Platinum Row will be subject to a full and comprehensive environmental review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), with the Common Council acting as Lead Agency. Every study referenced on this site will be submitted and reviewed as part of that process, in public.
The Petition is filed with the Common Council, together with the Master Plan, planning report, market study and supporting drawings.
The Council refers the Petition to the Law Department and the Planning Board for recommendations. • A draft scope for the environmental review is submitted and opened for public comment.
A full Draft Environmental Impact Statement is prepared, published for public review and comment, and the subject of a public hearing.
A Final Environmental Impact Statement and Findings Statement are completed — before any approvals are granted.
The Council acts on the zoning text amendment, the PCD-2 Overlay District and the Master Plan.
Construction is expected to take approximately 6 to 8 years from approval. Construction sequencing will be addressed in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
