Boerum Hill wants what Carroll Gardens is about to get. The Brooklyn Paper reports that Carroll Gardens is reaching the end of a long rezoning road, as the City Council is expected to approve the downzoning of the brownstone neighborhood when it meets on Monday. Meanwhile, The Paper’s sister pub Courier Life says that residents in neighboring Boerum Hill want a piece of the rezoning action: We feel that it is imperative to rezone the 19 orphaned blocks of Boerum Hill from R6 to R6B in order to preserve and enforce contextual development throughout our entire neighborhood, Boerum Hill Association President Howard Kolins wrote to CB 2 District Manger Rob Perris. The rezoning would place height limits on the area regardless of how much FAR a developer accumulates.
