**Large-Scale Rezoning for Long Island City Enters Public Review**
The Adams administration has officially launched the public review process for the OneLIC Neighborhood Plan — a comprehensive proposal aimed at reshaping Long Island City, Queens, with a significant infusion of housing and commercial space.
Under the OneLIC plan, approximately 14,700 new residential units and 3.5 million square feet of commercial space would be added to the neighborhood. The rezoning area spans from the East River waterfront to Crescent Street, and from Queens Plaza North to 47th Avenue, with one extension reaching up to 39th Avenue between 21st and 23rd Streets.
“With its central location, great transit access, and diverse economic base, Long Island City is exactly the kind of place where we should add new homes,” said Daniel Garodnick, Director of the Department of City Planning. “This plan updates zoning in parts of the neighborhood still limited by outdated and restrictive rules, allowing more housing and jobs while creating a more accessible and resilient waterfront.”
OneLIC marks the fifth neighborhood plan from the Adams administration to enter public review. If adopted, the combined total from these five initiatives is projected to deliver more than 50,000 housing units to New Yorkers over the next 15 years.
