\n A bombshell court ruling means that the opponents of plans for a massive Lower East Side development project have lost their battle to chop the planned towers down to size.<\/p>\n

The state app<\/a>eals court last week decided that the towers planned for Clinton, Cherry and South streets don\u2019t need to go through the city\u2019s tortuous Uniform Land Use Review Procedure because the plans comply with zoning. Had the appellate judges not overruled a lower-court ruling, the projects would likely have been reduced in size and development delayed by the City Council.<\/p>\n

The ruling paves the way for four towers of between 63 and 80 stories to one day soar above the low-rise Two Bridges neighborhood\u2019s mostly 19th-century tenements.<\/p>\n

The projects \u2014 by developers JDS Development Group, CIM Group, L M Development Partners and the Starrett Corp. \u2014 could rival Extell\u2019s One Manhattan Square for the title of the area\u2019s tallest skyscraper, although they won\u2019t rise for several years.<\/p>\n

Opponents had argued that the projects needed to go through \u00adULURP because they didn\u2019t like that new buildings would be so tall.<\/p>\n

The appellate judges disagreed: \u201cAlthough the proposed towers are more than twice the height of surrounding buildings, it is undisputed that they do not violate any applicable zoning regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councilwoman Margaret Chin, who represents the district, and Speaker Corey Johnson oppose the plans, as does Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer. They said in a statement that they were \u201cdisappointed\u201d by the ruling and \u201care evaluating our options.\u201d<\/p>\n

Problem is, they appear to have no options, because the appeals court ruled unanimously, 4-0. And since it is the state\u2019s highest court, opponents have few legal options left.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
