      The Department of City Planning is trying to strike a balance between preserving core manufacturing districts and allowing for job creation in other areas.

      • The proposal recognizes the need for core manufacturing district preservation where manufacturing is prioritized over anything else
      • In other areas, such as those in M Districts, the goal is to ensure job creation without overprescribing in a way that limits development
      • The Department is creating new districts for the first time in 60 years to be responsive and determine where, when, and how they should be applied
      • Mandating certain levels or floor area ratios before allowing other development can result in vacant space if people cannot meet those requirements
