Chapter 3

Special Hudson Yards District

93-00

GENERAL PURPOSES

The “Special Hudson Yards District” established in this Resolution is designed to promote and

protect public health, safety and general welfare. These general goals include, among others, the

following specific purposes:

(a) to facilitate and guide the development of an environmentally beneficial, transit-oriented

business and residence district by coordinating high density development with expanded

mass transit facilities, extended and improved subway lines, improved pedestrian access to

mass transit facilities, improved pedestrian circulation and avoidance of conflicts with

vehicular traffic;

(b) to control the impact of buildings on the access of light and air to the streets and avenues

of the Hudson Yards area and the surrounding neighborhoods;

3

(c) to provide an open space network comprised of public parks, public open space and public

access areas through the establishment of a large-scale plan and other controls and

incentives;

(d) to preserve the pedestrian orientation of ground floor uses, and thus safeguard a traditional

quality of the City;

(e) to preserve the low- and medium-scale residential character of the Hell’s Kitchen area;

(f) to provide a transition between the Hudson Yards District and the Clinton community to

the north;

(g) to provide a transition between the Hudson Yards District and the Garment Center to the

east;

(h) to provide a transition between the Hudson Yards District and the West Chelsea area to the

south;

(i) to promote the use of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center to the west by creating an

active and attractive business district that facilitates pedestrian access to the Center;

(j) to provide flexibility of architectural design within limits established to assure adequate

access of light and air to the street, and thus to encourage more attractive and economic

building forms;

(k) to provide a transition between the Hudson Yards District and the Hudson River to the

west;

(l) to facilitate the restoration and reuse of the High Line elevated rail line as an accessible,

public open space through special height and setback regulations;

(m) to promote the most desirable use of land and building development in accordance with the

District Plan for the Hudson Yards and thus conserve the value of land and buildings and

thereby protect the City’s tax revenues; and

(n) to limit the amount of off-street parking based on regulations that address the anticipated

needs of residents, workers and visitors to the Hudson Yards Area, consistent with the

objective of creating an area with a transit- and pedestrian-oriented neighborhood

character.

In the #Phase 2 Hudson Boulevard and Park#, no #development# shall be permitted and, except

as provided in Section 93-051 (Applicability of Article I, Chapter 1), no #building# shall be

#enlarged#. However, #floor area# from a granting site within the #Phase 2 Hudson Boulevard

and Park# may be transferred to a receiving site in accordance with the provisions of paragraph

(a) of this Section.

For the purposes of this Section, a “granting site” shall mean a #zoning lot#, or portion thereof,

within the #Phase 2 Hudson Boulevard and Park# and the #lot area# of such granting site shall

include any area on such site designated on the City Map as Hudson Boulevard or #public park#,

and a “receiving site” shall mean a #zoning lot#, or portion thereof, within Subareas A2 through

A5 of the Large-Scale Plan Subdistrict A or Subareas D1 or D2 of Hell’s Kitchen Subdistrict D,

to which #floor area# from a granting site has been transferred.

Special regulations for certain #zoning lots# partially within the #Phase 2 Hudson Boulevard and

Park# are set forth in Section 93-33.

(a) Transfer of floor area by certification

The Chairperson of the City Planning Commission shall allow, by certification, the

applicable basic maximum #floor area ratio# of a receiving site to be increased up to the

maximum amount specified in Section 93-21 or 93-22, as applicable, through the transfer

of #floor area# from a granting site, provided that:

(1) the maximum amount of #floor area# transferred from a granting site shall not

exceed the #floor area ratio# permitted on the granting site, as listed below, less

any existing #floor area# to remain on the granting site:

District

Maximum

#floor area ratio#

C2-8 7.5

C6-2 6.02

C6-4 10.0

M1-5 5.0

5

(2) each transfer, once completed, irrevocably reduces the amount of #floor area# that

may be transferred from the granting site by the amount of #floor area# transferred;

(3) the maximum amount of #floor area# transferred to a receiving site shall be based

on an amount not to exceed the #floor area ratio# permitted on a #zoning lot#

through such transfer pursuant to Section 93-21 or 93-22, as applicable. In the event

a granting site generates more #floor area# than is permitted on a receiving site, the

Chairperson shall certify that such excess #floor area# be credited towards future

#floor area# transfers pursuant to this Section; and.

