Zoning in New York City, Past and Present
Thursday, April 17th, 2008
Why is zoning necessary? When did it begin? How do you unravel a zoning text? Doris Diether, a long time community activist and zoning expert, demystifies New York zoning in a lecture that considers New York City zoning, from pre-1916 to today. Ms. Diether covers different types of districts and what they permit, different types of zoning uses, as well as the difference between zoning and landmarking.

Doris Diether’s zoning classes are fantastic! New York City’s Zoning Resolution is complicated and I feel fortunate to have had a guide like Doris Diether. She IS the “Zoning Maven” of New York.
Doris has a tremendous amount of knowledge and is very thorough.
She was of immense support during the zoning changes we sought for SOHO in the late 60’s.
Wonderful to hear her share her knowledge.
