Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy Greenpoint-Williamsburg Rezoning EIS CHAPTER 2: LAND USE, ZONING, & PUBLIC POLICY A. INTRODUCTION A detailed assessment of land use, zoning, and public policy is appropriate if the proposed action would result in a significant change in land use or would substantially affect regulations or policies governing land use. Under CEQR Technical Manual guidelines, an assessment of zoning is typically performed in conjunction with a land use analysis when the action would change the zoning on the site or result in the loss of a particular use. Similar to zoning, some assessment of public policy typically accompanies an assessment of land use. Under CEQR, a land use analysis characterizes the uses and development trends in the study area, and assesses whether a proposed action is compatible with or may affect those conditions. This application is for several actions in the Greenpoint and Williamsburg areas of northern Brooklyn, including zoning map and zoning text amendments, changes to the city map involving street demapping and establishment of a park (collectively, “the proposed action”). The directly affected area, located in Brooklyn Community District 1, encompasses all or parts of 184 blocks. The proposed action would result in the net addition of approximately 7,391 DUs and 253,698 sf of ground-floor local and general retail, and a decrease in industrial space, vehicle and open storage uses, and vacant land. The proposed action would also map a new park along the waterfront and establish a Waterfront Access Plan (WAP) to provide a coordinated network of waterfront open spaces. As the proposed action includes zoning map amendments and zoning text changes and is expected to result in substantial changes to land use at certain sites, a detailed assessment of its effects on land use, zoning, and public policy is warranted. The land use study area consists of both a primary study area, which is coterminous with the boundaries of the proposed action area, where the land use effects of the proposed action are direct, and a secondary study area, which, according to the CEQR Technical Manual, should be used when other, more indirect effects may occur as a result of a proposed action. For the purposes of this analysis, the secondary study area extends approximately a ½-mile from the proposed action area boundary, although the area considered in this assessment has been adjusted to take account of natural and man-made barriers that separate the area from Queens on the north and east, and to include in their entirety those blocks falling partially but substantially within the ½-mile radius. Both the primary and secondary study areas are shown in Figure 2-1. The primary study area is bounded generally by the East River, the Williamsburg Bridge, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, and McGuinness Boulevard. As shown in Figure 2-1, the secondary study area covers an area bounded at its outer limits by Newtown Creek to the north, the East River to the west, North Henry Street/Vandervoort Avenue to the east, and roughly aligned with Boerum Street to the south. 2-1 Greenpoint-Williamsburg Rezoning EIS Figure 2-1 Land Use Study Area N EW TO ASH ST M W C N M G A C N ST U R H L I IA N E C A R BOX ST N E T E E K M T M S O A C S N B A L V AY ST PA CL ID GE A V L A N DUPONT ST A C K E E T R S C Y EAGLE ST E R L N A E H H W H T FREEMAN ST R O N F P W GREEN ST R R E A O S N V T K O K S L I S N T I G N HURON ST T S S L S Greenpoint A T T N D A V INDIA ST AV INT PO EEN N R E J ST G AVA W T O W N KENT ST C R E E K GREENPOINT AV CALYER ST MILTON ST M O J E U W L D T I E A R N NOBLE S L T M I E E M S W O C T S MESE N ROLE AV E E T G D C L L U K S E S I F N T T R OAK ST M O H O N U N U A R E S L M N A O D T S S S R R H B EG R S E Y D S AL A O C U I T L M T B S L C L E N T L D B L E T E R A S W A I RS T F T N N T T N O F S W S S K A N O T E E T AV C N E V R R R Y L I RO E L DP E E S M H A K S S K E N M Q S B UAY ST K M NORMAN AV A T P R T I O U N I O N H D U L O R G T A G E N E S L G W T R S N I M L V A T O F A T L O R A E O A N R N A D Y N NS S R S N T A V O S T S D D S V A B T T A T T R B A G M I I V E NS C M S N K T 1 S T V S 5 T A T T MAN V H NOR A S R T NASSAU AV E K E N E 1 M 2 T H S N T N S 1 1 1 T T 3 E H T V S H A W N N R T S A R 1 T 1 I 0 4 C R T T V CHE E A K T H H SSAU S S NA A A V N T V T M I V 9 T O R H R S P A T G O N A R N S T H K M 8 R DRIGGN S AV V E T U A I A U U O H N R R L E H T V E M S S G E G N K C T E E T A S B O E I S R O K N N T M V E O T L N A S N F O 7 R NY V L A L O T H O A M TH A Y R L N H S D N A A R T R C T S S S T N M S D D T D G E T T N T S K A A U S 6 S T V I V T V V T T T H A N DY S S N R A S G ENGERT AV MBA T V G E LO N A I S N R D E N D S V 5 A E T H 1 R H T 2 B E R Y L K T T E V S W H V E ST T M EL O S S T D EAD S B O T S M N A N TO R A T E 3 T N EW R S Y A D H N W L V Y A P N P S T N R X SIO T R T T E DIVI S 4 E T S V S R T A D A N ER H B R H BEM RT ST N E N N A R EE G E D V S Y U O I 1 K R A A H T V 1 E -Q E R B N A T V E A T N E S H M Y B ON I D L N S N T D R S K E HAR N T D L C O O V I O T BAYARD ST O S R R E 1 P O F T R 0 R R Y O B D A M T E I S S E E H B S N B R R T E T S E T T R N A E S T H A O N Northside R T 9 T S P H S R N T V O VI T V D O U RICHARDSON ST FR E H DSON ST U 1 A ST CONO STRADAL RICHAR M S V S L N A O M I T IT S S S O R I T A N T R A G O S V B N R T G 8 V I I E N O T M A R G T H S S V L S D E A A ER P S D ITH R G V W R T FROST ST N N U T FROST ST T AN S 7 S C D D A T G S S T R V H Y C T N T I W T S L P I T B X N ST N E E I SON 6 S O CK S T O ERS ST WITHERS ST JA 1 R WITH EN P ST H T E D S S U O T T U Q N RS -

