Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION Chapter 2: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the proposed actions would result in an approximately 1.7 million gross-square-foot1 (gsf) (1.648 million zoning-square-foot) mixed-use development on 10 City-owned sites (of which nine are proposed development sites), the mapping of sections of Broome and Suffolk Streets, and the demapping of sections of Clinton and Delancey Streets, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan (see Figure 2-1). As set forth in Chapter 1, the reasonable worst-case development scenario (RWCDS) for the proposed actions envisions the development of 900 dwelling units (of which half would be affordable), approximately 632,300 gsf of commercial space, approximately 114,000 gsf of community facility or cultural uses, up to 500 parking spaces, and an approximately 10,000-square-foot publicly accessible open space. This chapter considers the proposed actions’ potential impacts on land use, zoning, and public land use policies. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS Overall, this analysis concludes that the proposed actions would not have any significant adverse impacts on land use, zoning, or public policy. LAND USE The proposed actions would have a positive effect on land use by creating an active new mixed- use development with publicly accessible open space on underutilized sites. The new housing, retail, publicly accessible open space, and community facility uses would bring activity to the proposed development sites and would serve both residents of the surrounding area and the larger community. The new uses introduced by the proposed actions would be compatible with the existing and anticipated future mix of residential, retail, and commercial uses in the surrounding area. The height and bulk of the proposed development would complement the existing built fabric and help to knit together surrounding neighborhoods. Therefore, the proposed actions would not result in any significant adverse land use impacts. ZONING The proposed actions would include a Large Scale General Development (LSGD) special permit, which would allow the proposed development to better integrate the programming of its proposed uses, and would provide flexibility in design and massing. The proposed actions would not change the underlying zoning of the project site, except to map new C2-5 commercial overlay zones on Sites 3, 4, 5, and 6. The proposed commercial overlay zones would be compatible with existing commercial zoning in adjacent areas. The retail uses that could be introduced as a result of the zoning change would be compatible with existing retail uses and the 1 This number does not include below-grade parking space or space in the existing parking garage on Site 7. 2-1 E 5 ST E 4 ST 2.21.12 E 5 ST 1 AV 2 AV E 3 ST AV A AV B AV C AV D E 1 ST E 2 ST E HOUSTON ST E HOUSTON ST SUFFOLK ST PITT ST PITT SHERIFF ST SHERIFF ATTORNEY ST STANTON ST STANTON ST RIDGE ST RIDGE NORFOLK ST NORFOLK 10 FREEMAN AL 8 CLINTON ST COLUMBIA ST COLUMBIA ESSEX ST ESSEX RIVINGTON ST RIVINGTON ST 9 7 ATTORNEY ST FORSYTH ST FORSYTH CHRYSTIE ST CHRYSTIE DELANCEY ST WILLIAMSBURG BR APPR 2 LUDLOW ST LUDLOW 3 1 4 6 ORCHARD ST ORCHARD BROOME ST CANNON ST ALLEN ST ALLEN 5 BIALYSTOKER PL PITT ST GRAND ST ABRAHAM KAZAN ST HESTER ST HESTER ST SAMUEL DICKSTEIN PLZ ELDRIDGE ST ELDRIDGE GOUVERNEUR ST CANAL ST BOWERY JEFFERSON ST MONTGOMERY ST RUTGERS ST MONROE ST MN BR APPR FORSYTH ST CLINTON ST PIKE ST HENRY ST PIKE ST PIKE ST WATER ST MN BR APPR MADISON ST E BROADWAY MARKET ST F D R DR CHERRY ST F D R DR F D R DR DIVISION ST 0 400 800 FEET Former Seward Park Urban Renewal Area (URA) Commercial and Office Buildings Former Seward Park Extension URA Industrial and Manufacturing SCALE Proposed Development Sites Transportation and Utility Public Facilities and Institutions Site 7 Would Not Be Redeveloped Under the Proposed Actions Open Space and Outdoor Recreation Study Area Boundary (1/4-Mile Perimeter) Parking Facilities Residential Vacant Land Residential with Commercial Below Vacant Building Hotels Under Construction Land Use SEWARD PARK MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Figure 2-1 Seward Park Mixed-Use Development Project mixed-use character of the study area. The zoning relief (such as height and setback waivers) being sought would facilitate a superior site plan that is responsive to the context of the project site and would complement the surrounding study area. Therefore, the proposed actions would not result in significant adverse zoning impacts. PUBLIC POLICY The proposed actions would support and further the objectives of applicable public policies, including the Mayor’s New Housing Marketplace Plan, nearby business improvement districts, and PlaNYC 2030. The proposed actions would not result in any significant adverse public policy impacts. In addition, the proposed actions and RWCDS would be in broad accordance with Manhattan Community Board 3’s (CB3) redevelopment guidelines in terms of its mixed- use character, affordable and market housing development, commercial development, urban design plan, parking, and potential for community facility development. B. METHODOLOGY The purpose of this chapter is to examine the effects of the proposed land use and zoning changes and determine whether they would result in any significant adverse impacts on land use, zoning, or public policy. The analysis methodology is based on the guidelines of the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual (January 2012 edition) and examines the consistency of the proposed actions and RWCDS with land use patterns and development trends, zoning regulations and other applicable public policies. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, a detailed assessment of land use, zoning and public policy may be appropriate when needed to sufficiently inform other technical reviews and determine whether changes in land use could affect conditions analyzed in those technical areas. Therefore, this chapter includes a detailed analysis that involves a thorough description of existing land uses within the project site and the broader study area. Following the guidelines of the CEQR Technical Manual, the detailed analysis describes existing and anticipated future conditions for the 2022 analysis year to a level necessary to understand the relationship of the proposed actions and RWCDS to such conditions, assesses the nature of any changes on these conditions that would be created by the proposed actions, and identifies those changes, if any, that could be significant or adverse. The analysis of the impacts of the proposed actions in 2022 considers the full development of the RWCDS. The study area for this analysis has been defined as being within a ¼-mile radius of the project site, where the proposed actions have the greatest potential to affect land use trends (see Figure 2-1). Various sources were used to comprehensively analyze the land use, zoning, and public policy characteristics of the study area, including field surveys, land use and zoning maps, and online sources from the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP), the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), the City of New York Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD), and the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB). C. BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT HISTORY The project site is located in the historically economically and ethnically diverse Lower East Side. By the turn of the 20th century, the Lower East Side was an immigrant neighborhood known for its bustling street-level commercial activity and its overcrowded tenement buildings. While the population on the Lower East Side grew through the middle of the 20th century, the housing—much of which had been built 60 years prior—remained overcrowded. In the mid- 1950s through the 1970s, portions of the Lower East Side were deemed as appropriate for urban 2-2 Chapter 2: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy renewal under the City’s Urban Renewal Law. Development in these urban renewal areas typically took the form of multi-tower residential buildings on large superblocks along the East River from East 14th Street to as far south as the Manhattan Bridge. Urban renewal is the legal authority granted to municipalities to redevelop entire neighborhoods through planned and coordinated actions, provided by Section 504 of Article 15 (“Urban Renewal Law”) of the General Municipal Law of the State of New York. There have been approximately 150 urban renewal areas (URAs) in New York City, which are planned and administered by HPD, the agency designated to carry out the provisions of the Urban Renewal Law pursuant to Section 502(5) of the Urban Renewal Law and Section 1802(6)(e) of the City Charter. In the project area, the area bounded by Essex Street on the west, Grand Street on the north, and East Broadway on the south was designated in 1955 as the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area (SPURA), and it was cleared for redevelopment. In 1957, the federal government provided funding for the Seward Park Co-ops, which were completed in 1962. This development included approximately 1,728 affordable non-profit cooperative housing units, a bank, health center, and local retail stores. Although the units were price-restricted for more than 30 years, the co-op board voted to go private in 2000, which allowed the tenants to sell their units at market prices. Established in 1965 and expired in 2005, the Seward Park Extension URA (SPEURA), which is directly north of the original SPURA, is bordered by Essex Street, Grand Street, Bialystoker Place, and Delancey Street. Sites 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are located within the former SPEURA boundaries. In 1967, demolition began in the SPEURA to clear land for new housing and commercial buildings.

