Proposed Changes to Commercial Overlays
Commercial overlays in the rezoning area, C1-2, C2-2 and C2-3 districts along portions of Northern, Bell and Francis Lewis boulevards, the Long Island Expressway, 35th Avenue, and 48th Avenue, are generally zoned to a depth of 150 feet. DCP proposes to eliminate commercial overlays on blocks without commercial uses along 48th Avenue, and to reduce the depths of other overlays to 100 feet to avoid commercial intrusion into the residentially developed midblocks .
The actions proposed include:
- Reducing the depths of C1-2 commercial overlays on three south-facing block fronts along the Long Island Expressway between 210th and 217th Streets, from 150 feet to 100 feet.
- Reducing the depth of a C1-2 commercial overlay on the south-facing block front along 35th Avenue between 205th Street and the Clearview Expressway Service Road West, from 150 feet to 100 feet.
- Removing a C1-2 commercial overlay on both the south- and north-facing block fronts on 48th Avenue between 211th and 212th Streets.
- Reducing the depths of C1-2 commercial overlays on both the south- and north-facing block fronts of 48th Avenue between 212th Street and Bell Boulevard, and on the east-facing block front of Bell Boulevard between 48th Avenue and 47th Avenue, from 150 feet to 100 feet.
