The New York City Council approved a rezoning plan for the Bronx, expected to create 7,000 apartments, including 1,700 affordable units, over the next decade. The rezoning covers 46 blocks near four planned Metro-North stations. To secure approval, the plan included parking mandates, reducing the overall housing units by 582 and adjusting height limits to align with neighborhood character. Additionally, $500 million was allocated for local infrastructure improvements. The rezoning marks the first major neighborhood rezoning under the Adams administration, highlighting the influence of local council members in shaping land use proposals.
