    The approved proposal would remove Brooklyn Community District 10 from applicability under Section 73-622, while allowing three applications to go forward.

These special permits allow property owners in R2 zoning districts to enlarge family residences beyond what is otherwise prohibited by the Zoning Resolution. Currently, Section 73-622 only applies to four of the fifty-nine Community Districts in New York City. For CityLand’s past coverage on the application, click here and here. (read more…)
