New York Department of City Planning (DCP) Director Dan Garodnick today released the draft zoning framework, a detailed zoning map, and draft strategies to advance the Long Island City Neighborhood Plan toward environmental and public review.
.....“This is an opportunity to take a comprehensive look at LIC’s strengths and needs, and plan for a more affordable, resilient neighborhood,” said DCP Director Dan Garodnick. “With this plan, we can deliver much-needed housing, including mandating affordable housing for the first time in this neighborhood, good jobs, improved transportation, and excellent open spaces and waterfront access.”
“Since the beginning of the OneLIC Neighborhood Planning Process, I have ensured that we are centering our community’s voices so that we develop a neighborhood plan that meets our long-term needs and puts people over profit. Throughout 11 meetings with over 1,300 attendees, our community’s priorities are clear: we must commit to building 100 percent affordable housing on public land, open desperately needed schools, support local businesses, increase green space, and plan for resiliency for our current and future residents,” said Council Member Julie Won.

The proposed land use would update the Waterfront Access Plan to guide development and ensure public open space, a continuous public walkway, amenities, improved resilience, and connections to inland areas to the east.
The proposal would enable high-density mixed residential, commercial, and light industrial uses along the waterfront, from roughly 46th Road, just south of Anable Basin, stretching to roughly 44th Avenue, and would enable high-density housing near Court Square, at the east end of the study area.
North of the Queensboro Bridge, between 21st St. and 23rd St., the proposed land use would enable high- and medium-density mixed-use residential, commercial, or light manufacturing developments. Along 44th Drive and in the southern portion of the study area, the proposal would enable medium-density residential, commercial, and light manufacturing uses.
And in the portion of the Long Island City Industrial Business Zone (IBZ), the proposal would enable high- and medium- density manufacturing, commercial, and community facility uses to support business success and growth.
