The Inner Ring is composed of numerous neighborhoods with a wide variety of building types, zoning, geographies, land uses, and vehicular and transit access. METHODOLOGY

To get a bett er sense of the context each of these neighborhoods provides for The following 23 neighborhood profi les – seven in “A” study zones and 16 in “B” accessory off -street parking, the study divides the Inner Ring into 23 areas, each study zones – are groupings of one to four ZIP codes. “A” study zones are ZIP comprising a group of ZIP codes roughly approximati ng neighborhoods with codes which are located within ¼ mile of more than one subway corridor, have a similar characteristi cs. Each of these “neighborhood profi le areas” contains low modal split of residents who commute by vehicle, and have a high populati on qualitati ve and quanti tati ve informati on about their land use, zoning and parking density. “B” study zones are ZIP codes located within ½ mile of one subway cor- characteristi cs. ridor, and to varying degrees have a higher modal split of residents who commute by vehicle and/or have a somewhat lower populati on density than “A” zones. Relevance of Neighborhood Profi les to the Inner Ring Study The Household Travel Survey will provide a detailed analysis of data obtained The guiding principle for determining which ZIP codes to group together was that from a DCP-authored survey of 1,300 households within the Inner Ring.

• The 125th Street Corridor Rezoning (April 2008) aff ected a swath largely from 124th Street to 126th Street west of 2nd Avenue. This rezoning att empted to both encourage new development and balance the goals of supporti ng existing neighborhood character and scale and revitalizing the 125th Street corridor by encouraging a diverse mix of business and arts uses. Much of this area had not been rezoned since 1961. Zoning was enacted mandati ng building height limits and consistent street walls far more than the previous zoning did. Ground fl oor uses encouraging pedestrian acti vity were prioriti zed over those which did not, and larger buildings were required to reserve at least 5 percent of their total fl oor area for arts uses. (A follow-up text amendment in November 2008 reduced maximum building heights for some zones and amended some density and arts use regulati ons.)

(Small porti ons on the proposed rezoning area fall within the Harlem North and Washington Heights-Inwood neighborhood proﬁ le areas.) The proposed rezoning seeks to establish contextual districts that limit building heights and ensure consistent building form; strengthen the West 145th Street corridor by allowing for development opportuniti es where appropriate and permit use of the Inclusion- ary Housing program to promote aﬀ ordable housing. Existi ng light manufacturing and commercial uses would conti nue to be permitt ed and be allowed to expand within the manufacturing district.

Mixed-use and contextual zoning districts were used to balance preserving the area’s light industrial character and allowing denser, larger- scale residenti al development, especially along major avenues. A major compo- nent of the rezoning was the additi on of a Dutch Kills Special Mixed Use to the Special Long Island City Mixed Use District (described above). However, unlike the three sub district created as part of the 2001 Long Island City rezoning, there are no parking maximums. However, several other provisions were put in place3.

• In May 2004, zoning changes were adopted in Downtown Brooklyn to encourage oﬃ ce space development and expansion in the commercial core, along with new open spaces and expanded academic and cultural faciliti es. The area south of MetroTech was rezoned to C6-4.5 to promote high-density oﬃ ce constructi on. The Jay Street area was rezoned to C6-4 to encourage additi onal academic and commercial uses. Areas east of Flatbush Avenue and south of Fulton Mall were also rezoned to C6-4 to encourage high-density residenti al and commercial developments. Myrtle Avenue frontage was rezoned to R7-1 with a C2-4 overlay, and southern Flatbush Avenue Area was rezoned to C6-2. Zoning was also enacted to provide a gradual transiti on between Downtown Brooklyn and Boerum Hill/ Cobble Hill to the south.

Rezoning Acti ons Aft er 2008 • In July 2009, a zoning amendment was approved for DUMBO. In an at- tempt to augment an existi ng Special Mixed Use district to the south and west created in 1999, this rezoning allowed conversion of loft spaces formerly used for manufacturing to residenti al uses – a practi ce which had been taking place in this neighborhood since the 1970s.

Rezoning Acti ons Aft er 2008 • On October 13, 2010, the City Council adopted the Third Avenue/Tremont Avenue Rezoning for an area comprising all or part of 75 blocks. (A small porti on of the study area falls within the Longwood and West Farms proﬁ le area.) The Third Avenue Elevated, disconti nued in 1973, sti ll has a heavy inﬂ uence upon the avenue’s industrial- and automoti ve use-oriented zoning and character. Limited commercial development and underuti lized lots also exist along Tremont Avenue, while outsize high-rise development has also encroached upon the rezoning area. The rezoning establishes new Special Mixed Use districts, and converts existi ng manufacturing and R7-1 zones to a variety of medium-density residenti al and commercial districts. New R5 and R6A districts allow contextual development with modest growth.

Proposed Rezonings • DCP has undertaken a Webster Avenue/Bedford Park/Norwood Rezon- ing for 80 blocks in the northwestern Bronx. (Approximately half of this rezoning falls beyond the northern edge of the Inner Ring.) Under the rezoning, (from C8-2 to C4-5D and R7D) medium-density housing and retail would be allowed along Webster Avenue; mandatory ground-ﬂ oor retail development along the avenue would encourage a more walkable, vibrant community. Residenti al areas would be rezoned (from R8 to R4A, R5A, R5B, R6B, R7A, and R7B) to preserve their existing contexts. The existi ng zoning has been unchanged since 1961. The proposed rezoning acti on received approvals from community districts 7 and 12 by mid-No- vember 2010.

