  • 1 City of New York 2012-2013 Districting Commission To
    CITY OF NEW YORK 2012-2013 DISTRICTING COMMISSION TO: NYC Districting Commission Members FROM: Carl Hum, Executive Director RE: February Revised District Plan DATE: February 4, 2013 ______________________________________________________________________________ This document provides staff comments related to the New York City Districting Commission’s revised district plan, which has not yet been adopted by the Commission. The revised plan will be discussed at the Commission’s February 6, 2012 public meeting. This document is not intended to provide a comprehensive discussion of all of the factors considered by the Commission. CRITERIA USED IN REDISTRICTING In New York City, three fundamental sources of law govern redistricting: the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment, the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the New York City Charter (hereinafter referred to as the “Charter”). As explained below, the Districting Commission carefully and faithfully adhered to the criteria set forth in each of these sources of law throughout the districting process. A. U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment The Fourteenth Amendment’s “Equal Protection” clause guarantees that the law is to be applied in an equal fashion to all persons within a jurisdiction. It established the “one person, one vote” standard, which requires that districts be of generally equal population. See Gray v. Sanders, 372 U.S. 368, 381 (1963). In comparison to congressional redistricting, the Constitution allows a greater deviation in state and local redistricting. “[A]s a general matter, . an apportionment plan with a maximum population deviation under 10% falls within [a] category of minor deviations” insufficient to “make out a prima facie case of invidious discrimination under the Fourteenth Amendment.” Brown v.

  • Flatbush Rezoning Flatbush Rezoning - Approved! Overview
    Projects & Proposals > Brooklyn > Flatbush Rezoning Flatbush Rezoning - Approved! Overview Update July 29, 2009: On July 29, 2009, the City Council adopted the Flatbush Rezoning. The zoning map and text changes are now in effect. The New York City Department of City Planning (DCP), at the request of Community Board 14, elected officials and civic groups, proposes zoning map changes and zoning text amendments for one hundred and eighty blocks located in the Flatbush neighborhood of Community District 14, Brooklyn. The project area, which includes the rezoning area and the area of a proposed zoning text amendment, is bounded by; Caton Avenue, Parkside Avenue and Clarkson Avenue on the north, Bedford Avenue and the Community District 14 boundary to the east, Campus Road and the Long Island Railroad’s Bay Ridge freight line on the south, and Coney Island Avenue on the west. The proposed zoning would primarily match new zoning to the existing built character which includes areas of detached homes, row houses and apartment buildings. Currently, existing zoning does not reflect the built character of lower-density detached and apartment building areas. Under the current R6 zoning, development of tall apartment buildings without height limitation is permitted and has resulted in demolition of existing detached, one- and two-family homes.The new zoning also provides incentives for affordable housing development in the area in addition to strengthening commercial corridors. Map of the Rezoning Area in the Larger Study Area Brooklyn Context View a larger image View a larger image Projects & Proposals > Brooklyn > Flatbush Rezoning Flatbush Rezoning - Approved! Existing Context and Zoning Neighborhood Character The neighborhoods of Flatbush are generally located directly south of Prospect Park, between the major thoroughfares of Coney Island Avenue and Flatbush Avenue, north of Farragut Road, and between Coney Island Avenue and Nostrand Avenue to the south of Farragut Road.

  • Emily Myers (00:01): I'm Emily Myers, and This Is the Brick Underground
    Emily Myers (00:01): I'm Emily Myers, and this is the Brick Underground podcast covering everything you need to know aBout New York city real estate, whether that's Buying, selling, renting, or renovating. This week, we are putting the spotlight on Brooklyn in a conversation with Lindsay Barton Barrett, a broker with Douglas Elliman who has extensive experience brokering deals in Brooklyn and also Manhattan. Lindsay. Hi. Lindsay Barton Barrett (00:24): Hi Emily. Thanks for having me. Emily Myers (00:26): It's great to have you on the podcast. You recently brokered a record $25 million deal on a brownstone in Brooklyn, perhaps proving that it's one of the hottest areas of the market, but Brooklyn has shown broad resiliency throughout the last year, prompting sellers to ask whether it's a good time to sell and buyers to ask where the deals are. We'll get to that in a minute, but Lindsay, do you think that resilience is to do with the shift in work culture? By that, I mean, many people are working from home while offices remain closed. And even after the vaccine rollout, they might expect to only go to an office one or two days a week. And this gives people the opportunity to get more for their money by taking on a longer commute. Lindsay Barton Barrett (01:11): People are excited about Brooklyn for a lot of different reasons. And I think always have been, but it has caught the attention of people who might not have otherwise looked at it Before COVID.
