The next phase of the long process of rezoning Gowanus will start on May 29. That’s when an “update and presentation” by the Department of City Planning on the next phase of the Gowanus Land Use Framework will take place. The meeting will take place at PS 32, which is located at 317 Hoyt Street, at 6PM. There’s more info about the framework here at the City Planning website. A major meeting to get community input took place more than a year ago and was attended by Planning Director Amanda Burden. The actual rezoning proposal is expected to cover about 25 blocks of the original 60 that were studied, leaving about 2/3 of the study area zoned for manufacturing rather than mixed use development. The likely part of the neighborhood that will be rezoned are the ones marked A, B, C and D in the map, with “Subarea B” being one of the most contentious.
