community board 11 a resounding "no" to city of yes

Bellcourt Is Opposed to City of Yes!

 Our local Community Board (CB 11) heard a presentation from the Department of City Planning, then a presentation from Paul Graziano, followed by a vote, which was a nearly unanimous NO. Read the coverage of that meeting here, in the Queens Chronicle. 

ACTION ALERT!

The ongoing effort to urbanize our neighborhood is back. The "City of Yes" proposals would eliminate single-family zoning, which would be the death of Bellcourt. This new proposal would allow, among other things, smaller lot sizes, larger and taller homes, and apartment buildings on what are now single-family lots. It would allow developers to build with few restrictions, without regard to green space, parking, density, or our quality of life. The "yes" in the City of Yes is yes to overdevelopment, and the Bellcourt Civic Association is adamantly opposed. See our ALERTS page for our position statement and the current plan.
