South Jamaica Rising Open Door Scattered Sites (Accelerated UDAAP)
This site can hold about 2 homes under the standard zoning maximum. The limits on building types (ZR 22-122) hold it to that number (see the notes below). The City's LIFT tracker lists 33 homes. That is more than the 2 homes the building-type limits (ZR 22-122) allow under current zoning on the lot under the tracker's map point. The project's land may be larger than this lot.

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.
Project's lots not known; the tracker maps it to one lot
The City's tracker maps this 33-home scattered-site homeownership project to one vacant 2,400 sq ft City lot at 90-43 Desarc Road in Ozone Park. As of September 25, 2026, none of the City documents checked lists the project's lots, so the other sites, and whether this lot is one of them, are not known.
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.
- Lot area
- 2,400 sq ft
- Zoning district
- R4-1
- Maximum residential floor area
- 2,400 sq ft2,400 sq ft × 1.00 FAR
- Maximum community facility floor area
- 4,800 sq ft2,400 sq ft × 2.00 FAR
Homes, as a range
| Case | Homes | How |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 2 | 2,400 sq ft × 0.7 ÷ 599 sq ft |
| Base | 2 | 2,400 sq ft × 0.8 ÷ 553 sq ft = 3, limited to 2 by building type (ZR 22-122 allows single- or two-family detached, semi-detached or zero lot line buildings, at 2 homes each; room for 1 building, since each allowed building type needs at least 1,700 sq ft of lot area (ZR 23-10, 23-11)) |
| High | 2 | 2,400 sq ft × 0.85 ÷ 514 sq ft = 3, limited to 2 by building type (ZR 22-122 allows single- or two-family detached, semi-detached or zero lot line buildings, at 2 homes each; room for 1 building, since each allowed building type needs at least 1,700 sq ft of lot area (ZR 23-10, 23-11)) |
Floor area × efficiency ÷ average home size. Efficiency 0.7–0.85; average home 514–599 sq ft. Assumptions and their basis.
What binds first
Building types
The building-type limits (ZR 22-122) hold the site to at most 2 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 gets in the way
Flags are flags, not verdicts. Each comes from a public layer, named in the sources.
- Caution
One- and two-family buildings only
ZR 22-122 limits housing on zoning lots that are not qualifying residential sites to certain one- and two-family buildings (R4-1: single- or two-family detached, semi-detached or zero lot line buildings). The site can hold at most 2 homes that way: ZR 22-122 allows single- or two-family detached, semi-detached or zero lot line buildings, at 2 homes each; room for 1 building, since each allowed building type needs at least 1,700 sq ft of lot area (ZR 23-10, 23-11). The homes range above applies the limit.
- 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.
Nearest subway station: Aqueduct Racetrack (A), 0.5 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.

A separate calculation, written from the method page and run on the same downloaded City data on September 25, 2026, reproduced the lot area (2,400 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 2,400; community facility 4,800 sq ft), the homes (low 2, base 2, high 2), and the flags and what limits the site first.
