City to rule on NY Methodist expansion Tuesday
The Board of Standards and Appeals is expected to rule on Tuesday on New York Methodist Hospital’s zoning variance application for a planned expansion in Park Slope.
NY Methodist seeks to build a state-of-the-art ambulatory care center. Many local residents, however, oppose the proposed 500,000 square-foot expansion, saying its height — up to 152 feet — and bulk would alter the low-rise character of the neighborhood, as well as drawing increased traffic to surrounding streets. An underground lot would hold up roughly 800 — 1,000 vehicles.
