    City Island housing development heads to Council

    Rezoning/Special Permit  •  City Island, Bronx

    Despite height concerns,Commission approves City Island residential development abutting eastern shore of Long Island Sound. On September 9, 2009, the City Planning Commission approved City Island Estates’ proposal to build a new residential development abutting the eastern shore of Long Island Sound at 226 Fordham Place on City Island. The 43-unit project includes 21 two-family side-by-side detached residences and one single-family detached home. The only current activity on the lot is a marine salvage and small repair business.

    To facilitate the project, the developer applied for a waiver of the Special City Island District’s 35-foot height requirement in order to build 17 of the 21 two-family homes up to 41.5 feet in height. The developer also proposed rezoning the site and an adjacent lot from M1-1 to R3A. (read more…)
