  • Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION B
    Chapter 2, Section A: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION The project site is located in the Borough of Manhattan and includes the median malls on Allen Street between Delancey Street and East Broadway and on Pike Street between East Broadway and South Streets (sees Figure 2A-1). The Proposed Project would reconstruct the median mall sections to provide public green space, recreational space, and amenities, would improve the overall visual character of Allen and Pike Streets between Delancey and South Streets, and would serve as a gateway to the East River Esplanade from interior blocks. This section considers existing land use, zoning, and public land use policies for the project site and the surrounding 400-foot study area. Land use issues associated with the Proposed Project include potential changes in local land uses and neighborhood land use patterns. Zoning and public policy issues include the compatibility of the proposed modifications to the median malls with existing zoning and public policies. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS As described below, this analysis concludes that the Proposed Project would be in keeping with and supportive of existing land uses in the study area, and that it would be consistent with zoning and public policy for the area. Overall, the Proposed Project would not result in any significant adverse impacts to land use, zoning or public policy. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS LAND USE PROJECT SITE The project site includes the Allen and Pike Street malls and the adjacent travel lanes. The Allen Street malls are located between Delancey Street and East Broadway. The Pike Street malls are located between East Broadway and South Street.

  • Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans
    Renewing Renewal: Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Preservation COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Caroline Thompson May 2020 Abstract Communities impacted by urban renewal in the mid-twentieth century were largely unable to stop the changes brought to their neighborhoods. The plans that operationalized urban renewal remained in place for over 40 years, with significant legislative, legal, and financial effort required to make any alterations. In New York City, many of the urban renewal areas and their governing plans have since expired, ushering in market-driven development and neighborhood changes. This thesis uses a mixed-methods approach to analyze the subsequent built environment changes and to explore community involvement through case studies of redevelopment in the former Seward Park Extension Urban Renewal Area (SPEURA) and Two Bridges Urban Renewal Area (TBURA). While many lots remain unchanged since the urban renewal era, those that have changed reflect local development preferences or the results of major rezonings. The case studies reveal the wide variety of methods of community involvement in site redevelopment, with implications for future participation in redevelopment in the city. Key words: urban renewal, participation, Two Bridges, Essex Crossing, Large-Scale Developments ii Table of Contents List of Figures .......................................................................................................................

  • Transcript: Wake Up, New York! a Sunrise NYC Podcast 01: Green New Deal for Public Housing: Why Do We Need It?
    Transcript: Wake Up, New York! A Sunrise NYC Podcast 01: Green New Deal for Public Housing: Why Do We Need It? In April, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders reintroduced the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act at the federal level. In this episode, we are talking about the history of New York City public housing (NYCHA), where it is today, and why we must enact a Green New Deal for Public Housing in New York City. We speak with current tenants Jasmin Sanchez, Romaine Singleton, La Keesha Taylor, and Cesar Yoc to hear about their experiences living in NYCHA housing, and why the time for change is now. The following has been lightly edited for clarity. [00:00:00] (THEME: “Time Capsules” by Janet May) GIO: [00:00:35] Welcome to our first episode of WAKE UP, NEW YORK!
