On December 3, 2002, the Department of City Planning certified the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) application for the proposed zoning amendments.

Manhattan's Community Board 2 voted to approve the zoning proposal for the southern rezoning area on March 20, 2003 by a vote of 38 in favor, 0 opposed and 0 abstaining. For the northern rezoning area the Community Board voted to disapprove the zoning proposal by a vote of 21 in favor, 15 opposed and 0 abstaining. The Manhattan Borough President recommended approval of the southern rezoning area and disapproval of the northern rezoning area. The City Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 7, 2003 and voted to approve the proposal on June 18, 2003.

On July 29, City Council proposed a modification to the proposal by removing the northern rezoning area – the area generally bounded by Clarkson, Leroy, West, Morton, Barrow, and Hudson streets – from the rezoning area. City Council adopted the proposal as modified on August 19. The revised zoning is now in effect.
