Plate 85 of 102QueensQueens Community Board 7

Flushing Airport

Current zoning does not allow homes on this site, so the housing floor area is zero until the land is rezoned. The 3,000 homes the City's LIFT tracker lists here depend on a rezoning or other land-use approval.

The 3,000 is the selected developer's 2026 proposal for the whole 80-acre site, which needs a rezoning.

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.

  • This lot is about 16 of the site's roughly 80 acres

    NYCEDC's 2024 request for proposals covered an approximately 80-acre City-owned site along 20th Avenue in College Point. The lot shown is about 15.8 acres (689,500 sq ft in MapPLUTO); none of the City documents checked lists the site's tax lots.

  • Homes need a rezoning; none filed yet

    NYCEDC's 2024 request for proposals described as-of-right industrial and manufacturing use of the site at up to 2.0 FAR, with other uses needing a rezoning and other approvals; the Special College Point District, which covers this lot, caps commercial, community facility and manufacturing floor area at 1.0 FAR (ZR 126-22). The developer NYCEDC selected, Cirrus/LCOR, proposes about 3,000 homes and 60 acres of public space (2026); the City's zoning application portal lists no application for this lot.

  • Wetlands on and around the former airport

    NYCEDC said in 2026 that the developer's plans will include landscaping to integrate the buildings into the surrounding wetlands environment. In 2014 NYCEDC sought bids, on behalf of the City, to build a wetlands mitigation area for the former airport next to Linden Place between 23rd and 28th Avenues.

Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.

What binds first

Needs a rezoning

Current zoning (M1-1 and M2-1) does not allow homes, so no homes can be built here until the land is rezoned or another land-use approval allows them. The floor area figures above show what current zoning allows for other uses.

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).

  • 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 zoning districts (M1-1 and M2-1), each covering at least a tenth of it. Floor area is computed portion by portion.

  • Note

    In the Special College Point District

    Caps commercial, community facility and manufacturing floor area at 1.0 FAR, except on certain M2-1 lots south of 30th Avenue; it adds no residential use. Its floor area rules are applied above (ZR 126-22).

  • Note

    Most community facilities here need a special permit

    On the part of the site in M1-1, about 13% of it (90,700 sq ft), only houses of worship, licensed outpatient health care facilities, and some hospitals and museums are allowed as of right (ZR 42-131, 42-132). Schools need a special permit from the Board of Standards and Appeals; libraries, community centers, non-profit institutions and most other community facilities need one from the City Planning Commission (ZR 42-133). In the Special College Point District, non-commercial recreation centers are allowed as of right too (ZR 126-11). The community facility floor area shown counts that part at what the zoning allows once a use is permitted.

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.

Notes
On September 25, 2026, the MapPLUTO records and zoning district map behind this page were compared with DCP's live MapPLUTO (26v2) and zoning district layers for its lot; every compared field and district boundary matched. A separate calculation, written from the method page and run on the same downloaded City data on September 25, 2026, reproduced the lot area (689,500 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (community facility 90,704 sq ft), and the flags and what limits the site first. It also finds that current zoning does not allow homes on this site.
