  • 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.

  • GRACIE MANSION, East End Avenue at 88Th Street in Carl Schurz Park, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 20, 1966, Number 1 LP-0179 GRACIE MANSION, East End Avenue at 88th Street in Carl Schurz Park, Borough of Manhattan. Begun 1799, completed 1801; north addition 1810. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1592, Lot l in part, consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On March 8, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Gracie Mansion and the proposed desig­ nation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of l aw. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including the Park Commissioner Thomas • Hoving. There were no speakers in opposition to designation~ DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Located in Carl Schurz Park on the East River at East Eighty Eighth Street is one of the finest Federal Style country seats r emaining to us from that early period. Standing on a promontory, once known as "Gracie's Point," the large two­ story frame house is enclosed, at first floor l evel, by a porch surmounted by a handsome Chinese hippendale railing, a near duplicate of the balustrade surrounding the hipped roof above. On the river side the house boasts ~~ exceedingly fine Federal doorway with leaded glass sidelights and a semi-circular lunette above the door, flanked by oval rosettes set between delicate wood consoles. As tradition would have us believe, this work, consisting of additions made b,y Archibald Gracie about 1809, may well represent the efforts of the noted architect, Major Charles Pierre L'Enfant.

  • S P R I N G 20 18
    S P R I N G 2018 URBAN REVIEW LETTER FROM THE EDITORS A magazine of the Hunter College Planning is inherently political; this is something that Hunter students know well. The Introduction Department of to Planning course has many students reading entire books on problem solving and policy analysis, Urban Affairs & Planning as we aspire to not simply write plans from afar but to affect change, using our skills as planners to SPRING ‘18 advocate within the imperfect and at times broken realm of politics. STAFF However, politics is not simply a tool to accomplish goals of planning. Planning itself is a powerful Editors in Chief political tool, one that can be used to accomplish and demonstrate political goals. A zoning change, a Aly Hassell parking limit, or a design for a park are not technical planning decisions but are pronouncements of Atara Lindenbaum priorities, of political goals, and of particular visions of space and community. Our responsibility as future planners is to probe this technical side of planning, determining its larger context. Layout and Design Editor Aly Hassell This issue of Urban Review had the privilege to feature two accomplished and active planners: Com- missioner Mitchell Silver of the NYC Parks Department and Dr. Lester King, Sustainability Planner Writers James Hull in Houston, TX. Both Silver and King emphasize the need for proper community engagement and Beatriz Gil dialogue. Vicky Garvey Ranjana Venkatesh It is time to ask, however, if this focus on process, on stakeholder engagement and communication Atara Lindenbaum suffices. Equitable planning processes may be inherently positive improvements, but our cities, our Andy Lawson Michael Kralovich people, need equitable results as well.

  • 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.

  • Chapter 4: Social Conditions
    Chapter 4: Social Conditions A. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This chapter addresses a variety of issues that support social conditions, including population and housing characteristics, community facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The discussion of social conditions considers the entire MESA study area (depicted in Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3, above) with particular focus on the project corridor—the routes proposed for the various project alternatives—where the greatest potential for change would occur. Because none of the project alternatives have the potential to change social conditions in the secondary study area, where Build Alternatives 1 and 2 would add service along an existing subway line, this analysis is of the primary study area only. The analysis was conducted by first compiling existing data for population and housing, com- munity facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The source for the population and housing data is the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. The inventory of community facilities is based on Community District Needs (1997) for Manhattan’s Community Boards, the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Property Lists (dated November 4, 1996), supplementary information provided by the various Community Boards within the study area, and the informa- tion gathered for the analysis of land use, zoning, and public policy in Chapter 3. The assessment of neighborhood character is based on information gathered for other chapters of this document, particularly including the analyses of land use (Chapter 3) and visual and aesthetic considerations (Chapter 6). After assessing the existing conditions in the study area, the expected changes in the future are considered, based on information compiled in Chapter 3.
