City Council Okays 4,600-Unit Residential Rezoning for Central Brooklyn
The New York City Council on Wednesday approved a rezoning that could add up to 4,600 apartments around Atlantic Avenue in Central Brooklyn. The vote comes eight weeks after the City Planning Commission okayed the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan.
The rezoning covers a 21-block swath across Prospect Heights, Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Replacing the existing industrial zoning, the plan is part of the Adams administration’s efforts to create more housing.
Forty percent of the new housing, or about 1,900 units, will be priced as permanently affordable, including 1,000 units priced at an average of 60% of the area median income. Another 900 affordable units will be built as city-financed development at seven public sites.
“The Atlantic Avenue Mixed Use Plan will produce more affordable housing units than was built collectively over the past decade in this area of Central Brooklyn,” Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said Wednesday.
