Community Board 2 passed a resolution Thursday ?generally supporting? a joint proposal by the City Planning Commission and the city?s Landmarks Preservation Commission to rezone 14 blocks in the Far West Village, but it requested that the commissions ?revisit? two major development sites that fall within the proposal?s area. The proposal is expected to be officially certified into the ULURP (Uniform Land Use Review Process) July 11.

The two sites that the community board was particularly concerned about are known as the Superior Ink and Whitehall Mini-Storage sites, which are located, respectively, on West Street between Bethune and West 12th Streets, and on Charles and West 10th Streets between West and Washington Streets. The board?s resolution ?expressed great concern that two important sites?.will not be down zoned and there are current plans for these sites that are out of context with the Far West Village.?

Andrew Berman, the director of the Greenwich Society for Historic Preservation, urged the full board meeting Thursday night to urge the commissions to have ?no carve-outs for developers.?

The Superior Ink factory, a two-story structure with 100-ft.-high smokestacks, was erected in 1919 for the National Bisquit Company and was recently acquired by The Related Companies, which has proposed a 20-story residential tower designed by Gwathmey Siegel Associates in a style similar to the developer?s and architect?s curved glass tower at 445 Lafayette Street at Astor Place that is now nearing completion. The proposed, 104-unit building would be higher than the recently completed towers designed by Richard Meier at Perry and Charles Streets on West Street.

The Whitehall Mini-Storage building at 303 West 10th Street is four stories tall and was built in 1938 and The Witkoff Group has commissioned Cook + Fox Architects to design a 17-story residential building for the site.
