Abstract: This handbook serves as a user-friendly guide to New York City’s complex Zoning Resolution, aiming to make zoning laws more accessible to both professionals and the general public. It explains development and preservation regulations originally overseen by the City Planning Commission and the now-defunct Board of Estimate, with responsibilities now held by the City Council since July 1, 1990. While not a replacement for the official Zoning Resolution, the handbook clarifies key concepts and procedures, encouraging informed citizen participation in the planning process. Users are advised to consult official sources, such as the Zoning Resolution or Department of Buildings, when necessary.
