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. -

Chapter 4: Open Space
Open Space 4.1 Introduction This chapter assesses the potential effects on open space that could result from the Proposed Action. Open space is defined as publicly or privately owned land that is publicly accessible and operates, functions, or is available for leisure, play, or sport, or set aside for the protection and/or enhancement of the natural environment. Open space that is used for sports, exercise, or active play is classified as active, while open space that is used for relaxation, such as sitting or strolling, is classified as passive. According to the 2014 CEQR Technical Manual, an analysis of open space is conducted to determine whether a proposed action would have a direct impact resulting from the elimination or alteration of open space and/or an indirect impact resulting from overtaxing available open space. The Proposed Action, discussed in Section 1.4 of Chapter 1 “Project Description,” comprises zoning text and zoning map amendments to establish the East Midtown Subdistrict within an approximately 78-block area within the East Midtown neighborhood of Manhattan. The Proposed Action is intended to reinforce the area’s standing as a premiere central business district, support the preservation of landmarks, and provide for public realm improvements, such as pedestrian plazas, shared streets, and a redesigned Park Avenue Median that would be new open space resources. Under the Reasonable Worst-Case Development Scenario (RWCDS), the Proposed Action is projected to result in approximately 13,394,777 gross square feet (gsf) of office floor area, 601,899 gsf of retail floor area and 237,841 gsf of residential floor area on 16 Projected Development Sites. -
