Garodnick outlines the proposed changes to streamline zoning rules in low-density districts. The goal is to make it possible once again to build appropriate housing types in these areas.

  • Adjustments include changes to required heights, rear and side yard sizes, and zoning envelopes.
  • These changes aim to make it easier for homeowners to get insurance and deal with city regulations.
  • The proposed streamlining is intended to address the difficulties created by the current complex zoning rules.

This helps when you're trying to get insurance, when you're trying to deal with the city's apartment buildings, if you're nonconforming because we have put so many rules in place.
