My name is Amanda Burden and I am Chair of the New York City Planning Commission. VOICES: Louder. Louder. THE CHAIR: Let me try it again. We want to make sure everything goes really well. Okay. Can you hear me a little better? A VOICE: Yes. THE CHAIR: Okay. My name is Amanda Burden and I am the Chair of the New York City Planning Commission. And I want to first start this morning by thanking Lisa Wager, who is the Director of Government and Community Affairs here at FIT. And she is just going to say a few words before we actually begin the proceeding. Ms. Wager. MS. WAGER: Thank you. Well, the thanks should really go to our President, Dr. Joyce F. Brown, who is the one who has opened up the college to host the many Hudson Yards hearings that many of you have come to. _________________________________________________ ROY ALLEN & ASSOCIATES, INC. 521 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10175 (212) 840-1167 7 1 So I just wanted to welcome most of you back yet again to FIT and say that we're really proud to be able to step up and serve as the town hall in our community and be able to provide the space for these important public functions. Thank you. And good luck. (Applause.) THE CHAIR: Okay. Let's start. I want to welcome you all here today to this public hearing on the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Program and No. 7 Subway Extension. I want to speak for just a few moments about what will be happening here today. What I am about to say is rather technical so bear with me, but it is important to set forth these issues for the record. Today's hearing is being conducted for two purposes. First, it is a public hearing conducted pursuant to the City's Uniform Land Use Review Procedure, or ULURP, to receive public comment with respect to several ULURP applications related to the redevelopment program. _________________________________________________ ROY ALLEN & ASSOCIATES, INC. 521 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10175 (212) 840-1167 8 1 These include: Applications to amend the City Zoning Map and the Text of the City Zoning Resolution; To amend the City Map with respect to the creation of new streets and parks; To establish new City facilities consisting of a municipal public parking garage and a multi-agency garage facility; And to authorize various acquisitions and dispositions of property related to implementation of the Hudson Yards Plan. The applications being heard today include both those certified by City Planning on June 21, 2004, as well as those modified applications filed by the Department and calendared for hearing on September 8, 2004, what we call the ATEXT. The ULURP applications and the Land Use and Urban Design Plan they are designed to implement have been the subject of over a hundred presentations and discussions with community groups, civic organizations, elected officials, professional societies of architects, planners and engineers, business groups and others over the past two-and-a- _________________________________________________ ROY ALLEN & ASSOCIATES, INC. 521 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10175 (212) 840-1167 9 1 half years. I will not describe the applications or the plan again today because the purpose of the hearing is not for us to present but for you to comment. I do want to way, however, how excited I am that we have reached this important milestone for this project that is so essential to the future of the City of New York. I also want to thank all those who have contributed to the development of the plan through their comments, insights and other input. Secondly, today's public hearing is being conducted pursuant to the requirements of the State Environmental Quality Review Act, or SEQRA, and the City Environmental Quality Review Act, or CQRA, in order to receive public comment with respect to the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement or DGEIS, prepared by the City Planning Commission and the MTA as co-lead agencies for the redevelopment program. For that purpose the SEQRA/the CQRA hearing is being conducted jointly by the City Planning Commission and the MTA, which is represented _________________________________________________ ROY ALLEN & ASSOCIATES, INC. 521 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10175 (212) 840-1167 10 1 by William Wheeler, Director -- all the way down there -- of Special Project Development and Planning for the MTA. As you may know, the DGEIS analyzes all aspects of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Program including the zoning and other land use related actions subject to City approval, the No. 7 subway line extension and the proposed expansion of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and the proposed construction of the New York Sports and Convention Center. As the name indicates, the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement is a draft. The purpose of today's hearing as it relates to this draft is to hear your comments and concerns so that the co-lead agencies - the City Planning Commission and the MTA - can consider and respond to the comments in the preparation of a Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement. Insofar as the Javits Center expansion and the New York Sports and Convention Center are concerned, it is important to keep in mind that today's hearing is focused on consideration of _________________________________________________ ROY ALLEN & ASSOCIATES, INC. 521 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10175

  • Abstract a Case Study of Cross-Ownership Waivers
    ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY OF CROSS-OWNERSHIP WAIVERS: FRAMING NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF RUPERT MURDOCH’S REQUESTS TO KEEP THE NEW YORK POST by Rachel L. Seeman Media ownership is an important regulatory issue that is enforced by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC, Congress, court and public interest groups share varying viewpoints concerning what the ownership limits should be and whether companies should be granted a waiver to be excused from the rules. News Corporation is one media firm that has a history of seeking these waivers, particularly for the New York Post and television stations in same community. This study conducted a qualitative framing analysis of news articles from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal to determine if the viewpoints expressed by the editorial boards were reflected in reports on News Corp.’s attempt to receive cross-ownership waivers. The analysis uncovered ten frames the newspapers used to assist in reporting the events and found that 80% of these frames did parallel the positions the paper’s editorial boards took concerning ownership waivers.

