Chair Sherman responds to concerns about 100 Gold and 30 FAR
He acknowledges concerns, says lifting FAR cap creates new opportunities, 100 Gold is a tremendous opportunity for affordable housing, and they will follow up on the text amendment status.
So I can jump in there and thank you, Councilmember.
And I know I recognize your concerns.
Obviously, with the lifting of the FAR cap, it is certainly creating a new Manhattan skyline, a new city skyline, right, creating an opportunity to build in ways that we haven't before to really meet our housing crisis.
There's a really tremendous opportunity at 100 Gold to create affordable housing.
in a neighborhood that, as you know, is very well connected to transit and other resources.
I think we certainly take your note regarding the text amendment and the actual action, both of which would require public review.
I don't have before me actually where the status of both of those.
I don't know if we have that, but we can certainly follow up with you on that.
But we want to make sure that as that project moves forward or any project, right, in a future RF,
12, 30, any future district, particularly as we start to see these new districts emerge, that we're completing a study and we're understanding the community needs.
