    Queens neighborhood down-zoned


    City Council  •  Rezoning  •  Kissena Park, Queens
    06/15/2005   •    Leave a Comment

    Approval marks the fourth Queens down-zoning in 2005. The City Council voted unanimously to down-zone 40 blocks of Kissena Park, making it the fourth neighborhood in Queens to be rezoned by the Council in 2005.

    The Kissena Park down-zoning responded to residents’ concerns over the demolition of structurally sound single-family homes and the construction of out-of-character developments in their neighborhood. As-of-right development within the 40 blocks will now be restricted to one or two-family homes.

    The Kissena Park action follows the Council’s down-zoning of Bayside, Springfield Gardens and Kew Gardens/Richmond Hill. Taken together, the Council has down-zoned 498 blocks of Queens in the first five months of 2005.

    For the Planning Commission’s consideration and the full ULURP process, see 2 CityLand 55 (May 15, 2005).
