Chair Louis details zoning actions and recommended modifications for Dewitt Clinton Park North
Chair Louis outlines the zoning map amendments, text amendments for mandatory inclusionary housing, special permits for floor area transfer, and recommended modifications including removal of the street wall waiver and reducing building height from 550 to 520 feet.
The 11th Avenue site is requesting a zoning map amendment to change the existing manufacturing M2-3 zoning district to a commercial
C4-district, which has a residential equivalent of a R10 district.
The 12th Avenue site is also requesting a zoning map amendment to change the existing manufacturing M2-4 zoning district to a commercial C4-7 district.
Second, a zoning tax amendment would map a mandatory inclusionary housing area on both sites, as well as an update.
The special Hudson River Park District rules to reflect the new granting and receiving sites for a floor area transfer from Hudson River Park
and clarify the affordable, automated-related use provisions for C4-7 districts, as well as applicable bulk rules and the app.
Applicability of the special Clinton district regulations.
The third action, again, applicable to both
is a special permit to allow the transfer of a development right from Hudson River Park to the development sites and to provide bulk waivers to facilitate the proposed design of the mixed-use buildings.
We are recommending the following modifications.
The removal of the street wall location waiver granted by CPC for the 11th Avenue site, which will provide a more consistent streetscape along 11th Avenue.
For the 12th Avenue site, the modification is to reduce the building height from the CPC approved 550 feet to a maximum of 520 feet.
Consistent with the intent of having the height of buildings decreased from 11th and 12th Avenue in order to create less of a barrier along the waterfront.
Councilmember Brewer supports these applications as modified.
I now recognize Councilmember Brewer for a statement.
