Coney West Neighborhood Sites
This site can hold about 1,485–2,528 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable housing. The top of that range is set by the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52); qualifying senior housing is exempt from it and could hold up to about 2,842. The City's LIFT tracker lists 995 homes.
None of the City documents checked gives 995. EDC's 2025 plan puts about 1,500 homes on the remaining City-owned Coney Island West sites, 500 or more of them on Parcel A, which the tracker lists separately at 505; 1,500 less 505 is 995.

What City documents say
Facts from City documents that bear on the figures below. Each is quoted in the sources, and each speaks as of its document's date.
Lot holds the Maimonides Park ballpark
This Parks Department lot holds Maimonides Park, the minor-league ballpark that the Parks Department proposed at Steeplechase Park in 1999-2000. The housing sites are the ballpark-side Parcels E and F, not the stadium.
Planned housing parcels are E and F
EDC's 2025 plan shows new development on Coney West Parcels E and F along the future Parachute Way next to the ballpark.
Parcels E and F have their own zoning limits
In the Special Coney Island District, Parcels E and F allow a floor area ratio of 4.6, or 5.5 for qualifying affordable or senior housing, and floor area may be shifted between them.
Parachute Jump landmark is on this block
The Parachute Jump, designated a City landmark in 1989, stands on this block; its landmark site is the concrete platform beneath it (then Block 7073, Lot 1 in part).
What can legally go here
Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.

Homes, as a range
| Case | Homes | How |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 1,487 | 1,272,483 sq ft × 0.7 ÷ 599 sq ft |
| Base | 1,840 | 1,272,483 sq ft × 0.8 ÷ 553 sq ft |
| High | 2,528 | 1,719,127 sq ft × 0.85 ÷ 514 sq ft = 2,842, capped at 1,719,127 ÷ 680 (ZR 23-52) |
Floor area × efficiency ÷ average home size. Efficiency 0.7–0.85; average home 514–599 sq ft. Assumptions and their basis.
Some figures are shown as a span because the Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on a condition public data do not settle: whether Coney West land outside Parcels A to F (Ocean Way, Parachute Way and the West 20th Street extension) adds residential floor area (ZR 131-321 sets ratios only for the parcels, and ZR 131-132 treats the ways as street lines).
What binds first
Flood hazard
All of the site is in FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 1% annual chance floodplain (zone AE). NYC uses this map for flood-resistant construction rules. Flood-resistant construction shapes the ground floor and can reduce usable floor area.

