Bedford Stuyvesant Rezoning
The Department of City Planning has certified a rezoning of the southern portion of Bedford-Stuyvesant. The rezoning was urged by Brooklyn Community Board 3, as well as local elected officials and civic groups, to preserve the character of existing residential neighborhoods, while creating new opportunities and incentives for what the city terms “moderate-size” residential construction and affordable housing development. The new zoning would focus future growth on Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue, while downzoning most of the area north of Fulton Street, with the exception of the major north-south avenues. In addition, the City's Department of Housing Preservation and Development will assist the development of affordable housing by providing financing.
The City Planning Commission held a public hearing in August 2007. The City Council unanimously approved the rezoning on October 29, 2007.
Bedford Stuyvesant Rezoning Approved by City Council
Tuesday, October 30, 2007 | AM New York | Topic: Land Use
The City Council has approved the rezoning of a 206 block area of Bedford-Stuyvesant. The rezoning is intended to encourage development along major avenues while maintaining low-density residential side streets by preserving historic brownstones. It has also created some mixed-use areas. Many applaud the rezoning for its dual purposes: to preserve low-rise residential character and to encourage affordable housing. Some residents are concerned that the rezoning does not sufficiently protect current commercial tenants.

Monday, May 07, 2007 | Metro New York | Topic: Land Use
The Department of City Planning is expected to start its official review of rezoning plans for the southern part of the Bedford- Stuyvesant neighborhood in Brooklyn. Community Board 3 is hopeful that the plans will include protections of the historic brownstones that many in the community believe help define the neighborhood while also allowing for some growth and affordable housing options. In a plan that Community Board 3 developed in 2005 there was also discussion of increased retail and cultural space in the area.

The city announced that it will rezone parts of the Bedford –Stuyvesant and Fort Green/Clinton Hill neighborhoods in Brooklyn.
