New York Zoning and Municipal Law BlogIn a very brief decision, the Appellate Division held that a restaurant and concessions in Union Square Park did not violate the Public Trust Doctrine. In Union Square Park Community Coalition, Inc v. New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, the Court held the uses: “are permissible park uses (see 795 Fifth Ave. Corp. v City of New York, 15 NY2d 221 [1965]) and the concession agreements are revocable licenses terminable at will, not leases (see Miller v City of New York, 15 NY2d 34, 38 [1964]).”
