Council approves Carroll Gardens rezoning

Sign Up for the undefined Newsletter

Part of Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn has been rezoned, following the City Council’s approval yesterday. Carroll Gardens, known for its elaborate front gardens, had been governed by arcane zoning rules that counted the gardens in the width of the streets. Developers could then build larger, taller buildings because of the “wide” streets. First, Second, Third, and Fourth Places as well as Carroll and President Streets between Smith and Hoyt Streets are included in the change. It is unclear whether the development of the controversial 360 Smith Street, whose official address is on Second Place will be affected.
