The renderings below
illustrate the type of new development that would be
possible under the proposed zoning.
Looking
south along West Street from the intersection
of Freeman Street. The proposed 65-foot height
limits along the west side of Commercial Street,
West Street, and Kent Avenue requires waterfront
development to meet the neighborhood at a low
scale.
|
Looking
west along the extension of North 4th Street
in Williamsburg. The proposed Waterfront Access
Plan would require new development to include
publicly accessible waterfront open spaces.
|
Looking
north along West Street at the intersection of
Commercial Street. The proposed enlargement of
Newtown Barge Park would open to the public the
water's edge and spectacular views.

View from
the East River of the Greenpoint-Williamsburg
waterfront, illustrating new parks and a continuous
waterfront esplanade, along with the theoretical
maximum development on waterfront sites. Proposed
zoning text changes ensure variation in building
heights along the waterfront.
