At
the close of 2004, members of Community Board 12-Manhattan (CB12) began to seek
resources for conducting a neighborhood planning and land-use study covering all
of Washington Heights and Inwood, the neighborhoods that make up
“Northern Manhattan” and comprise Community
District 12 (CD12). After consultation with City agency representatives and
their elected officials, CB12’s officers and committee chairs determined that a
broad-based, district-wide planning study would aid in identifying priorities
and in establishing consensus around a set of criteria for evaluating
proposed and future development.
