  • Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes existing land use, zoning, and public policies applicable to the proposed project and evaluates potential significant adverse effects that may result from implementation of the proposed flood protection system. Potential significant adverse effects to land use as a result of implementing the flood protection system are also evaluated. Potential land use issues include known or likely changes in current land uses within the study area, as well as the proposed project’s potential effect on existing and future land use patterns. Potential zoning and public policy issues include the compatibility of the proposed project with existing zoning and consistency with existing applicable public policies. PROJECT AREA ONE Project Area One extends from Montgomery Street on the south to the north end of John V. Lindsay East River Park (East River Park) at about East 13th Street. Project Area One consists primarily of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt East River Drive (FDR Drive) right-of-way, a portion of Pier 42 and Corlears Hook Park as well as East River Park. The majority of Project Area One is within East River Park and includes four existing pedestrian bridges across the FDR Drive to East River Park (Corlears Hook, Delancey Street, East 6th Street, and East 10th Street Bridges) and the East Houston Street overpass. Project Area One is located within Manhattan Community District 3, and borders portions of the Lower East Side and East Village neighborhoods. PROJECT AREA TWO Project Area Two extends north and east from Project Area One, from East 13th Street to East 25th Street.

  • Chapter 5.10 – Neighborhood Character
    Chapter 5.10: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the effects of the proposed project on neighborhood character. As defined in the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, neighborhood character is an amalgam of various elements that give neighborhoods their distinct “personality.” These elements may include a neighborhood’s land use, socioeconomic conditions, open space, historic and cultural resources, urban design and visual resources, shadows, transportation, and/or noise. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, neighborhood character effects are rare, and it would be under unusual circumstances that, in the absence of an effect in any of the relevant technical areas, a combination of moderate effects to the neighborhood would result in an effect to neighborhood character. Moreover, a significant effect identified in one of the technical areas that contributes to a neighborhood’s character is not automatically equivalent to a significant effect on neighborhood character. Rather, it serves as an indication that neighborhood character may be significantly affected. This examination focuses on whether a defining feature of the neighborhood’s character may be significantly affected by the proposed project. Since many of the relevant components of neighborhood character are considered in other sections of this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), this chapter has been coordinated with those analyses. STUDY AREA The neighborhood character study area (study area) mirrors the study area used for the socioeconomic analysis, shown on Figure 5.2-1. The northern boundary of the study area is East 34th Street between First Avenue and the East River. The western boundary of the study area is First Avenue between East 29th and East 34th Streets; Third Avenue between East 3rd and East 29th Streets; and Allen, Clinton, Norfolk, Essex, and Pike Streets between East 3rd Street and South Street.
