    Council approves controversial Bronx rezoning

    City Council  •  Rezoning  •  Pelham Parkway/Indian Village, Bronx

    75-block rezoning protects low density in some areas, but increases density in others. On July 19, 2006, the City Council approved City Planning’s rezoning proposal for portions of Pelham Parkway and Indian Village, two northeastern Bronx communities characterized by low density residential development. The proposal will reduce the permitted density of development on 67 blocks and increase the permitted density of residential construction on eight blocks along Williamsbridge Road and Pelham Parkway South. 3 CityLand 91 (July 15, 2006).

    At the July 17, 2006 hearing before Council’s Subcommittee on Zoning & Franchises, City Planning’s Purnima Kapur, director of the Bronx office, spoke about the controversial up-zoning to an R5D district along Williamsbridge Road. The rezoning would allow all types of residential development, but restrict the scale of development by setting a 40-foot height limit and restrictive parking requirements. Subcommittee Chair Tony Avella criticized Kapur for showing a diagram of potential development in the R5D zone that he believed rested on “assumptions” rather than realistic development schemes and called the diagram “unprofessional given the controversy that exists.” (more…)

    Bronx rezoning sent to Council

    City Planning Commission  •  Rezoning  •  Pelham Parkway/Indian Village, Bronx

    Commission approves 75-block rezoning despite some opposition. On June 21, 2006, the Planning Commission approved City Planning’s rezoning proposal for portions of 75 blocks of Pelham Parkway and Indian Village, two northeastern Bronx communities characterized by low density residential development. The proposal would reduce the permitted density of development on 67 blocks and increase the permitted density of residential construction on 8 blocks along Williamsbridge Road and Pelham Parkway South. On the six lots along Williamsbridge Road to be up-zoned, Planning proposed to map the newly created R5D district, which allows all types of residential development but limits the scale of development by setting a 40-foot height limit and more restrictive parking requirements.

    Nine residents and Council Member James Vacca testified in opposition to the rezoning at the Planning Commission’s public hearing due to Planning’s proposal to up-zone six lots along Williamsbridge Road. The opposition told the Commision that the up-zoning would only increase the area’s traffic problems. (more…)
