  • Chapter 5: Community Facilities and Services

    Chapter 5: Community Facilities and Services

    Chapter 5: Community Facilities and Services A. INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the potential impacts of the proposed actions on community facilities and services. As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the applicants, the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) and SJC 33 Owner 2015 LLC, are proposing a series of discretionary actions (the proposed actions) that would facilitate the redevelopment of St. John’s Terminal Building at 550 Washington Street (Block 596, Lot 1) (the development site) with a mix of residential and commercial uses, and public open space (the proposed project) in Manhattan Community District 2. Community facilities and services are defined in the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual as public or publicly funded schools, child care centers, libraries, health care facilities, and fire and police protection services. CEQR methodology focuses on direct effects on community facilities, such as when a facility is physically displaced or altered, and on indirect effects, which could result from increased demand for community facilities and services generated by new users such as the new population that would result from the proposed project. Since the certification of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the New York City Department of Education’s (DOE) enrollment projections were updated. Therefore, the public school analysis has been updated for consistency with DOE’s enrollment projections for years 2015 through 2024, the most recent data currently available. In addition, based on guidance from SCA (see Appendix C, “Agency Correspondence”), existing capacity for the Sixth Avenue Elementary School has been updated to reflect 50 percent of the total capacity of this school to be counted towards sub-district 2.

Harry Johnson, our Circulation Manager, retired after more than 25 years on the job. Associate Professor Patricia Woodard, who had served in many capabilities but most importantly as our liaison to Music, Romance Languages, German and the Department of Accessibility, retired in early April. And Assistant Professor Jonathan Cain left at the end of the year to take a position at the University of Oregon. They will all be sorely missed. We were, however, finally able to appoint two permanent positions that had been vacant for several years.
