The application by East 60th Street Associates LLC proposes an amendment to the Zoning Map in Manhattan's Community District 8. The rezoning will change the existing Special Enhanced Commercial District (C2-8) to a new Special Enhanced Commercial District (C2-8), an R8 District, and an R8A District. This affects multiple properties on the north side of East 60th Street, between Third Avenue and Lexington Avenue. The objective is to align zoning with current and future development trends, enabling a combination of commercial and residential uses. The inclusion of R8 and R8A districts specifically aims to foster residential development while maintaining a strong commercial presence, thereby cultivating a more dynamic, mixed-use environment consistent with urban planning objectives for increased density and diversified land use.
