Efforts to rezone the Far West Village are being considered by the Department of Planning after the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation and community groups rallied for two years to restrict out of scale buildings and eliminate hotel and dorm incentives. www.gvshp.org
The Far West Village forms the western edge of the Village Historic District. Residents are adamant about maintaining the architectural prestige of their neighborhood and therefore are driving the conservation of hard-scaped form and style. As a result future design must oblige strict site based codes and ordinances in order to cohesively compliment neighborhood scale and design.