• At the request of Community Board 6, Fordham University, Monteﬁ ore Medical Center, the New York Botanical Gardens and the Bronx Zoo, the Depart- ment of City Planning is undertaking a rezoning study for an approximately 12- block area along East Fordham Road between Bathgate Avenue and Southern Boulevard.

to apply to both the Landmarks Preservati on Commission and to the City Planning Commission for modiﬁ cati ons to their properti es. All properti es within the underlying residenti al and commercial districts of the Special Planned Community Preser- vati on District2 were rezoned to follow the regulati ons of an R4 district in order to preserve the historic character of the neighborhood.

Proposed Rezonings • DCP is undertaking a rezoning study of approximately 130 blocks within Sunnyside and Woodside. The rezoning aims to prevent out-of-character development on residenti al side streets, especially in areas primarily consisti ng of two- and three-story residenti al buildings; reinforce the higher scale and density of the apartment buildings north and south of Queens Boulevard; provide incenti ves to promote the development of aﬀ ordable housing; and support new business locati on opportuniti es along and near to Queens Boulevard. Speciﬁ c rezoning designati ons and acti ons have not yet been proposed.

VEHICLE OWNERSHIP Rezonings 1996-2008 • In April 2003, 110 blocks of Park Slope were rezoned. While most of this In 2008, there were over 20,500 vehicles registered to addresses in this neighbor- area was contextually rezoned to preserve the existi ng scale and character of side hood, or 0.32 vehicles registered per dwelling unit. Publicly subsidized NYCHA streets, opportuniti es for higher-density development along 4th Avenue, where a units accounted for nearly 8 percent of all housing. HPD units were not a signifi cant subway line runs, were created by an upzoning. Areas where rowhouses dominate enough presence to provide a valid sample. The vehicular registrati on rati o for were largely rezoned R6B and R7B. R6A zoning was put in place along 3rd, 5th, and NYCHA housing was signifi cantly lower than that of market-rate housing. 7th avenues and a porti on of 9th Street, and R7A zoning was established along Prospect Park West. Along most of 4th Avenue from Warren Street to 15th Street, R8A zoning was established.

• Fift y blocks of South Park Slope were rezoned in November 2005. (This 115 AREA B

rezoning, which spans 15th Street through 24th Street, also crosses into the Sunset Park proﬁ le area.) Similar in many ways to the intent of the 2003 Park Slope rezoning to the north, the rezoning sought to protect the low-rise, rowhouse character of midblocks from the increasing presence of out-of-scale buildings, while extending higher density R8A zoning south along 4th Avenue.

Rezoning Acti ons Aft er 2008 • In July 2008 the City Council approved a zoning text amendment declaring certain streets in Carroll Gardens as “narrow streets.” This amendment limits the size and conﬁ gurati on of buildings in order to preserve the unusually deep front yards within this community. The text amendment legally deﬁ nes several streets as “narrow,” thus creati ng more stringent height and setback regulati ons which would force any new development to be more in line with the area’s disti ncti ve ap- pearance.

• In October 2009, approximately 86 blocks of the Carroll Gardens and Columbia Street neighborhoods were rezoned. Out-of-scale development within the community prompted a largely contextual rezoning to protect existi ng residenti al areas; R6 zoning was generally changed to R6A and R6B districts. Commercial overlay depths were also reduced to reduce retail encroachment upon residenti al midblocks. New development would balance and modest expansions where appropriate at a height and scale that is in keeping with the existi ng context.

Proposed Rezonings • DCP undertook a zoning study of an approximately 23-block area situated along the Gowanus Canal. The rezoning aimed to preserve and strengthen the industrial areas, introduce public waterfront access to the canal, and expand opportuniti es for housing, including aﬀ ordable development. First considered in January 2007, the zoning proposal was initi ally put forth in May 2008 but was substanti ally delayed by an EPA analysis of whether the City’s Gowanus Canal remediati on plan would be preferable to designati ng the canal a Superfund site. In March 2010, the EPA announced that the canal was being designated a Superfund site. A detailed plan for cleaning the canal is to be ready by 2014 and dredging and decontamina- ti on of the canal would take at least 5 additi onal years1.

Rezoning Acti ons Aft er 2008 • In July 2009 the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Contextual Rezoning was enacted. The vast majority of the rezoning aﬀ ected neighborhoods to the north (see the Greenpoint or Williamsburg proﬁ le areas for more details), but 12 blocks in the northwest corner of this area were rezoned. A C4-3 zone along part of Grand Street, and an R6 district were rezoned to C4-4A along Grand Street and R6B. (Half a block on both sides of Graham Avenue north of Maujer Street was rezoned R6A.)

Proposed Rezonings • DCP is currently undertaking a rezoning study for an approximately 140- block area located in the northern half of the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. This rezoning study would build upon the nearby Bedford-Stuyvesant South rezoning, which was approved in 2007. The proposed rezoning would preserve neighborhood scale and character; maintain opportuniti es for mid-rise apartment building constructi on along appropriate corridors; and allow for residenti al growth with incenti ves for aﬀ ordable housing along certain transit and retail corridors. The rezoning study analyzes development along the mid-blocks and avenues in order to ensure the mapping of medium density, contextual zoning districts that more accurately reﬂ ect the existi ng built character.

This rezoning primarily aimed to conform to the neighborhood’s existi ng built character, and to prevent demoliti on of existi ng structures in R6 zones, parti cularly along Coney Island Avenue and near Flatbush Avenue. (In order to protect their detached, one- and two-family character, all or part of 40 blocks in four separate neighborhoods were rezoned R3X.)
