  • Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill - Approved! Overview
    Projects & Proposals > Queens > Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill - Approved! Overview Background Richmond Hill and Kew Gardens are two of the older communities in the Borough of Queens. The area is known for its quiet tree-lined streets, its mix of large homes and 1930s apartment buildings, its proximity to Forest Park and Maple Grove Cemetery, and its excellent transit connections to Manhattan . The Department of City Planning proposes to rezone all or portions of 140 blocks in the neighborhoods of Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill, Community District 9, Queens, in an effort to address the communities’ concerns that recent development trends are out of context with the existing character, while also providing for much needed housing opportunities along appropriate growth corridors. The proposal encourages new mixed-use development along Jamaica Avenue, promotes housing production on wide streets near the express subway station, and protects interior residential blocks by adjusting zoning district boundaries and designating new zoning districts that match the existing character. Low-density development on 82nd Lefferts Boulevard near the Kew Mixed-use building on Road in Kew Gardens Gardens LIRR stop Jamaica Avenue View more photos... Study Area The study area is bounded by the Union Turnpike, Queens Boulevard, the Van Wyck Expressway, Jamaica Avenue, 100th Street, and Park Lane South. Project Goals and Objectives The Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill communities are concerned that the current zoning of the study area encourages development that is not in character with the existing neighborhoods. The Department of City Planning has studied the Kew Gardens - Richmond Hill area in order to develop a comprehensive and fine-grained rezoning plan that addresses this concern and to identify opportunities to revise zoning designations to reflect the current built environment of the area.

    LONDON THE BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL Two day itinerary: Parks & Gardens London is one of the greenest cities in the world. Nearly 50% of Greater London is green space, so wherever you are, you don’t need to travel far to find a leafy break from the bustle of the capital. While London is famous for its grand royal parks, there are plenty of more intimate spaces to explore, too. From botanical gardens to charming gardens hidden from view, discover the best green spaces in London with this two-day itinerary. Day One Start the day by crossing the road to Hyde Park and walking approximately 10 minutes through the park to The Rose Garden. THE ROSE GARDEN AT HYDE PARK T: 0300 061 2114 | Hyde Park, London, W1J 7NT Make your way across Hyde Park’s luscious lawn and past the Serpentine to the southeast corner to discover a picturesque Rose Garden that’s blooming with flowers.
