St. George Panorama

On April 10, 2008, the Department of City Planning (DCP) presented its proposal for a St. George Special District at the St. George Theater on Staten Island. DCP, working with a broad spectrum of community stakeholders, neighborhood residents and local elected officials has developed a comprehensive planning and rezoning strategy to foster and frame future development in St. George, the transit hub and civic center of Staten Island. The proposal has the following goals:
	to build upon St. George’s existing strengths as a civic center, neighborhood and transit hub by providing rules that will bolster a thriving, pedestrian-friendly, business and residence district to establish zoning regulations that facilitate continuous ground floor retail and the critical mass needed to attract a broader mix of uses; to require a tall, slender, building form that reflects its hillside topography and maintains waterfront vistas; to encourage the reinvestment and reuse of vacant office buildings. to accommodate an appropriate level of off-street parking while reducing its visual impact
The department has committed to additional meetings with neighborhood civics, business groups and Community Board 1 to present and discuss this proposal in order to ensure public awareness and respond to questions and concerns.
