Rolling Out the Zoning Workshops! |
Yo! It’s right before the holidays and we finally have a little time for an update. We’re excited to report that we’ve been testing out a new set of zoning tools for our advocate and policy friends around the city. They’re helping us to develop and improve the tools before we start mass producing them and distributing them later in 2011.
The activities offer a fun, interactive primer on zoning for use and zoning for bulk, and allow facilitators to look at the potential impacts of rezonings in your neighborhood. For the really nerdy, there are optional modules on more advanced concepts like incentive zoning, contextual zoning, inclusionary zoning, and transfer of development rights.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Brooklyn workshop at Fifth Avenue Committee, the Manhattan workshop at the North Star Fund, and our little toolkit preview at the New Museum.
We’re really excited to keep testing and developing the zoning toolkit. Get in touch if you want to try it in your neighborhood!
