"This is the most pro-housing policy in the history of New York City zoning," DCP Commissioner Dan Garodnick said. "We've never attempted to do something like this."
Council members raised multiple concerns about the proposals, which would rewrite rules governing housing construction in the city, aiming to build about 100,000 new units over 15 years.
The hearings come after the plan passed the City Planning Commission late last month and is its final step ahead of a full council vote before the end of the year.
Many lower-density communities fear the plan will permanently change the character of their neighborhoods, made up of single-family homes and small apartment buildings.
