Plate 68 of 102BrooklynBrooklyn Community Board 11

New Utrecht BPL + Muni Lot

This site can hold about 110–140 homes under the zoning maximum for a qualifying residential site. 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 157. The City's LIFT tracker lists 200-300 homes. That range is more than the 140 homes the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) allows under current zoning on the lots shown here; it is also more than the high estimate for qualifying senior housing, which the limit does not cover.

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.

  • Operating library must be replaced inside the new building

    Lot 64 holds the New Utrecht branch of Brooklyn Public Library. HPD's June 2026 request for proposals requires a new 23,000-25,000 sq ft library in the project, so part of the site's floor area goes to the library rather than homes.

  • City parking lot on Lot 31; EV chargers stay to about 2030

    Lot 31 is Bensonhurst Municipal Lot #1, a public parking lot run by the Department of Transportation. HPD said in July 2026 that its eight electric vehicle charging spaces must stay in service in place until about December 2030.

  • Rezoning assumed by the RFP; needs future approval

    The request for proposals tells bidders to assume a rezoning to C4-5D along 86th Street and R6A along 85th Street with Mandatory Inclusionary Housing. HPD said in July 2026 that the selected project will need ULURP, City Council and Mayoral approval for the rezoning; bids were due September 4, 2026.

  • Land returns to the City when affordability ends

    HPD says the City will convey the site subject to an extended affordability reverter: title (except the library unit, which goes to Brooklyn Public Library) reverts to the City at the end of the regulatory period.

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

Floor area × efficiency ÷ average home size. Efficiency 0.7–0.85; average home 514–599 sq ft. Assumptions and their basis.

What binds first

Dwelling unit limit

The dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) holds the site to at most 140 homes, fewer than its floor area could hold at the smaller home sizes in the range. Floor area still limits the size of the building.

What the neighborhood asked for

Brooklyn Community Board 11's formal requests to the City, from its annual Statement of Community District Needs and Budget Requests.

Brooklyn Community Board 11's FY2027 budget requests include none in the categories shown here (housing, older adults, child care, libraries, health, community space, open space).

What gets in the way

Flags are flags, not verdicts. Each comes from a public layer, named in the sources.

  • Caution

    1 of 2 lots has a building on it

    Block 6343 lot 64 has a building on record with 14,900 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1900 (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 that building stands.

  • Note

    An optional rule could allow more floor area

    In R5 districts, the predominantly built-up area rules (ZR 23-71) allow 1.65 FAR for standard residences on lots of up to 1.5 acres, on blocks that meet tests of building coverage and of the building types along them in 1987. Public data cannot settle those tests, so the figures leave the option out.

  • Note

    Rezoning under discussion

    New Utrecht Library and Affordable Housing: rezoning assumed by the RFP (C4-5D along 86th Street, R6A along 85th Street, MIH area). No application has been filed. The figures above use current zoning, not the proposed zoning.

Nearest subway station: 18 Av (D), 350 ft 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.

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 both of its lots; 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 both lots and their area (47,588 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 71,382; on a qualifying residential site 95,176; community facility 95,176 sq ft), the homes (low 111, base 137, high 140), and the flags and what limits the site first.
