Projects, Studies and Proposals

Active Studies & Proposals:

	Going to Market: New York City’s Neighborhood Grocery Store and Supermarket Shortage: A Citywide assessment of supermarket access at the neighborhood level. A Supermarket Access Index was created to evaluate key health and economic development factors that are interrelated to residents' local access to supermarkets.
	Green Initiatives: Ensuring that the city has adquate green spaces is critical to creating a livable, sustainable city with a healthy environment and an improved quality of life.

Recently Adopted Rezonings*:

	Yards - Text Amendment Adopted 4/30/08: Resolution relating to yard regulations for residential developments would deal with the amount of paving and planting in the yards.
	Street Tree Planting - Text Amendment Adopted 4/30/08: The proposed text changes would not involve modifications to regulations governing bulk or permitted floor area. The principal effect of the proposed text amendment would be to increase street tree canopy and curbside permeable planted area in the public right-of-way, in all five boroughs.
	Stairwells Text Amendment Adopted 4/16/08: The City of New York adopted a new Building Code in July 2007. The Code is being phased in and will become fully mandatory in July 2009. One provision of the new Code will increase the required width of stairwells in residential buildings taller than 125 feet from 36 inches to 44 inches; an increase of eight inches.
