Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts. -

Urban Design and Visual Resources
18.0 Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter evaluates the effects of the Proposed Action on the urban form and visual resources of the Project Site and surrounding Study Area. Provided in this chapter is a description and analysis of the existing urban design and visual resources of the Project Site and Study Area, and descriptions of Future conditions with and without the Proposed Action in 2009. No significant adverse impacts to urban design or visual resources would result from the Proposed Action; the variations, all of which would be constructed according to the same site plan and building envelope as the Preferred Development Program, would likewise result in no significant adverse impacts to urban design or visual resources. The Proposed Action would result in development that differs substantially in height, bulk, form, scale, and arrangement compared to the uses currently found on the Project Site. These changes are identified in the CEQR Technical Manual as conditions suggesting that analyses of urban design and visual resources are appropriate. Based on guidance in the CEQR Technical Manual, the urban design analysis considers the potential impact of the Proposed Action related to building bulk, use, type, and arrangement, block form, street pattern and hierarchy, streetscape elements, and natural features. Also, based on guidance provided in the CEQR Technical Manual, the visual resources analysis considers the potential impact of the Proposed Action on important views of visual resources, such as the East River waterfront and the historic Queensboro Bridge and New York Architectural Terra Cotta Company building, from publicly accessible locations. -
