Garodnick says typical neighborhood rezoning was 10,000-14,000 units, with examples like Bronx Metro North (7,000) and Atlantic Avenue (5,000), and investments aligned with growth.

Kevin C. Riley

What is a large scale?

Kevin C. Riley

Can you say for the record?

Kevin C. Riley

What would that be considered?

Dan Garodnick

There's a range.

Dan Garodnick

I mean, in the last administration, a typical neighborhood rezoning was anywhere from 10,000 to 14,000 new units of housing.

Dan Garodnick

But we also have examples like Bronx Metro North, which was 7,000 units, right, along the corridor.

Dan Garodnick

So, or Atlantic Avenue, which was around 5,000.

Dan Garodnick

So there's a range depending on the study area.

Dan Garodnick

But E.

Dan Garodnick

Each of those projects came with investments that were aligned with the level of growth.
