§ 6-03 Statement of Regulatory Policy.
RCNY § 6-03
(a)In regulating modifications and additions to any existing improvement and construction of any new structures or any work affecting landscape improvements in the Riverdale Historic District, the Landmarks Preservation Commission seeks to preserve the Riverdale Historic District's important landscape qualities and special architectural and historic character.
(b)In the Riverdale Historic District, the Landmarks Preservation Commission finds that the houses and other structures which make an important and significant architectural contribution to the Riverdale Historic District are those built, in whole or in part, before 1940.
(c)In assessing whether proposed work is compatible with the special characteristics of the Riverdale Historic District in terms of the placement, style, size, material and finish of such work, the Landmarks Preservation Commission shall consider such work's proximity to any significant landscape improvement or pre-1940 building and how it may physically or visually impact the building or landscape improvement. The Landmarks Preservation Commission shall also consider the extent of the proposal's visibility from a public thoroughfare.
