Members of the City Council are voting tomorrow on the mayor’s “City of Yes” Housing plan.
The plan aims to create new homes, increase the number of affordable housing units, and provide greater tenant protections.
During negotiations, the City Council and the Adams administration struck a deal on a modified version of the proposal.
As part of the compromise, the number of potential new units was reduced from about 108,000 to 80,000.
The proposal to eliminate parking mandates across the city now varies by neighborhood. The modifications create three zones with different parking regulations.
The areas in red would no longer require new developments to include additional parking, while those in yellow and blue maintain some parking minimums.
One of the areas where mandates were completely eliminated is the Upper East Side, represented by Manhattan City Councilman Keith Powers.
Powers joined “The Rush Hour” on Wednesday to discuss the plan.
