The Prince's Point Vesting Amendment application, designated as N 240120 ZRR, was submitted by the NYC Department of City Planning to amend the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York. The amendment modifies Article I, Chapter 1, and Article X, Chapter 7, specifically targeting the Special South Richmond Development District (SSRDD) in Staten Island. This action corrects errors in the zoning text adopted in the South Richmond Zoning Relief (N 230112 ZRR), reinstating a vesting provision that allows certain developments to proceed under previously established regulations. The amendment facilitates a residential development comprising 108 detached single-family homes in the Prince's Bay neighborhood. The resolution ensures the continuation of zoning controls that manage development intensity, environmental protections, and community character within the SSRDD.

Why it Matters

The amendment is vital for maintaining zoning consistency and facilitating appropriate development in Staten Island’s Special South Richmond Development District. It restores a critical provision that allows developments to proceed under earlier regulations, preserving community character and ensuring compliance with environmental and land use policies.
