will result in displacement of open space (passive and active recreation) used by residents of NYCHA and surrounding neighborhoods ▪▪ Relocation of playgrounds and trash compactors may be required for some sites ▪▪ Detailed analysis of existing parking usage is required as replacement parking could be cost prohibitive ▪▪ Remediation of oil spills could impact development timetable and costs Smith Houses Site Plan and ▪▪ Rezoning for ground floor retail will trigger ULURP identification of a potential development site (active recreational ▪▪ According to HPD, low-income housing developments are limited to 13 space) and surrounding context. stories due to prohibitive construction costs for taller buildings Smith Houses is zoned R7-2
