360 Smith Gets a Date for Hearing to Decide Its Fate

September 5th, 2008 · No Comments

The 360 Smith development, which was stopped in tracks by the “narrow streets” Zoning Text Amendment that limited the height of buildings on “place streets” has a date before the agency that will decide its fate. Developer Billy Stein will take his case to the Board of Standards and Appeals on September 24 at 10AM. Members of the public can speak at the hearing, which will be held at 40 Rector Street on the Ninth Floor. The Community Board 6 Land Use Committee cast a unanimous advisory vote last week against the application to allow the developer to build to 70 feet rather than the 55 feet allowed under zoning. The BSA generally approves more developer applications in such cases than it rejects.
