City Planning seeks to rezone part of Bed-Stuy

Following the rezoning of the southern section of Bedford Stuyvesant in 2007, the Department of City Planning intends to rezone 140 blocks of the northern part of the neighborhood. The plans were revealed last night at a local community board meeting, according to Brownstoner.

The boundaries of the rezoning will be from Quincy to Flushing, and Classon Avenue to Broadway. Developments will be limited to seven stories in some areas with avenues and wide streets, and to 10 on Myrtle Avenue. The plan includes incentives for affordable housing. Gaps in commercial overlays will also be filled.

Attendees at the meeting expressed worry that city parking lots might be developed on. The plans will face an environmental review and then public review. [Brownstoner]
