Maspeth - Woodside Rezoning
In the summer of 2006, the City Council unanimously approved a proposal by the Department of City Planning to rezone approximately 130 blocks in Maspeth and Woodside in western Queens, which are in Community Districts 2 and 5. Most of the rezoning area lies east of the New Calvary and Mt. Zion cemeteries and is bounded by Roosevelt and Woodside Avenues on the north, the LIRR rail cut and 74th Street on the east and the Queens-Midtown Expressway on the south. Queens Boulevard bisects the rezoning area from 50th to 74th Streets.
The primary purpose of the rezoning effort was to preserve and reinforce the established neighborhood fabric and prevent out-of-character development. Additionally, the rezoning addresses the need for new housing opportunities, primarily along Queens Boulevard. The rezoning also contains the first-ever inclusionary zoning (IZ) provision in the borough. Inclusionary zoning programs allow developers to build larger buildings than would normally be allowed by also agreeing to rehabilitate or create affordable housing units.
EDC To Build Near Queens Borough Hall
Tuesday, October 10, 2006 | New York Daily News | Topic: Land Use
The Economic Development Corporation is seeking proposals from developers for an 800,000-square-foot complex to take the place of a 1,100-vehicle parking garage behind Queens Borough Hall. The EDC announced plans to redevelop the site in 2002. The selected developer will work cooperatively with the School Construction Authority to build a separate, 190,000-square-foor public high school on the same site.

Inclusionary Zoning Passed In Queens
Monday, August 21, 2006 | City Limits Weekly | Topic: Urban Design & Architecture
The first-ever inclusionary zoning (IZ) provision was unanimously passed for the Maspeth – Woodside area of Queens. The rezoning package will affect a 130 block area that will allow developers to construct larger than normally allowed buildings as long as they also rehabilitate or develop affordable housing units. IZ programs are a part of Mayor Bloomberg’s 10-year housing initiative but were mainly thought of being used in new Manhattan’s dense neighborhoods.
