Rezone
Downtown Brooklyn Core Area to C6-4.5
The area south of MetroTech would be rezoned to
C6-4.5, increasing the allowable FAR from 6 and
10 to 12 for commercial and community facility
buildings. Residential buildings would be limited
to an FAR of 10 but could achieve an FAR of 12
through a plaza bonus or inclusionary housing.
This area, between Willoughby Street and the Fulton
Street Mall, Flatbush Avenue Extension and Adams
Street, is currently zoned C6-1 (6 FAR) and C5-4
(10 FAR).
The rezoning would promote new office building
construction to extend the MetroTech office core
south to the Fulton Mall. The area is now dominated
by many small underdeveloped commercial and residential
buildings, and parking lots fronting on Willoughby,
Gold, Duffield, Bridge and Lawrence Streets. Along
the Fulton Mall, the rezoning area contains department
stores, retail and office buildings. Tower building
forms would continue to be permitted (with no
height limit) and a 250-foot height limit would
be established for a non-tower building form.
