While Arrow Linen’s rezoning application was being reviewed by the Department of City Planning (DCP), the Adams administration was busy pushing the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity which purports to provide “a little more housing in every neighborhood.” If and when passed, this initiative will increase zoing across the board in NYC between 20% and 60%. Rezoning applications currently under review had to amend their applications to show the effect that passing this initiative will have on their application.
On their first pass, Arrow Linen’s owners updated their application to show that the 13 stories they’ve applied to build could be as much as 15 stories after City of Yes for Housing Opportunity. But at about the time their application entered the ULURP process, we latest amended filing for Arrow Linen’s application now shows that their 13 story application could be as high as 19 stories after City of Yes for Housing Opportunity. This means that the buildings could be 250 feet tall.
