16c and 16d described in these pages (ULURP number

Council on April 30, 2003.
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The Department of City Planning proposes a zoning
map amendment to rezone 110 blocks in Park Slope,
Brooklyn in Community District 6. The goals of the
rezoning are to preserve the historic scale of the
brownstone neighborhoods, and provide increased
opportunities for residential and commercial development
on Fourth Avenue.
The rezoning area is generally bounded by Union
Street to the north, 15th Street to the south,
Prospect Park West to the east, and Third and
Fourth Avenues to the west. A section of Fourth
Avenue between President and Warren Streets is
also included in the rezoning area. In 1993, the
northern portion of Park Slope between Flatbush
Avenue, Fourth Avenue and Union Street was rezoned
to contextual districts; this rezoning would extend
these districts south to 15th Street.
The proposed rezoning would replace the existing
R6 district with R6B and R7B contextual designations
in midblock areas and avenues where rowhouses
predominate, with R6A along Third, Fifth, and
Seventh Avenues and a portion of 9th Street, and
with R7A on Prospect Park West. Along Fourth Avenue,
the proposal would replace the R6 district south
of Union Street and the R7A district north of
Union Street with R8A. The rezoning would replace
C1-3 and C2-3 commercial overlays with C1-4 and
C2-4 overlays, and would establish additional
commercial overlays to reflect existing land use.
The proposal also includes changing a C4-3 district
on Fifth Avenue to C4-3A, a portion of Fourth
Avenue's M1-2 district to C8-2, and an area of
M1-2 to R6B.
