County• Five neighborhoods
• 280 blocks
• 5,910 lots
EXISTING ZONING - ISSUES
• Encourages development that is out of character with existing neighborhood context
• Restricts opportunities for mixed used development along the area’s wide streets
• Does not reflect higher accessory parking demand in medium density areas
OBJECTIVES• Establish a low-scale framework to protect and
reinforce established building scale
• Ensure the provision of front and side yards, street trees and sidewalk planting strips
• Address community concerns for additional accessory parking requirements in auto dependent locations
• Provide zoning flexibility for residents to enlarge one-family homes in Far Rockaway
• Facilitate a mix of residential and commercial activities in select locations to strengthen existing contexts along wide streets and in areas close to transit.
