LES Board Should Vote Down City’s Rezoning Proposal, Members Say
(DNAINFO) Lisha Arino | November 19, 2015 — Community Board 3 members rejected two citywide proposals to create affordable housing through zoning changes Wednesday night, saying they remained skeptical that the plan would create more units within the financial reach of the neighborhood’s longtime residents.
CB3’s Land Use, Zoning, Public and Private Housing Committee drafted two resolutions against the city’s Zoning for Quality and Affordability and Mandatory Inclusionary Housing amendments following a three-hour discussion that included input from locals and the Department of City Planning.
The board will formally take a position on the proposed text amendments next week at its full board meeting.
