PLANNING COMMISSION TURNS CITY OVER TO BUILDERS OF TENEMENTS Proposed Regulations Give No Protection to Individual Home Owners Limited Building Heights and Restricted Trade Zones Approved New YorktTs will have an opportunity j durinr the next month to nhow to wnut extent they take Interest In the develop ment of their city nlonic tinea which will tend to make It greater nnd better than ever. The tentative suggestions of the Committee on llulldlng Districts and He frictions havt been Incorporated In great maps which are now on public view In several parts of the city where all may see them ami after examining them may make suggestions which wilt help the commission to Improve on Its work. Though tht commission Is exhib iting these maps ns the fruit of two years labor, It lias not yet adopted even a tentative plan for districting, though It has formulated it plan for limiting heights and areas to bo covered. It will, however, most likely adopt as Ita filan tht Idea mapped out for xonlng the city unlets thoso whoc Interests nre affected can offor suggestion1! which will cause the commission to change Its views. Thus far the plan of the eommls. slon has met with unlvtrsal approval ex cept as to areas In which the building nf detached villa type homes I' to be fos tered, Aa the plan now stands only a few small Isolated districts now covered by restrictions against any other typt of building are marked for future occu pancy by the kind of homes that aro tak ing thousands of people away from the congested sections every year. In other words, practically all of Ntw York city, even the remote parts ut still largely vacant boroughs. Is m.trked with such light restrictions that flats and tene ments can be erected In any part. Tile ltlverdale etctlon In The Hronx,, Jamaica Estate In Queens and one or' two other small nrcaa h.tvo restrictions put on them which make the erection of a commercial structure Impossible, limit the building height to onco the width of tho fronting street, and permit building over only 30 por cent, of the lot. That means that only 1,200 square feet of a plot 40x100 ran be uccupltd. In other words, only a detached house would be profitable on such it site. Though the commission admits there are many thousands of acres of land not yet built upon In the city, land which Is not near built or contemplated transit Summer Homes Like This Aire Near Brightwaters lines. It has failed to set aside any of thl land for detached home develop ment. New Yorkers who desire to have , such homes free from the fear of apart ment Intrusion must go outside the de limits, for under the other restriction of the commission tenements can be built In any taction. The failure of the commission to provide for high cltfs private dwelling tic.tihborh.oo Is ! con sidered the weak point of the plan. Some crltlci have declared that in fall ing to take account of this feature of the city's growth the commission has played Into the hands nf tenement house builders, backed up by the mortgage lending Institutions. No part of the city, except those few small areas where farseolng devclopum have especially re stricted against llntu, will be sale from the depressing Influences of tenement building, If the commission's plan goes through. The commission Is ready to let tene ment builders oerrun the city and de strov the few lemalhtng fine dwelling districts and to 1(111 forever any attempt to make the outlying sections private home communities, unless strong opposi tion nrises. In precntlng Its suggestions for zon lnsr, limiting height and building fireas the commission stated that Its two years of study of locul conditions had con vinced It that the present almost un restricted power to build to any height, over any portion of the lot, for any de slted use and In any part of the city htm reulted in Injury to real estate and business Intereita and to the health, safety and general welfare of the city. Light, air and access, the chief factor". In fixing rentable values, have been Im paired by high buildings, by failure to provide adequate courtH and yards, by tho proximity of Inappropriate or nui sance buildings und uses. A certain decree of order and uniformity In build ing development Is desirable, from the point of view nf public safety and welfare, and is essential to the safety and prosperity of the real estate In-1 terests. I "F.very city," the report continues, "oeromen divided Into more or le.ss j clearly aennoa districts or mrrerent oc cupation, use and tjpo of building con struction. We have tho central olllco and financial district, loft dlntrlcts, waterfront nnd Industrial districts, re Is II business districts, npaitment house and hotel districts, tenement house, dis tricts, private dwelling district. Gener ally speaking a building Is appropriately located when It Is In u section sur rounded by buildings of similar type and use. Htmng social and economic forces work toward u natural segrega tion of buildings according to typo and use. In general the maximum laud val ues and the maximum rentali are ob tained where this segregation Und uni formity are most complete, A chief purpose of dlHtrlctlng regulations Is to strengthen nnd supplement tho natural trend toward segregation. "In spite of the natural trend toward segregation building development In many parts of the city In haphixard. The natural trend toward degregatlnn and uniformity Is not strong enough to prevent the sporadic Invasion of a dis trict by harmful or Inappropriate build ings Or uses. Otjee n district has been iiuis invaaea rents and