Rachel Scall provides a comprehensive summary of the 14 proposed actions and bulk waivers required for the Brooklyn Yards project. These actions are necessary due to the unique nature of building over a rail cut and the irregular shape of the zoning lots.

  • 14 total proposed actions, including rezoning, special permits, and text amendments
  • Bulk waivers are required to make the site buildable given its unusual configuration
  • Waivers relate to yard requirements and light and air regulations

It's really a result of the odd shape of these zoning lots.

If we were to comply with yard and light and air requirements as they are written, the site would be unbilledible.
