Bayswater/Far Rockaway Rezoning
The Department of City Planning rezoned 82 blocks in the Bayswater and Far Rockaway areas of Queens. The rezoning was designed to preserve the character of the neighborhoods. R-2 zoning was changed to R1-2, and R3-2, R-4, and R-5 zoning was changed to R3A, R3X, and R4A zoning. Community Board 14 has held hearings on this issue, and the Queens borough president recommended approval.
Battle Rages Over Potential Downzonings In Bayswater
Monday, February 27, 2006 | New York Sun | Topic: Land Use
On April 5th the Planning Commission will vote on a downzoning plan that would lower the density in a number of neighborhoods including Bayswater. Many advocates think that such a change will preserve the area's character and infrastructure, but others feel that such restrictions would unjustly limit their ability to recognize the full value of their property.