Because this crisis poses a particular threat to the many low-income New Yorkers whom Henry Street serves, the Settlement is actively providing food, connections to needed benefits, crucial information to stay safe, and emotional support. Details follow below. Henry Street’s core services never close. Our four transitional housing residences, two supportive housing buildings, Senior Center, Meals on Wheels, and the Community Consultation Center are continuing to provide essential services to our residents and participants, particularly those who are high risk. We have suspended services that bring large groups of people together and moved others online, from ESOL classes to instrumental music lessons. “Henry Street Settlement has been opening doors, listening to the needs of our community, and responding promptly and effectively for 127 years,” said David Garza, president and CEO. “From the outset of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have been focusing on the health and safety of the community we serve, the protection and support of the team at Henry Street, and the continuity of our services and operations. Because of our long-standing role in caring for the most vulnerable New Yorkers, we now find ourselves at the epicenter of providing vital services, safety, and stability to our residents, clients, and participants at this critical time.

    NORCs IN NEW YORK Tobias armborsT, GeorGeen Theodore, and daniel d’oCa of inTerboro ParTners Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/thld_a_00145 by guest on 23 September 2021 INTERBORO PARTNERS NORC is a funny word, but we didn’t make it up. On the contrary, the word is recognized by the local, state, and federal government, and has been in use since 1986. Actually, NORC is an acronym. It stands for “Naturally Occurring Retirement Community.” Basically, a NORC is a place (a building, a development, a neighborhood) with a significant elderly population that wasn’t purpose-built as a senior community. What counts as a “significant elderly population” varies from place to place (and from one level of government to the next), but that’s the basic definition. NORCs are important because once a community meets the criteria, it becomes eligible for local, state, and federal funds to retroactively provide that community with the support services elderly populations need (for example, case management and social work services, health care management and prevention programs, education, socialization, and recreational activities, and volunteer opportunities for program participants and the community). As it happens, there are 27 NORCs in New York City, located in four boroughs. NORCs are a national—even international— phenomenon, but the NORC movement began right here in New York City, when a consortium of UJA-Federation agencies THRESHOLDS 40 established the Penn South Program for Seniors in 1986. Let us say a few words about why we’re so interested in NORCs: First of all, the “naturally occurring” part is intriguing.

CHINATOWN After September 11th FOREWORD Nearly seven months after September 11th, New Yorkers of all backgrounds continue to feel the pains of the unfortunate loss of life while we work hard to heal our wounds and rebuild our city. The impact of September 11th has certainly been pervasive beyond words, as has been the outpouring of heroism and philanthropy demonstrated by so many ordinary people, uniformed as well as civilian, during these trying times. All of us at the Asian American Federation pay our respects to those who have lost or given their lives, offer our best wishes to those families who have endured the tragedy, and salute the fine spirit of New York. The lingering aftermath of September 11th is deeply felt in neighborhoods close to Ground Zero, including Chinatown. During the first three months after September 11th, stories abounded about the desperation of many low-wage workers who became unemployed and the resolution of many small business owners who worried about their firms’ prospects.
