Extract of Department of City Planning report of March 6, 2024 in support of the City of Yes proposed amendment to the zoning resolution concerning dancing.
The Department of City Planning issued a report on March 6, 2024 in support of the City of Yes proposed amendment to the zoning resolution in connection with dancing.
The report is not a complete in its description of the changes relating to dancing and it both gives and takes away.
The report states:
Eating or drinking establishments with forms of scheduled entertainment such as music, comedy, or dancing, that have cover charges or specified showtimes, would be consolidated from the existing Use Group 6C, 10A, and 12A categories into one use. In C1-C3 districts, these businesses would be limited to the pre-existing Use Group 6C capacity limitation of 200 persons or fewer. This change would allow small venues that host concerts to permit patrons to dance without violating the zoning. Venues over 200 people would be newly allowed in C5 districts, enabling larger nightlife and entertainment businesses as a key component of the economic recovery of the city’s Central Business Districts in Midtown and Lower Manhattan.”
