M1 Hotel Text Amendment
- The Department of City Planning (DCP) is proposing a city-wide zoning text amendment to establish a new special permitfor hotels in M1 districts. If passed, this amendment would require a special permit for hotels in M1 districts, except in MX and M1/R, that are currently as-of-right. Presented last month, City Planning will return to answer additional questions.
And, speaking of hotels, there is illuminating new research on NYC Tourism and other industries from the Center for the Urban Future..."tourism has been elevated from a fairly important part of the city’s economy to one of the four leading drivers of job creation in New York. Indeed, tourism now accounts for about as many jobs as the city’s tech sector, the creative economy, or the finance industry."
Thurs., 6/21 @ 6:30 PM- P.S. 41 Greenwich Village Elementary School, Auditorium, 116 W. 11th St.FULL BOARD, Terri Cude, Chair. THE PUBLIC SESSION BEGINS AT 6:30 PM. SPEAKER’S CARDS WILL BE NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER 7:00 PM.
May Wrap-Up:
- 292 Elizabeth St., Torishiki Restaurant - Replacing the former Siggy's at this address, there was an application for a destination high-end reservations-only Japanese Yakitori Restaurant proposing a 1:00AM closing. NoHo and contiguous neighbors opposed the application for its intrusion on an unusually narrow and highly residential street. The Community Board agreed.
- Merchants House Museum vs. 27 East 4th Street - Therefore, CB2 recommends denial of the application for a text change and two special permits to facilitate the application for bulk and use changes under 74-712 unless and until the proposed development is modified so as to avoid all harm to the Merchant’s House Museum as evidenced by support of the Museum board and the New York City Parks Department. There are three more stops, however: Manhattan Borough President — by June 25; City Planning Commission — by August 25; Final Decision: City Council — by September 25. Here's how you can help.
Other Things
- 363 Lafayette St. will not be the future home of The Groucho Club. Because the plan has taken so long to materialize, 363 Lafayettte has leased those floors to office tenants, instead. We are assuming the plans for a Lafayette St. entrance to the upper floors has also been set-aside, and while an office tenant may have access to the seventh floor terrace, there will be no liquor license attached.
- The onorous Landmarks Preservation Commission proposal has been defeated. A jubilent Andrew Berman at GVSHP reports on the restoration of more thorough oversite and fewer staff-level approvals for appropriateness.
But, it's not over yet, there's the matter of the replacement of former Chair Srinivasan. Read the coverage from Human Scale NYC ..."current LPC Commissioner Fred Bland, a partner in the huge architectural firm of Beyer, Blinder and Belle - and widely regarded as Srinivasan 2.0 in terms of his voting and commentary at hearings - has been appointed by Mayor de Blasio as interim vice chair.
