Q&A

Council Member Marte asks to separate 30 FAR text amendment from 100 Gold

New York City Council · Oct 21, 2026 · starts 0:41:48 · 1 min 12 sec

He asks that the text amendment be a separate application; Edith Su Chen says any future 30 FAR application would require separate rezoning and notes a scoping hearing on October 29.

Christopher Marte

And I would ask that you just do it as a separate application.

Christopher Marte

There's going to be a lot of stakeholders that aren't aware that you're even mapping a 30 FAR in their neighborhood.

Christopher Marte

And I feel like that's really disrespectful to our community.

Dan Garodnick

I understand, Council Member.

Dan Garodnick

And my colleague, Edith Su Chen, also may be able to provide more detail.

Edith Su Chen

Yes, sure.

Edith Su Chen

Any future application of a 30 FAR would have to go through a separate rezoning before this body, before city council.

Edith Su Chen

And then with respect to where we are in the public process for 100 gold, a scoping hearing will be held on the 29th, October 29th, very soon.

Christopher Marte

I completely understand that, but any future rezoning can be a spot rezoning, right?

Christopher Marte

It doesn't have to take that adverse impact that allowing a mapping of a whole district that even includes this.

Christopher Marte

building and includes parts of the seaport parts of lower Fidei, I think is a way to get away from actually

Christopher Marte

thinking about what are some of the worst case scenario and how it's going to have adverse impact to our community, to our commercial businesses and to our infrastructure.