  • When Victims Rule
    1 24 JEWISH INFLUENCE IN THE MASS MEDIA, Part II In 1985 Laurence Tisch, Chairman of the Board of New York University, former President of the Greater New York United Jewish Appeal, an active supporter of Israel, and a man of many other roles, started buying stock in the CBStelevision network through his company, the Loews Corporation. The Tisch family, worth an estimated 4 billion dollars, has major interests in hotels, an insurance company, Bulova, movie theatres, and Loliards, the nation's fourth largest tobacco company (Kent, Newport, True cigarettes). Brother Andrew Tisch has served as a Vice-President for the UJA-Federation, and as a member of the United Jewish Appeal national youth leadership cabinet, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Israel Political Action Committee, among other Jewish organizations. By September of 1986 Tisch's company owned 25% of the stock of CBS and he became the company's president. And Tisch -- now the most powerful man at CBS -- had strong feelings about television, Jews, and Israel. The CBS news department began to live in fear of being compromised by their boss -- overtly, or, more likely, by intimidation towards self-censorship -- concerning these issues. "There have been rumors in New York for years," says J. J. Goldberg, "that Tisch took over CBS in 1986 at least partly out of a desire to do something about media bias against Israel." [GOLDBERG, p. 297] The powerful President of a major American television network dare not publicize his own active bias in favor of another country, of course. That would look bad, going against the grain of the democratic traditions, free speech, and a presumed "fair" mass media.

  • Mayor Remarks at Zoning the City Conference, As
    About Us > Press Releases FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 15, 2011 CONTACT: Rachaele Raynoff / Jovana Rizzo (City Planning) – (212) 720-3471 Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Remarks at Zoning the City Conference, as Delivered By Deputy Mayor Robert K. Steel I think that the Mayor would want to tell you that when he thought about this ten years ago, that basically people weren’t sure about the position of New York. It was ten years ago that Amanda Burden joined the administration, when New York City was still reeling after the 9/11 attacks. And basically what we’ve seen is at that time people thought all over that New York might never recover. And in fact Mayor Bloomberg said at the time that he would rather have New York’s hand to play than anyone else’s. And some people thought he was boastful, but I’d like to say I think instead he’s proven to be prescient. And a good person who was side by side with the Mayor throughout all of this was Amanda Burden and the City Planning group. Many people have seen that New York has not only survived but really prospered, and the evidence is all around you. The commercial real estate market in New York is the strongest in the nation. We’ve regained 90% of the jobs lost during the national recession. And people are voting for New York – with their feet. We see people want to live, work and visit in New York and the evidence is all around us. The population today is at an all-time high of 8.4 million – and we see and are beginning to plan for another million people moving to New York by 2035.

BENFATTO, JR., ESQ. District Manager October 5, 2006 Amanda Burden, Chair City Planning Commission 22 Reade Street, Room 2E New York, NY 10007 Re: ULURP No. N060103 ZRY : West 61st Street Rezoning Project – Citywide General Large Scale Development and Text Amendment allowing waiver of open space and height factor requirements in certain large scale developments. Dear Chair Burden: At the recommendation of its Clinton/Hell’s Kitchen Land Use Committee, Manhattan Community Board No. 4, voted to recommend that the proposed text amendment to Section 74-743 that would allow by special permit, in General Large Scale Developments located partially in C6-1, C6-2, or C6-3 districts, the maximum floor area ratio permitted pursuant to Section 23-142 of the Zoning Resolution without regard for height factor and open space development, apply only to the specific project site on West 61st Street in Community District 7 or that at a minimum special districts be excluded. The vote was unanimous. Since the proposed project site is not in our district, we make no comment on the specifics of the development proposal, including the waiver of “height factor” and “open space ratio” requirements for this specific site. What we question is the need to expand the waiver into future sites, especially special districts. We understand the proposed text amendment would only apply to general large-scale developments, which requires the availability of a 1.5 acre site.

Where are we in 2016, versus 1996? — Mary Rowe, August 9 Sharing The City: Learning from the New York City Public Space Movement 1990–2015 4 WHY THIS INQUIRY? This inquiry is, at heart, an invitation to question. We begin with the premise that in the little over 20 years that have elapsed since we founded the Design Trust, something of a “public space movement” has taken hold. The value of New York City’s public built environment to urban life has become almost universally acknowledged across sectors and disciplines: design, public service, social and urban planning, real estate development, and more. It certainly was not always so. Twenty years ago, “public” was not a word that one associated with either space or design. Then, as now, New York’s public sector was full of talented designers, planners and policy makers who were drawn to the great possibilities of designing the city’s libraries, esplanades and parks. But the agenda was not supported. The Design Trust was founded to effectively provide that support, and has helped to spur a movement that has unlocked the potential embedded in public sector space design, and elicit a reframing of design thinking that has made New York a proving ground in the creation of great urban space.
