Staten Island Rezoning at 198-208 Richmond Terrace

planned

A rezoning application for a stretch of Richmond Terrace in Staten Island's St. George neighborhood proposes shifting the site to a higher-density zoning designation, removing a hillside preservation overlay, and requiring affordable housing in any future residential development. The application includes changing the zoning from R6 to R7-3, eliminating the Special Hillsides Preservation District overlay, establishing a new Special St. George District designation, removing the current C2-2 commercial overlay, and establishing a new C2-4 commercial overlay. It also maps a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area requiring affordable units in new residential projects.
