Not really, more like recommendations. However, the article Community Board calls for redesign of One Vanderbilt that chris08876 posted above strikes cautious note at the end

Quote:
The project’s next ULURP hurdle is Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, who won’t get to vote on it — that’s up to the City Council — but whose views may carry great weight with some councilmembers.

It remains to be seen whether she will appreciate the benefits One Vanderbilt would bring to one of Manhattan’s most iconic, but crowd-strained, locations — or yield to community board activists who could delay the project long enough to kill it.
All in all though, does not seem likely they will get any further significant concessions or thwart the project!
