Large-Scale Rezoning for Long Island City Launches Public Review
The Adams administration has launched the public review process for the OneLIC Neighborhood Plan, a proposal to add nearly 14,700 residential units and 3.5 million square feet of commercial space to Long Island City, Queens. The plan’s boundaries stretch from the East River waterfront to Crescent Street and Queens Plaza North to 47th Avenue, with one segment reaching farther up to 39th Avenue between 21st and 23rd streets.
“With its central location, great transit access and diverse economic base, Long Island City is exactly the kind of place where we should add new homes,” said Daniel Garodnick, director of the Department of City Planning. “This plan updates zoning in parts of the neighborhood still limited by outdated and restrictive rules, allowing more housing and jobs while creating a more accessible and resilient waterfront.”
OneLIC is the Adams administration’s fifth neighborhood plan to enter the public review process. If the plan is adopted, the administration’s five neighborhood plans would deliver more than 50,000 housing units to New Yorkers over the next 15 years.
