More Zoning Text and Map Amendments...

•Expand academic and commercial uses by facilitating public/private development and promoting mixed-use opportunities.

Rezone Jay Street Area to C6-4
Two blocks at Tillary, Johnson, Jay and Adams Streets that contain the New York City College of Technology, a Polytechnic University dormitory and Westinghouse High School, currently zoned C6-1 (6 FAR), and Polytechnic University’s portion of the MetroTech campus, currently zoned C6-1A (6 FAR), are proposed to be rezoned to C6-4 (10 FAR).

The rezoning would facilitate new mixed-use academic and office buildings. The proposed zoning change would allow the NYC College of Technology and Polytechnic University to expand their academic facilities and develop revenue-producing office buildings within their campuses. The development of Polytechnic’s site, which now contains the Jacobs Building and a power plant, would also require a revision to the previously approved MetroTech large-scale plan.
