    Rezoning The Waterfront

    Uploaded by

    The Lo-Down
    This document discusses rezoning the waterfront area. Currently, the zoning allows for light industrial uses, hotels, and high-density residential and commercial buildings up to a maximum Floor Area Ratio of 10. The document proposes rezoning according to the Chinatown Working Group plan, which would create a Special Purpose District to support the unique character of the Two Bridges area while ensuring long-term protections like affordable housing and small businesses. This could impact future development by requiring affordable units and context-sensitive design. The proposal has support from Community Board 3 and calls on the Board to join the application process to enact these protections.

    Long-term protections for the waterfront that will ensure:
    That any future development is in context with existing buildings.
    Ensure the affordability of the neighborhood through increase of deeply affordable
    housing and protections of existing affordable housing and small businesses.

    The SubDistrict D Special Purpose District support the unique elements of


    the Two Bridges Waterfront area, adjoining Chinatown and LES as the
    historic and continuing home for immigrants and low and working class
    residents. Protecting the waterfront protects the entire LES and
    Chinatown.
    Support For This Plan Apoyo Para Este Plan
    Community Board 3
    The Land Use Committee of Community Board 3 voted in support of this plan on November 9th, 2015.

    The Community
    The community has worked on the CWG for close to a decade.

    City of New York


    The CWG Plan for Subdistrict D proposes Mandatory Inclusionary Housing with permanent affordability, which is in keeping
    with the Mayors housing plan.
    Mayors OneNYC Plan calls for all residents to have access to recreation space and sustainable green spaces. There are
    already construction plans connecting the East River Esplanade, Pier 35 and the recreational, park and open space
    development of Pier 42 with the existing East River Park. SubDistrict D proposes that these areas be zoned and mapped
    Park to ensure long term protections for these projects.
    The Mayors Plans recognizes that NYCs uniqueness and strength lies in its diversity and welcomes new immigrants. DCP
    has continued to support Special Purpose Districts to address the unique aspects of specific areas, which often set specific
    use and bulk (including height) regulations that overlay and modify the underlying as-of-right zoning.
    Certificate of No Harassment legislation will be introduced in November 2017. The CWG plan calls for exactly this kind of
    anti-harassment legislation in the whole neighborhood, and so we are calling for CB3 to be included in that legislation.
