The City Council's recent decision on Mayor Adams's 'City of Yes' rezoning highlights the tension between progressive transportation policy and outdated car-centric zoning. This compromise could hinder development significantly.
While Mayor Adams achieved a victory with the passage of his rezoning proposal, the failure to abolish parking mandates means that certain neighborhoods will continue to see limited housing growth.
The amended plan creates a tiered parking regulation with three zones: one eliminating mandates in high transit areas, while maintaining restrictions in low-density neighborhoods, stalling their housing development.
As a result of the latest zoning changes, neighborhoods that have consistently added new housing units will continue to do so, while areas that lack growth will face ongoing stagnation.
