In the fall of 2003,
the City Planning Commission and the City Council
approved the comprehensive plan submitted by
Bronx Community Board 8 pursuant to Section 197a
of the City Charter. The plan covers the entire
community district, including the neighborhoods
of Fieldston, Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Kingsbridge
Heights, Marble Hill, Spuyten Duyvil and Van
Cortlandt Village. It also includes one of the
city’s four Special Natural Area Districts,
designated in the Zoning Resolution to guide
development in areas of outstanding natural beauty.
The plan’s goals are to: preserve the scale
and character of those neighborhoods; strengthen
protections for sensitive natural features; improve
the appearance and economic vitality of local
commercial districts; foster economic opportunities
and access to cultural and educational facilities;
create additional recreational resources, enhance
existing parks and promote the greening of major
corridors; and preserve and educate the public
about historic resources.
The Planning Framework below illustrates zoning
changes proposed in the plan to achieve its principal
goals.
