Wednesday, October 31st, 2007“Contextual Zoning” Passes NY City Council!
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007
This afternoon, the New York City Council voted into law the rezoning of 99 blocks in the Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Wallabout neighborhoods.
Known as “contextual” zoning, this new zoning law will protect the character of this truly special area for generations to come. Buildings will now need to conform to height restrictions so there are no more towers sticking out like sore thumbs (or tin cans) right next to a 4-story brownstone. Even development along the commercial corridors of Fulton Street and Myrtle Avenue will now be required to conform to height restrictions where there weren’t any before.
To view details of the new zoning law, visit the website of the New York Department of City Planning.
Years in the making and a top priority for the Fort Greene Association, this effort owes its success to so many people. Congratulations everyone, and thank you all.
