 Manhattan Community Board No. 4 -- 8th Ave. Zoning Resolution
THE WEST SIDE OF EIGHTH AVENUE Manhattan Community Board No. 4 opposes the proposed increase in FAR described in the Proposal, in particular that applied to the west side of Eighth Avenue beyond a maximum of 12 FAR.
To mitigate the density differences, we recommend development on the west side of Eighth Avenue remain capped at 12 FAR resulting in a step-down effect moving west from 14.4 on the east side of Eighth Avenue to 12 FAR to 4.2 FAR in Clinton.
We also wish to note that buildings on the east and west sides of Eighth Avenue will never appear to be mirror images of one another due to the 100 feet deep zoning lots on the east and 150 feet zoning lots on the west side.

 Manhattan Borough Board Opposes Eighth Avenue Rezoning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
The Manhattan Borough Board voted April 16 to oppose New York City Planning Department's controversial proposal to rezone a Midtown stretch of Eighth Avenue in the midst of the Broadway theatre district, and Borough President C. Virginia Fields will most likely follow suit.
Board members were unhappy that the west side of the Eighth Avenue -- officially part of the Clinton community, which lies just west of the Theatre District -- would be included under the zoning change.
Manhattan Borough Board C. Virginia Fields may follow up the board's rejection of the proposal with a no vote of her own.

 Islands - Manhattan
Manhattan may be the heart of the Big Apple, but this island in the Hudson River is really not very big - just about 12 miles top to bottom and less than 3 miles wide.
Which makes it possible to explore Manhattan the way a New Yorker would, by taxi, subway, and on foot, from neighborhood to neighborhood.
More than perhaps any other city in the world, New York's culture is a reflection of the world around it - and Manhattan's Museum Mile, a stretch of Fifth Avenue from 72nd Street to 104th Street, is a vibrant window to that world.
