Bushwick Zoning District Recommendations Based on our Studio’s Existing Conditions Research, we developed the following zoning recommendations to provide Make the Road a starting point for advocacy in the Rezoning process. These six districts are aimed at addressing: 1) preservation of affordability, 2) Affordable housing creation, and 3) Economic development through the retention of manufacturing businesses and jobs. Example of where to implement: Streets with low-rise tenement houses, especially areas with rent-stabilized units Other provisions: Anti-harassment, Anti-demolition; Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning for 25% of the units in buildings of ten or more units; additional stormwater management requirements for those in flood zone Example of where to implement: Avenues with low to mid-rise buildings and ground floor commercial Other provisions: Contextual Zoning (height limit would be an average of block). Anti-harassment, Anti-demolition; Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning for 25% of the units in buildings of ten or more units; requirement to mitigate small business displacement, including providing relocation opportunities; additional stormwater management requirements for those in flood zone. Example of where to implement: Avenues with high transit access as indicated; along Broadway but lower height limit Other provisions: Commercial or Community Facility ground floor requirement; Height limit 100-120ft; (approx 10- 12 stories) Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning for 100% of units, with AMI bands 30% at 25%AMI, 20% at 40%AMI, 20% at 60%AMI, 15% at 80%AMI, and 15% at100%AMI; Also include 3 and 4 bedroom units for families. Anti-Harassment zone; Exactions to provide funds for local schools, public facilites, parks, etc; Public realm improvements.