property values destine and It Is difficult to ever re- claim the district to Ita more appro-1 prlate use. Individual property owners ure helpless to prevent tho depredation I of their property. A chief purpose -of t districting regulations Is) to do for the j individual owners what they cannot d for themselves set up uniform restric tions that will protect each agalnet his neighbor and thus redound to the bene fit of all. "While In New York city economic forces tend to the segregation of Indus tries of the heavier type along the water and rail terminals and to the segrega tion of certain light Industries near the wholesale, retail, hotel nnd passenger terminal centre of Manhattan, thero are other kinds of light Industry that seem to be free from any segregating force nnd locata Indiscriminately throughout the city. They aro found scattered throughout the business nnd residential tactions, especially tho residential sec tions from which their labor supply la recruited. They tend to reduce values nnd rents In the districts they Invade. There Is no greater menace to th nt trnctlveness and vnluo of residential sec tions than that of tho vpornillc factory. "Land value Is usually based on pres. ent or futuro use for some one or more specific purposes. A chief purposo of districting regulations Is to conscrvo land values by prohibiting tho Inappro priate or nuisance uses that are Inimical to the one or more uses that aro con trolling In fixing land values In a par ticular section. If values -n a particu lar section are based on residence un they will certainly be Impaired by the Intrusion of the sporadic faetory. "In a residential neighborhood tho ex clusion of business from all but certain designated business streets will Improve values both on tho business and on the residential strocts. Store, and other business building scattered among the reildences not only depreciate the value of residence property but also tend to lessen tho value of business property on the natural business streets. Tho con centration of all the neighborhood busi ness buildings on- the business streets make the transaction of business more convenient and profitable and thus tends to Increase rents and land values on such streets. The segregation of tlwe1- limes un the exclusively residential streets adds to the convenience, quiet. J attractiveness and amenities of home life and thus tends to Increase rents and laud valuen on such streets "Heritable value in mi aiven block or urea are. also largely dependent "l a vermin meiisure of uniformity In its de velopment res regard height, yards and open spaces. Henubli. values would in general b enhanced If the ptoperty owners could enter Into .in agreement uniformly restllcting the height of build lugs and llxlng the in.nhmim urea of courts and yards The size of courts and ynrds Is in most cases of n much benefit U a man's neighbor ns to him self. Ih therefore apptnpi inte that each nhotild contribute In suh.-tantl.il equality to t'ie common stock of IlKht and air. Tluie can be no seiurlt or stability of values If each Individual owner Is at liberty to build to any height and over any proportion of hi lot with out regard to his appropriate and ioh-ou-able contribution to tho light und air of the block "All tliU has been coni'lulvely demon strated by riHtly experience in the re cent history of tho olllce and loft build ing sectlmiK of Manhattan. Whole area-s have been built up piecemeal with tower ing buildings havlnglnndoiuatecouri:s anil yards without much thought of ultimate consequence. Such ulcus are in procem of being s lumbered by their growth, The streets are inadequate to handle the trnlllc Induced by the multiplication of floor area to be served nnd the building constructed wlehout reference to the width of the streets, yards and courts on which tney abut shut out llfht and air essential to teutal ( n a bayln that will permit of a faJr return on the Invest ment. "The economic desirability of limited height and minimum court and yard provisions has been clearly established by apartment houso instruction under the tenement house taw, Had elmllar regulations been applied to the offlco and loft buildings great economic loss would have been prevented. All agreo that the tenement house law accom plished a most desirable reform In the Interest both of owners and tenants In establishing rrgulntlnns as to height, I area oovered, yaids nnd courts. In ex clusively residential blocks In certain of the more Intensively developed sections light und air conditions have been stand ardized and property values stabilized by Insuring that each owner shall make a reasonable contribution to the light und air of the block. "Only by a complete districting plan can the mutually advantageous principle contained In the tenement house law he applied to all kinds of buildings In all pnrts of the city. There must first be a partial segregation of buildings accord ing to use and second a gradation of height, court and yard provisions, par ticularly as affecting residential build ings, In accordance with the present and prospective Intensity of usu In tho vari ous sections of the city, "Tenants move ajwoy from the icon sestet centres In order to secure better fight and air. Hut If after u few years the bright sunny buildings to which thev have .moved becomes surrounded ty bullia similar In height, yard and court provisions to the building In the congested centre In which they were formerly located, the desirability of the new location for this class of tenant! tlln.appen.ra nnd rentable values