Department of City Planning is proposing a Citywide Waterfront Text Amendment to the zoning resolution which will primarily modify design regulations for public access areas to waterfront properties. The proposed changes will generally apply to new residential and commercial developments on waterfront lots in medium and high density zoning districts, and to commercial and community facility developments on waterfront lots in lower density residential and manufacturing districts.  (N090239  ZRY) The purpose of the text amendment is to improve the quality of waterfront public access areas and allow for greater design flexibility. This proposal will ensure the development of inviting spaces on waterfront properties that are accessible to the public, thereby improving everyone’s enjoyment of the waterfront.
