In response to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's new development plans to rezone and rejuvenate east Midtown, historical conservation organizations such as the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Municipal Art Society and the Historic Districts Council are working to designate buildings targeted for potential redevelopment as historical landmarks. The Yale Club of New York, which houses the Dartmouth Club of New York, tops off the list of 17 historical buildings that have been identified as ideal for redevelopment. The Landmarks Conservancy submitted a request to evaluate historic buildings to the New York City landmarks preservation commission, but it is uncertain how long the commission will take to make a decision, said Andrea Goldwyn, director of public policy at the conservancy. The commission has completed a survey of the historic sites in the proposed rezoning area, including the Yale Club. "The Landmarks Preservation Commission is actively reviewing which sites may be eligible for future landmark designation," Elisabeth de Bourbon, director of communication of the Landmarks Preservation Commission, said in an email. The potential rezoning of the streets surrounding Grand Central Terminal will most likely not go into effect for several years, but the preparations could start much sooner, Goldwyn said. Current zoning rules forbid buildings taller than existing buildings to be built in the east Midtown area.