This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.

  • F. J. Berlenbach House Designation Report
    Landmarks Preservation Commission May 11, 2004, Designation List 352 LP-2152 F. J. Berlenbach House, 174 Meserole Street, Borough of Brooklyn. Built 1887; architect: F.J. Berlenbach, Jr.; builder: F. J. Berlenbach. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 3053, Lot 13. On April 20, 2004, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of F.J. Berlenbach House and the related landmark site. The public hearing was duly advertised with the provisions of law. Three witnesses testified in favor of the proposed designation, including representatives of the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Historic Districts Council, and the Municipal Arts Society. There were no speakers in opposition to the proposed designation. The Commission held previous public hearings on the proposed designation on November 10, 1981 (LP-1263), June 12, 1984 (LP- 1503), and July 10, 1990 (LP-1791). Summary Located in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, the Berlenbach House is an extraordinary Queen Anne- style survivor from the last decades of the nineteenth century. The three-story frame building was constructed in 1887 by local carpenter Franz J. Berlenbach, a German immigrant, from plans drawn by his son, F.J., Jr., a young architect who had recently opened a design office nearby. The Berlenbach family occupied the house until 1899. The great wave of immigration that New York City experienced in the 1850s brought a large number of German immigrants to Williamsburg. Its population in the late nineteenth century was almost exclusively German. While most of the older wood-frame buildings in this section of Brooklyn have been resurfaced with new materials, this house not only retains its original clapboard siding, but features inventive wood carving.

    Urban Environmental Stewardship Nurturing urban environmental stewardship – a case study of Greenpoint, Brooklyn New York Master Thesis of Johanna Jelinek Boman Social-Ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University. 1 Urban Environmental Stewardship Nurturing urban environmental stewardship – a case study of Greenpoint, New York Master Thesis of Johanna Jelinek Boman Social-Ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University Supervisors: Dr. Maria Tengö – Stockholm Resilience Centre Dr. Lindsay Campbell – US Forest Service, NYC Urban Field Station PhD Candidate Johan Enqvist – Stockholm Resilience Centre 2016/17, 120 ECTS 2 Abstract The benefits of engagement in civic ecology practices and stewardship of urban green space are increasingly recognized in supporting human health and well-being, providing ecosystem services in urban environments and enabling learning and interaction with local ecosystems. There is still a lack in knowledge on how stewardship develops in urban landscapes and how it may be nurtured and supported. Retrieving additional knowledge on this subject will help guide policy and create institutional arrangements that enhance stewardship in order to strengthen its potential as an innovative force and community asset in improving local urban environments. This exploratory study draws upon current research from the Stewardship Mapping Assessment Project (STEW-MAP) in New York and examines a case study of urban environmental stewardship in the neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn in New York City. It sets out to describe and analyze the structure and key roles of a network of stewardship groups and individuals, and further the role of a temporary fund that supports activities related to environmental improvements in Greenpoint.
