DEPT. OF CITY PLANNING TO STUDY SUNSET PARK HEIGHT LILMIT

This from New York 1:

            
            
            
            Sunset Park residents have gotten some good news from the city in their quest to re-zone the neighborhood.

The Department of City Planning has agreed to study 125 blocks in the area to bring the height limits on buildings down.

Residents say developers are trying to build structures that are out of context with the neighborhood.

As NY1 first reported last month, residents formed a coalition called SPAN for the Sunset Park
Alliance of Neighbors to keep all new development in character with the area’s low-rise buildings.

The city says it’ll put the study on the fast track and should have its findings by year’s end.
