The ZRD1 Project takes a deep dive into interesting zoning issues that have been the subject of previous Zoning Resolution Determination (ZRD1) requests.  The ZRD1 Project believes that a careful study of these determination approvals may suggest some level of “department practice” and allow architects and developers the confidence to apply the Zoning Resolution accurately during early design phases.

Please note that approved ZRD1's apply only to the development for which they were issued.  In addition, Department practice has evolved on many subjects and a prior approval may no longer represent Department practice.  Always consult with an architect or zoning counsel to understand the specific regulations pertaining to your project.  This website has absolutely no affiliation with the City of New York or any NYC agencies.

Your comments and discussion of the post are welcome in the forum.  Please contact us directly to discuss a particular zoning issue or development project.

Enjoy!

July 2024 Update - The City of Yes for Economic Opportunity text amendment makes portions of these blog posts obsolete.  Some text sections have been reorganized and links to section references may no longer be accurate.  More importantly, the text amendment opens a new chapter in New York City zoning analysis.  Until such time that these posts can be updated, please consider these posts as representative of NYC zoning prior to the enactment of the City of Yes text amendments.
