Early last century, industrial piers stretched up the Hudson River from the Battery to the Upper West Side. Most respectable New Yorkers shied away from the working waterfront and therefore lived toward the middle of the island. But in today’s postindustrial Manhattan, the West Side is a highly desirable—and expensive— place, home to residential developments catering to the well-to-do who want to live close to the waterfront and its now recreational piers. -

Chapter 9: Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION
Chapter 9: Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the potential effects of the proposed project on urban design and visual resources. It is expected that the Farley Complex, an important visual resource, would be altered by the insertion of a new intermodal hall between West 31st and 33rd Streets that would be enclosed with a glass skylight, as envisioned in the preliminary design that was previously considered in 1999. Further, since Phase II of the proposed project could include construction of a structure of up to 1 million zoning square feet either above the Western Annex or on the Development Transfer Site at Eighth Avenue between West 34th and West 33rd Streets, it could create a more visible alteration to the urban design character of the study area. As recommended by the CEQR Technical Manual, the study area is, therefore, defined as the area within approximately 400 feet of the project site—an area bounded by West 30th and 34th Streets, the west side of Ninth Avenue and the east side of Eighth Avenue (see Figure 9-1). This chapter has been prepared in accordance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), which requires that State agencies consider the effects of their actions on urban design and visual resources. The technical analysis follows the guidance of the CEQR Technical Manual. As defined in the manual, urban design components and visual resources determine the “look” of a neighborhood—its physical appearance, including the street pattern, the size and shape of buildings, their arrangement on blocks, streetscape features, natural features, and noteworthy views that may give an area a distinctive character.
