City Council Enacts Massive Long Island City Rezoning
The New York City Council has approved the Adams administration’s OneLIC Neighborhood Plan. The largest rezoning the city has enacted in 25 years, the plan will rezone a 54-block swath of this Queens waterfront neighborhood to facilitate construction of up to 14,700 housing units, including 4,350 income-restricted units. It also entails adding 3.8 million square feet of commercial, community facility and light industrial space.
“When we came into office, we promised to turn the page on decades of half-measures and deliver the housing New Yorkers need,” said Mayor Eric Adams. “Four years later, we’ve done exactly that. With our five neighborhood plans and historic ‘City of Yes’ initiative all passed, we’ve laid the foundation for over 130,000 homes and changed the conversation around housing in our city.”
OneLIC is the fifth neighborhood plan to be approved under Adams, following Midtown South, Jamaica, Atlantic Avenue and the Bronx-Metro North Station Area Plan.
