Environmental

Review Analysis

What’s Next?

The draft zoning proposal lays the foundation for how the neighborhood can grow and change. It is also a foundational piece in the environmental review analysis that will analyze potential new development that may occur if the zoning proposal were enacted and what the resulting needs on infrastructure, like schools, traffic, water and sewers, and a number of other technical areas of review.

Commission Vote

Over the past 2 years, the community and city agencies have been engaged in building the Gowanus Neighborhood Plan together through a series of public events, meetings, and online engagement. The Gowanus Neighborhood Plan will include a wide range of actions, including rezoning, capital investments, and programs to meet the plan goals.

City agencies will continue working together with community partners and stakeholders around advancing non-zoning goals and strategies identified in the Framework, which calls for strategic infrastructure and community investments. These improvements and investments like renovating and reopening the NYCHA Gowanus Houses Community Center or reconstruction of key street ends along the Canal, would support the envisioned new level of activity and overall Gowanus Neighborhood Plan.
