CB1 Public Hearing on Zoning: PLEASE ATTEND!

The Astoria rezoning proposal (which includes contextual down-zoning from R6 to R5B and R4B for Norwood Gardens) has been certified by City Planning. The review process has officially begun! Your support is so important for the home stretch.

YES

NO

For Norwood Gardens the new zoning means:

• The site-lines on new buildings in Norwood must line up with the existing homes
• Height restrictions mean additions and new structures will be consistent with the established neighborhood buildings not to exceed 30'
  
• Front gardens must be as deep as yards of adjacent homes (or if adjacent yards are differing sizes, the yard of the new building would fall between the two adjacent sizes) *
• Yard protections eliminate curb cuts which allow pave and park in front of homes*
• No more commercial overlays on the residential streets of Norwood Gardens (e.g medical facility on 37th Street near 30th Avenue would not be permitted under new zone)
  
• Community Facility loop-hole closed in our neighborhood

*Yard protections are part of a separate text amendment that will be reinforced by the new zones.

NNA is thrilled with the hard won contextual rezoning for Norwood Gardens. It is very important we follow through, show our support and attend CB1 public hearing Tuesday February 16th @ 6 PM.

Please mark your calendar! And spread the word.

Where: Astoria World Manor 25-22 Astoria Boulevard Astoria, NY 11102
