The New York City Council has approved the Atlantic Avenue Mixed Use Plan (AAMUP), introducing zoning reforms aimed at adding more than 4,000 housing units in Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Also included in the plan is a substantial $235 million investment for infrastructure improvements, enhancing the streetscape to support the expected development. Historically, zoning regulations had restricted new housing in this region since the 1960s, despite its advantageous location near jobs and transit. Community engagement has emphasized tenant protections to ensure residents of rent-stabilized homes remain secure and can access the new affordable units.
The New York City Council's approval of the Atlantic Avenue Mixed Use Plan aims to revitalize the neighborhood while addressing housing shortages and supporting current residents.
The zoning reforms could result in over 4,000 new housing units and an investment of $235 million in infrastructure, transforming a 21-block area.
