Presentation and review of the Department of City Planning’s Zone Green Text Amendment (ULURP #N 120132 ZRY), an application which seeks to revise the City’s Zoning Resolution to remove impediments to the construction and retrofitting of greener buildings.
The Zone Green Text Amendment presentation was made by Aline Fader and Steven Lenard from the New York City Department of City Planning.
The goal is to remove impediments to meeting green standards without losing floor area or exceeding maximum height and setback requirements (and only within property lines).
Jerry Armer made a motion of conditional approval of Zone A1 with condition that greenhouses be reviewed by the Community Board and ULURP. The motion was seconded by Bill Blum.
Robert Levine proposed an amendment. A2 – Extension of façade in historic districts and contextual must be reviewed by the Community Board and the Landmarks Preservation Commission. A3 – Compressor units in LPC or contextual historic districts be subject to Community Board and LPC review.
Unanimous approval of the question