What gets in the way
Flags are flags, not verdicts. Each comes from a public layer, named in the sources.
- Hazard
In the 1% annual chance floodplain (2015 preliminary map)
All of the site is in FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 1% annual chance floodplain (zone AE). NYC uses this map for flood-resistant construction rules.
- Hazard
In the 1% annual chance floodplain (effective 2007 map)
All of the site is in the 1% annual chance floodplain on FEMA's effective 2007 Flood Insurance Rate Map, which flood insurance still uses (MapPLUTO flags it too).
- Hazard
Stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)
DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise) shows future high tides on about 22% of the site (176,300 sq ft).
- Caution
Contains a designated landmark
MapPLUTO records an individual landmark on the site. Work on a landmark needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, and unused floor area may be transferable under the Zoning Resolution.
- Caution
Floor area depends on a condition public data do not settle
The Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on a condition that public data do not settle here, so some figures are shown as a span. The note under the floor area figures says which condition, and why.
- Caution
Part of the lot has no residential ratio in the Coney West table
About 10% of the lot (79,758 sq ft in the formulas above) is R7D in Coney West but outside Parcels A to F, and the ZR 131-321 table gives no residential ratio for it. The figures keep the underlying R7D ratio there; whether that land counts as buildable lot area is a question for DCP.
- Caution
Part of the site is mapped as a public park
About 60% of the site (472,400 sq ft) is mapped as a public park on the zoning map, where no zoning district applies (ZR 11-13), so it adds no floor area here. If the land is dedicated parkland, using it for anything else, housing included, first needs State legislation approved by the Governor.
- Caution
Placed by the tracker's map point only
The tracker gives one map point per project and no tax lots. This page covers the tax lot under that point, which may be only part of the project's land, or more than it. The figures are for the lot shown.
- Caution
Split zoning
The lot is divided between R7D and mapped parkland, where no zoning district applies, each covering at least a tenth of it. Floor area is computed portion by portion.
- Caution
The lot has buildings on it
The lot has 11 buildings on record with 209,346 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 2000 (MapPLUTO; gross area includes space zoning does not count). Zoning counts floor area already on a lot toward its maximum, so the figures above are the most the land could hold in total, not what could be added while those buildings stand.
- Note
In the Special Coney Island District
Sets residential FAR by parcel in Coney West (4.8/5.8 on Parcels A to D, 4.6/5.5 on Parcels E and F) and caps community facilities at 2.0 in Coney West and Coney North. Its floor area rules are applied above (ZR 131-321, 131-322, 23-22).
- Note
Stormwater flooding in a moderate storm (2050s) on a small share of the site
Less than 1% of the site (about 870 sq ft) shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) on DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (moderate stormwater flood with 2050 sea level rise). It is shown for reference and not counted as a flood constraint on the site.
Nearest subway station: Coney Island-Stillwell Av (D F N Q), 0.3 mi in a straight line.
What this doesn't account for
Public data and the zoning text answer the questions above. These need information that is not public, or a decision that belongs to the City.
- Public land use review (ULURP). Selling or leasing City land, or approving a housing project on it, generally goes through ULURP (community board, borough president, City Planning Commission, City Council), and this estimate does not presume the outcome.
- Disposition of City property (Charter 384 / UDAAP). Transferring the land needs Mayoral approval under Charter Sec. 384 and, for HPD projects, usually Urban Development Action Area designation and project approval under NY General Municipal Law Article 16.
- Environmental review (CEQR/SEQRA). Any discretionary approval, disposition or City funding triggers CEQR/SEQRA review, which can require mitigation (e.g. for hazardous materials, noise or historic resources) or reshape the project.
- (E) designations. A lot with an (E) designation or environmental restrictive declaration for hazardous materials, air quality or noise cannot receive building permits until the Office of Environmental Remediation signs off.
- Subsurface and site conditions. Unknown soil, rock, groundwater and contamination can shrink or eliminate cellars and add foundation and cleanup costs, and HPD requires every project to investigate and, if needed, remediate contamination.
- Deed restrictions and reverter clauses. Land the City bought or sold may carry deed restrictions or reverter clauses limiting its use, which must be checked in title records (ACRIS) and DCAS's deed-restriction database.
- Parkland alienation. If a site is municipal parkland, it cannot be sold or used for housing without an act of the State Legislature signed by the Governor.
- Current occupants, uses and agency plans. Many City-owned lots are in active use or assigned to an agency, or have funded capital projects, and this estimate does not reflect relocation needs or agency plans (check COLP and the Capital Commitment Plan).
- Mapped streets, easements and utilities. Mapped-but-unbuilt ('paper') streets, sewer and water easements and utility lines can take land out of the buildable area, and no permit may be issued for a building in the bed of a mapped street.
- Street access. A lot with no frontage on a mapped street cannot get a building permit on its own and must be combined with a neighboring lot or have access mapped.
- Landmarks review. Sites that are individual landmarks or inside historic districts need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, which can limit demolition, height and bulk.
- Flood-resistant construction. Sites in the 1% annual chance floodplain (or the 0.2% shaded X-Zone for critical facilities) must meet Building Code Appendix G, whose elevation and floodproofing rules can cost usable ground-floor and cellar space.
- Airport height limits. Near JFK, LaGuardia and Floyd Bennett Field, zoning flight-obstruction surfaces cap building height, and tall structures anywhere need FAA notice.
- State and federal funding conditions. Federal or State money brings its own requirements (e.g. HUD environmental review under 24 CFR Part 58, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Section 3 hiring) that can change cost, timing and program.
- Zoning capacity is a ceiling, not a plan. The figures show what zoning allows, and actual HPD projects often build less, for example to fit neighborhood context, a community facility or funding limits.
