BUSHWICK DEVELOPMENT VULNERABILITY AND ZONING

1

Above:

The map above shows lots in Bushwick that are most vulnerable to develop-ment based on a number of economic, landuse, and zoning based factors. Each factor has been given a value, which when combined creates deeper shades of orange. Those lots that are darkest may be most vulnerable to development based on our analysis.

To the Left:

Each of these are examples are lots on the map that we found may be vulner-able to development based on the factors listed above. Each example shows what could happen to the lot should its zoning be changed to an R7 zoning, which allows residential use at a large bulk size. These renderings are not planned models, and are meant to provide an understanding of what could happen should certain parts of Bushwick be rezoned.
