    Three Bronx neighborhood rezonings approved

    Rezoning  •  Park Stratton/Harding Pt.,Bronx

    Harding Park/Clason Point Rezoning. Proposed Zoning used with permission of the NYC Department of City Planning. All rights reserved.

    Rezoning encompasses unique residential co-op on Bronx waterfront. Responding to concerns over increasing out-of-scale development, City Planning initiated rezoning studies of Harding Park, Clason Point and Park Stratton in the Bronx, ultimately proposing to rezone 47 blocks.

    Under the proposal, 34 blocks of Harding Park and Clason Point, located along the peninsula bounded by the Bronx River to the west, the East River to the south and Pugsley’s Creek to the east, would be rezoned to generally reduce the minimum lot size, further restrict building heights and prohibit multifamily housing. Both neighborhoods consist of low density oneand two-family homes. Harding Park originated as a campground that summer residents converted to year-round homes during the housing shortage following World War II. Its residents later fought with the state and the City to remain, ultimately forming a co-op to purchase the land from the City. It is still characterized by narrow, unmapped streets, and some original bungalows remain. Parks controls a 1.1 acre portion of its waterfront. (read more…)
