Purpose:Enhance and continue to revitalize this major borough thoroughfare through public realm and street improvements and requirements for permanently affordable housing on all new developments – including on previously rezoned portions (MIH on previously rezoned portions)
Proposed Zoning:C4-4D* (R9A equivalent)Goals Supported:
• Implement MIH to generate new mixed income housing, including market-rate and permanently affordable units
• Allow existing ground-floor parking to be replaced by active ground-floor uses to further improve the streetscape and safety along 4th Avenue
• Make off-street parking regulations more flexible, reduce unnecessarily high parking requirements
• Apply a transit easement around properties next to subway stations along 4th Avenue to support new entrances, ADA accessibility and other station improvements toward a more transit oriented and energy efficient neighborhood
Promote a walkable neighborhood and enhance the pedestrian environment
Required active ground floor uses
Encourage non-residential upper floors and a mix of uses
Flexible bulk envelopes to allow street wall and base
height articulation
