The New York City Council adopted application C 240369 ZMM, submitted by the New York City Economic Development Corporation, for an amendment of the Zoning Map for the SPARC Kips Bay project. This action involved changing Sections 8d and 12c from an R8 (Residential) District to a C6-4 (Commercial) District in Manhattan. The rezoning, located at 425 East 25th Street, facilitates the development of a forensic pathology center and medical examiner facility, along with a laboratory, which are permitted under the new C6-4 zoning. This change enables a broader range of uses and potentially higher density for this critical municipal project.
