After getting voted down by the local Community Board in Williamsburg, the New Domino residential development has won unanimous approval from the City Planning Commission, which voted 13-0 in favor of the ambitious plans today. In a statement, the developer said the project "will now advance for final consideration by the New York City Council. The plan reflects several years of intensive effort to insure that The New Domino—with its 660 units of affordable housing, extensive public parks, access to the waterfront and quarter-mile waterfront esplanade, connections to the existing street system and restored historic landmark refinery—is a vital and contributing part of the community, not an isolated island apart from it." But City Council approval is no lock; freshman City Council member Steve Levin represents the area and is against the project, mainly due to its density.
