iii) Que la ley de Preservación de Sitios Históricos de Nueva York no se diferenciaba de las leyes de preservación dictadas por otros ciudades, en cuanto a que no persigue sus objetivos mediante la adquisición de propiedades históricas, sino mediante controles e incentivos para fomentar la preservación por parte de los propietarios; que siendo que ello implicaba imponer restricciones para cumplir sus objetivos, resultaba una cuestión de mayor importancia de estas leyes asegurar un retorno razonable a las inversiones, así como máxima amplitud para utilizar la propiedad, siempre que este uso sea acorde con los propósitos de la ley.187

The city acted from the conviction that “the standing of New York City as a world-wide tourist center and world capital of business, culture and government” would be threatened if legislation were not enacted to protect historic landmarks and neighborhoods from precipitate decisions to destroy fundamentally alter their character. A) The city believed that comprehensive measures to safeguard desirable features of the existing urban fabric would benefit its citizens in a variety of ways: foresting “civic pride in the beauty and noble accomplishments of the past”; protecting and enhancing “the city’s attractions to tourists and visitors”; supporting and stimulating business and industry”; “strengthening the economy of the city”; and promoting “the use of historic districts, landmarks, interior landmarks and scenic landmarks for the education, pleasure and welfare of the people of the city.”
187 “The New York City law is typical of many urban landmark laws in that its primary method of achieving its goals is not by acquisitions of historic properties, but rather by involving public entities in land-use decisions affecting these properties and providing services, standards, controls, and incentives that will encourage preservation by private owners and users. While the law does place special restrictions on landmark properties as a necessary feature to the attainment of its larger objectives, the major theme of the law is to ensure the owners of any such properties both a “reasonable return” on their investments and maximum latitude to use their parcels for purposes not inconsistent with the preservation goals.” |