are likely to be seriously Impaired. A proper districting plan will Insure that wliercvnr probablo intensity of demand will permit, a certain measure of the Im proved light nnd air conditions that have attracted tenants to the new .location shall be permanently retained. In establishing light and air provisions the district plan will not usually go as far and will In no cue go further than the purely economic standard . Indicated by the mutual advantage of property ownera nnd tenants and tho conscnsatlon of property values. "A districting plan should look to the futuro nnd take Into consideration the types of development appropriate for the Increasing Intensity of use required by a growing city. Improved transit facilities will be developed, the commuting centres for some sixty miles around will doubt lers contlnuo to grow In Increasing ratio, new industrial nnd business centres will Krnw up, but the great bulk of the popu lation will continue to be housed within a five cent fare nnd a thirty to forty minute ride of tho central business dis trict In Manhattan. 'The demand for housing Is naturally greatest In the most favornble locations. Were It not for the ability to multiply housing area by placing one dwelling on top of another rcntH would bo prohibitive In these favored locations for practically nil thoso who now occupy apartments or tints. It Is natural that the Intensity of tin ilemnnd for housing should vary In the dlKorent parts of n given city, the general tendency being, starting with the hlgheit Intensity of demand near the centre, for this demand to fall rapidly tu ward the periphery of the city. As the city grows the Intensity of demand In Ita various parts will usually Increase. To avoid the continuous reconstruction of existing buildings nnd the evil and mis Ills often it-suiting from the conversion of old buildings to new uses. It Is un desirable to base a districting plan on the typo of construction appropriate to tl.u present moment Intensity of use. As the city Is growing that fact should be at Pine Are" Popular liken Into consideration and tpe of ' ontrui Hon authorized appropriate for any Inteiisltv of n.p that will pionably be demanded and Mlally Justifiable within twentv-He or illty years.

On the other hand oertam regulations can be established which will be to the mutual advantage of all property own era and of sreat general publlo benefit. No question of compensation for Individ ual Injury can arise, as existing values are conserved and improved. "Of coarse under the police power rea sonable and appropriate regulations de manded In the Interest of publlo health, safety and general welfare may be en forced without compensating the Individ ual owner for Incidental Injury or ex pense Involved. Tho extent to which this power may be used for illetrlctlnn purposes has not as yet been authori tatively adjudicated In this State. The proposed districting- plan has therefore been limited to such features as It seemed must certainly appeal to the courts as being well within the reason able scope of the police power. "Tentative maps have been prepared showing residential districts and busi ness districts for the boroughs of Man hattan. Brooklyn. The D'onx, Queens and Wdhmond. In a 'residential dis trict' enly buildings with their usual .iccessorlei designed for the following specified uses may be coirstructcd : Resi dential, hotels, private clubt. religious, educational, curative and philanthropic buildings and Institutions. "In a 'business district' a list of specl- fled Industries and uses of a clearly ob jectionable character are exciuaoa, ns are nro all other ut that are noxious or offensive by reason of the emission of noise, odor, dust or gas. The larger type of factory Is excluded from the buslnes districts by limiting the floor space that may be occupied for factory uses In any one building In a business dlMrlct 1o 2S per cent, of the total floor space of the building, but floor space equal to twice the ground floor area of the building may In any case be so used. The proposed regulations npply only to future buildings In uses, and do not Interfere with any existing structure or occupancy, "The remaining portions of the city not Included In the residential or busi ness districts are left unrestricted as to uie. These Include large areas chiefly along the waterfront anil railroads where, an industrial ue emier exisis or is anticipated, and also certain large areas In the undeveloped sections where either a residential or Industrial use may prove the more appropriate, depending largely on future port and termlnat develop ments. "In residential neighborhood the plan has been to presene the side streets, wherever feasible, for strictly residen tial ue. The avenues along the ends nf the block nnd main thoroughfares have usually ben Included In the busrf- I new districts. The business use on the avenue is permitted to extend 100 I feet back alomc the residential side mrects In the letts developed sections It line often seemed feasible to Indicate only every second or third nvenue for business use and thue bectire a larger nnd more attractive and self-contained residential area. "The districting plan divide the rlty Ijito residence districts, business dis tricts und unrewtrlcted areas Further subdivision could doubtless bo made with advantage In pnrtieular cases.

The report shows that the only expend, ture required upon the part ot the clt will bo 8410,000, the cost of making th. connection between the elevated lire a' Corona and the Long Island llatlroi' tracks.
