Overview

• The commission voted 11–1 to approve the OneLIC Neighborhood Plan, marking the first binding step in the ULURP process.
• The City Council has 50 days to consider the plan, and local Council Member Julie Won says she will oppose it without guarantees on affordability, open space, schools and infrastructure.
• The rezoning would enable up to 14,700 homes with at least 4,300 permanently affordable under Mandatory Inclusionary Housing, which would apply in Long Island City for the first time.
• The 54-block area stretches from Queensbridge Houses to Hunters Point and as far east as Court Square and 23rd Street, including three city-owned sites near Anable Basin once tied to the Amazon HQ2 proposal.
• The plan includes more than 3.5 million square feet of commercial and light-industrial space projected to support roughly 14,400 jobs and requires a continuous public waterfront with an updated access plan.
