On Monday, April 8 (TODAY) at 10:30 AM the New York City Council Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises will be holding a hearing on the City of Yes for Economic Opportunity.
City of Yes (COY) is a package of zoning text amendments that will drastically blur the lines between commercial and residential zoning districts across New York City. If City of Yes passes, commercial businesses will be allowed to operate within residential homes – including nail salons, barber shops, and more. Corner store bodegas will be allowed to open on the corners of residential blocks. Low-density commercial zoning districts will be blown to high density with residential housing on top of the commercial real estate.
