AN ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL ZONING BONUSES FOR OUTERBOROUGH AND NON-CBD MANHATTAN LOCATIONS

This report details New York City's zoning resolution which presently contains several mechanisms aimed at promoting a more attractive and efficient subway environment. These provisions have encouraged private sector participation in the renovation and reconfiguration of subway stations, often as part of a package resulting in additional floor area for the developer. The existing zoning bonus program is largely limited to subway improvements in Manhattan. The overall goal of this study was to examine the feasibility of extending the existing provisions to include other areas and other modes of public transportation.
