ZONING DIVISION Marisa Lago, Director Department of City Planning October 23, 2020 Re: N 210095 ZRY- Proposed Zoning for Coastal Flood Resiliency Citywide Text Amendment Dear New Yorker: On October 19, 2020, the Department of City Planning referred out the Zoning for Coastal Flood Resiliency (ZCFR) Citywide Text Amendment (N 210095 ZRY), beginning the public review process. The proposed zoning text amendment would make permanent and improve upon the Special Regulations Applying in Flood Hazard Areas (Article VI, Chapter 4) of the New York City Zoning Resolution to remove zoning barriers that hinder the reconstruction and retrofitting of buildings to resiliency standards and to help ensure that new construction will be more resilient. In addition, ZCFR would include citywide provisions to help sites provide back-up energy, and rules that help the City recover from future disasters, including provisions intended to help address the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated economic effects. Please refer to the digital application in this transmission for a more detailed description of the proposed amendment. Additional information on the proposal is available on the Department of City Planning’s website. The application for the zoning text amendment (N 210095 ZRY) is subject to your review. Zoning text amendments are not subject to the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure. The Department of City Planning is referring this application to the affected Community Boards for 60 days. If you have any comments or recommendations on this application, please use the attached instructions to complete your submission by December 28, 2020.