(4) where all #floor area# shall be transferred from a granting site pursuant to one or

more such certifications, all certificates of occupancy have been surrendered for

such granting site, all structures on such granting site have been demolished, and

such granting site has been conveyed to the City for improvement, where

applicable, as a #public park# or #street#, as provided for on the City Map.

Where, as a result of the transfer of #floor area# pursuant to this paragraph (a), the amount

of #floor area# on a receiving site is less than the maximum allowable as specified for the

applicable subarea in Row B in the table in Section 93-21 and Row C in the table in Section

93-22, any additional #floor area#, up to the maximum #floor area ratio# permitted on the

receiving site as specified in such rows, may be achieved only through contributions to the

#Hudson Yards District Improvement Fund# pursuant to Section 93-31 (District

Improvement Fund Bonus), an increase in #floor area# pursuant to paragraph (b) of this

Section or Section 93-33 (Special Regulations for Residual Portions of Zoning Lots

Partially Within the Phase 2 Hudson Boulevard and Park), or the Inclusionary Housing

Program pursuant to Section 23-154, as modified by Section 93-23.

An application filed with the Chairperson for the transfer of #floor area# pursuant to this

paragraph (a) shall be made jointly by the owners of the granting site and receiving site,

and shall include a site plan and #floor area# zoning calculations for the granting site and

the receiving site, and a copy of the transfer instrument legally sufficient in both form and

content to effect such a transfer, together with notice of the restrictions upon further

development of the granting site and the receiving site.

Notices of restrictions shall be filed by the owners of the granting site and receiving site in

the Borough Office of the Register of the City of New York, indexed against the granting

site and the receiving site, a certified copy of which shall be submitted to the Chairperson

of the Commission. Receipt of certified copies thereof shall be a pre-condition to issuance

of any building permit, including any foundation or alteration permit, for any

#development# or #enlargement# on the receiving site which incorporates #floor area#

transferred pursuant to this paragraph (a).

(b) Authorization for contribution-in-kind

The City Planning Commission may authorize a contribution-in-kind to the #Hudson Yards

District Improvement Fund# for a receiving site, provided that:

(1) the conditions for transferring #floor area# set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section

have been met as of the date of the authorization or will be met in accordance with

agreements or instruments entered into pursuant to paragraph (b)(3) of this Section;

(2) the granting site will be improved, at the applicant’s expense, as a #public park# or

#street#, as provided for on the City Map, prior to conveyance to the City; and

(3) the applicant, or an affiliate of such applicant, has entered into an agreement or

provided instruments in a form satisfactory to the City, providing for the

improvement of the granting site as a #public park# or #street# pursuant to an

agreed-upon construction schedule. The construction schedule may be adjusted

from time to time in accordance with the provisions of such agreement or

instruments and shall include progress milestones, including the date by which the

improvements will be 50 percent complete, and a date by which the improvements

will be substantially complete and usable by the public. In the event that the

conditions for transferring #floor area# set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section

have not been completed as of the date of this authorization, such agreement or

instruments shall also provide that such conditions will be met, to the extent

applicable, pursuant to an agreed-upon schedule.

In order to grant such authorization, the Commission shall find that the #public park# or

#street# has been designed in accordance with the approved plan for the Hudson Boulevard

and Park, or as an appropriate interim design, in consultation with the Department of Parks

and Recreation or Department of Transportation.

included as part of paragraph (b).]

The amount of increased #floor area# generated by the contribution-in-kind shall be as

determined by the Commission, which The Commission shall determine the reasonable

cost of such improvement, including any acquisition and site preparation costs, and shall

permit a #floor area# bonus in relation thereto divide this reasonable cost by the

contribution amount per square foot of the District Improvement Bonus, as determined

pursuant to Section 93-31, and in effect on the date of authorization of the contribution-in-

kind pursuant to this paragraph (b), in order to determine the amount of increased #floor

area# generated by the contribution-in-kind. In making such determination, the

Commission may consult with an appraiser or engineer at the applicant’s expense. In the

event the contribution-in-kind results in an amount of #floor area# in excess of what is

7

permitted on the receiving site, the Commission shall authorize that such excess #floor

area# be credited towards future #floor area# increases pursuant to Section 93-31.

