At a town hall meeting in Greenpoint last week attended by Mayor Bloomberg and various city commissioners, City Planning chief Amanda Burden announced that her department has completed its contextual zoning study for Greenpoint and Williamsburg. According to Brooklyn 11211′s roundup of the meeting, Burden said that all of Greenpoint is slated to get contextual zoning, which means no more finger buildings, no more community facility bonuses, and more opportunities for inclusionary (affordable) housing. Community Board 1 has been working with City Planning on the study for more than a year, and official details about the study’s findings will presumably be released soon.
