More Zoning Text and Map Amendments...

•Expand residential development with higher density zoning, providing opportunities for integrating new housing and retail with academic and cultural communities and leveraging low-cost financing for affordable housing.


Expand Housing east of Flatbush and at Myrtle Avenue

Rezone East of Flatbush Avenue Area to C6-4
The blocks along the east side of Flatbush Avenue Extension, from Tillary Street to Myrtle Avenue, currently zoned M1-1 (1 FAR), M1-4 (2 FAR) and R6/ C2-3 (2.43 FAR) would be rezoned to C6-4 (10 FAR). Several blocks along the east side of Flatbush Avenue Extension, from Myrtle Avenue to Fulton Street, currently zoned R6 (2.43 FAR), R6/ C2-3 (2.43 FAR), C8-2 (2 FAR) and C6-1 (6 FAR) would also be rezoned to C6-4 (10 FAR).

Under the proposed zoning change, many blocks containing auto-related uses, loft buildings, small stores and residential buildings could be redeveloped with higher-density residential and commercial buildings. The proposed zoning would develop the avenue as a gateway to Brooklyn connecting the Fort Greene community with downtown.
