184 spot truck parking and storage lot approved for Staten Island

A truck parking and storage lot with 184 spots has been approved on Staten Island after the NYC Planning Commission dismissed all violations. The 16 acre plot of land along a winding portion of Arthur Kill Road in the Charleston neighborhood of Staten Island, New York was approved for use as a “trucking terminal to serve the niche need of industrial/manufacturing/logistics tenants by providing overflow parking, as well as short-term and long-term storage for tractor trailers” in March. According to SILive, the project was approved by the NYC Planning Commission after $25,000 in fines were handed to the property owner, Arthur Englewood LLC, for removing hundreds of trees without permission. The NYCPC dismissed the violation and any unresolved land use action after a hearing.
