Anonymous commented on the post "Carroll Gardens/ Columbia Street Contextual Rezoning Moves On To Brooklyn Borough Hall":

While there was overwhelming support for the majority of the plan, there was also VERY strong consensus against the different zoning (R6A) for the sections of Henry Street, Carroll Street, First Place and Columbia Street. This would allow buildings of up to 70 feet (60 feet plus an additional 10 after a set-back) on these streets. That would have a severe negative impact on those blocks. This was very strongly voiced at the Community Board's public hearing on June 25, but seems to have been overlooked since then. So, while we should support the basic plan, we should be very clear in asking them to change that specific feature. The community has strongly stated that it doesn't want to sacrifice Clinton, Henry, First Place and Columbia.