The owner of the receiving site shall not apply for or accept a temporary certificate of

occupancy for that portion of the #development# or #enlargement# identified as utilizing

the increased #floor area# permitted pursuant to this paragraph (b), and the Department of

Buildings shall not issue a temporary certificate of occupancy for such portion until the

Chairperson has certified that the improvements are substantially complete and usable by

the public. The owner shall not apply for or accept a permanent certificate of occupancy

for such portion of the #development# or #enlargement# nor shall the Department of

Buildings issue a permanent certificate of occupancy for such portion until the

improvements have been finally completed in accordance with the approved plans and such

final completion has been certified by the Chairperson. A restrictive declaration in a form

acceptable to the Chairperson shall be recorded against the receiving site in the Office of

the Register of the City of New York in order to implement such restrictions.

An application filed with the Chairperson of the Commission for the transfer of #floor

area# contribution-in-kind pursuant to this Section paragraph (b) shall be made jointly by

the owners or contract vendees of the granting site and receiving site and shall, in all

instances, include the party responsible either directly or through its affiliate, for the

improvement of the granting site as a #public park# or #street# pursuant to the agreement

or instruments entered into pursuant to paragraph (b)(3) of this Section. a site plan and

#floor area# zoning calculations for the granting site and the receiving site, and a copy of

the transfer instrument legally sufficient in both form and content to effect such a transfer,

together with notice of the restrictions upon further development of the granting site and

the receiving site.

Notice of restrictions shall be filed by the owners of the respective sites in the Borough

Office of the Register of the City of New York, indexed against the granting site and the

receiving site, a certified copy of which shall be submitted to the Chairperson of the

Commission. Receipt of certified executed copies thereof shall be a pre-condition of the

agreement or instruments required pursuant to paragraph (b)(3) of this Section, and of

copies of the recorded restrictive declaration, shall be a precondition to the issuance of any

a building permit, including any foundation or alteration permit, for any #development# or

#enlargement# on the receiving site that incorporates a #floor area# bonus granted pursuant

to this paragraph (b).

In no event shall a building permit for a #development# or #enlargement# utilizing a #floor

area# increase pursuant to this paragraph (b) be granted for the receiving site until the

Chairperson provides notice to the Commissioner of Buildings that the applicant, or

affiliate responsible for the improvement of the granting site, has provided acceptable

evidence of site control for purposes of construction of the improvement.

West 30th Streets, Route 9A/Twelfth Avenue and Eleventh Avenue. The proposed actions

include a zoning text amendment to Article VIII Chapter 9 of the Zoning Resolution (Special

Hudson River Park District), an amendment to Appendix F of the Zoning Resolution to map

a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) area, and special permits (and subsequent Chair

Certifications) pursuant to Section 89-21 of the Special Hudson River Park District. The

applicant is also seeking a zoning map amendment to rezone the affected area from an M2-

NOTICE

On Wednesday, March 14, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., at 120 Broadway, Lower Concourse, in Lower

Manhattan, a public hearing is being held by the City Planning Commission in conjunction

with the above-referenced ULURP hearing. The public hearing is being held to receive

comments related to a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) concerning an

application by West 30th Street LLC (ULURP Nos. 180150 ZMM, N180151 ZRM and

180152 ZSM) requesting discretionary actions to facilitate the redevelopment of a project

site in the West Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan Community District 4. The project site

is located at 606 West 30th Street (Block 675, Lot 39), which is bounded by West 29th and

West 30th Streets, Route 9A/Twelfth Avenue and Eleventh Avenue. The proposed actions

include a zoning text amendment to Article VIII Chapter 9 of the Zoning Resolution (Special

Hudson River Park District), an amendment to Appendix F of the Zoning Resolution to map

a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) area, and special permits (and subsequent Chair

Certifications) pursuant to Section 89-21 of the Special Hudson River Park District. The

applicant is also seeking a zoning map amendment to rezone the affected area from an M2-

3 manufacturing district to a C6-4X commercial district. The proposed actions would

facilitate a proposal by the applicant to develop a mixed-use residential and commercial

building.

The public hearing will also consider a modified applications proposed by the applicant

(ULURP Nos. N 180151(A) ZRM and C 180152(A) ZSM).

Written comments on the DEIS are requested and will be received and considered by the

Department of City Planning, the Lead Agency, until Monday, March 26, 2018, at 5:00 p.m.

This hearing is being held pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act

(SEQRA) and City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR), CEQR No. 17DCP159M.

referenced application, an application by DD West 29th LLC (ULURP Nos. 180127 ZMM, N180128 ZRM and 180129 ZSM). These two land use applications are being considered as part of a single environmental review due to the adjacency of the proposed projects, similarity of land use actions being proposed, and concurrent development schedules of the projects.
