This rezoning project in Queens addresses community concerns that recent residential development allowed under the current zoning is inconsistent with the established scale and character of the neighborhoods. The proposed zoning will permit lower density development and less commercial intrusion in order to protect each neighborhood’s residential context.
On September 26, 2005, the Department of City Planning certified the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure application for the Middle Village – Glendale Rezoning to begin the formal public review process.
