Michael Kavalar details the proposed zoning map amendments for the Bronx Metro North Neighborhood Plan. He explains the creation of sub-districts and the specific zoning changes proposed for each area.
- The study area is divided into sub-districts to address unique goals and challenges.
- Proposed changes include various residential and commercial district mappings, such as C4-4, R6A, R7-2, and M1-4 districts.
- Zoning changes aim to create vibrant mixed-use districts centered around new transit access.
- The proposal balances respect for existing context with opportunities for growth presented by new rail service.

Here we have a map of the area of the proposed zoning map changes The larger study area was further broken down into a series of sub districts to help structure the proposal and in recognition of unique goals and challenges, any of these areas.
0:20:10
These districts include a station adjacent sub area at Morris Park, where we propose a C44 district with an RA residential equivalent.
0:20:20
A transitional residential sub area meant to respond to surrounding lower density neighborhoods and where we propose mapping combination of R6a, R6 1, and R7 2 districts, a transitional mixed use area where we propose mapping full C43 and C44 commercial districts, which also have residential equivalents, a high density residential sub area near the future Park District of Venice Station where we proposed mapping in our 8 district R8x District Apologies.
0:20:49
Station adjacent retail area where we propose mapping a C24 commercial overlay to allow for a bit more retail near the Future Morse park station area, an automotive sub area where we propose a minor change in parking rags from the existing CA 1 to a CA 2 district.
0:21:04
To encourage transition over time to neighborhood serving retail uses in those areas.
0:21:09
And then finally, 1 large opportunity site at 1601 Bronkstell Avenue, where we proposed mapping an M1a industrial district and an R73 residential district.
0:21:20
Together, we believe these changes will help facilitate the development of vibrant mixed use cent district centered around new transit access in a way that is both respectful of the existing context, while also leveraging the opportunities for growth presented by this unique and historic addition of rail service in these neighborhoods.
