ACTIONS & STAKEHOLDERS
REQUIRED ACTIONS / APPROVALS
The City of New York is proposing a series of land use actions to facilitate the redevelopment of the City-owned project site currently occupied by the 126th Street Bus Depot. These land use actions are as follows:
ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
​
To change the existing M1-2 light manufacturing district to a C6-3 general commercial district that allows for greater density and more uses. Hover over the image at right to compare the maximum density allowed under the proposed C6-3 zoning district versus the density of the present bus depot.
The massing of buildings shown in the proposed C6-3 zoning district represents the maximum density allowed under the new rezoning. This is known as the Reasonable Worst Case Development Scenario (RWCDS). For more information regarding this maximum build out scenario click here.
