White Plains Road Neighborhood Plan

The plan targets a section of White Plains Road from Adee Avenue to the Bronx/Mount Vernon border, including parts of Gun Hill Road and East 233rd Street, an area well-served by public transit like the 2 and 5 subway lines, Metro-North, and various buses. The corridor features mostly low-rise commercial buildings and some mid-rise apartments built before the 1960s. Rezoning efforts between 2005 and 2011 promoted growth along major corridors while limiting it in lower-density areas, but since these occurred before the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program, they do not require the inclusion of permanently affordable housing.If this lateste rezoning effort passes, it will include a portion of mandatoty affordable housing.

This plan was launched on May 21, 2025 and will likely be voted on sometime in 2027 or 2028.
