Chelsea
Rezoning Becomes Effective
On September 9, 1999, the City Council approved the Department's
rezoning application for the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.
The rezoning maps thirty-four new or expanded zoning districts
covering more than sixty blocks. The rezoning is intended
to preserve the built character of the Chelsea neighborhood
while providing new opportunities for housing development.
The application numbers were N 990452 ZRM and C 990453
ZMM. The City Planning Commission had previously approved
the rezoning on July 21, 1999.
The changes implement the Manhattan Community Board
4 - sponsored plan for the area as approved by the City
Planning Commission and the City Council in 1996. Community
Board 4 had developed the plan in consultation with
the Department under the provisions of Section 197-a
of the City Charter. See the March
15, 1999 Department of City Planning press release for more details on the rezoning action.
