Home development proposal.
The City Council approved the proposal with stronger protections for the open space on the south site. It is now back with City Planning.
Our community and the Riverdale Nature Preservancy have been working on this issue since the Hebrew Home first proposed its plan in 2012. Strong community voice will make a difference.

NYC Council has approved the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) and Zoning for Quality and Affordability (ZQA) zoning text amendments.
The zoning amendments were presented to Bronx Community Board 8 in June 2015. Certain provisions ignored decades of gains in neighborhood preservation and environmental protection achieved by the Riverdale and wider NW Bronx communities.
The communities' thoughtful and persistent statements at hearings of the Community Board, City Planning Commission and City Council have resulted in extensive modification to the original proposals.
The 2012 Dishwasher Detergent and Nutrient Runoff Law prohibits the use of phosphorus fertilizers unless a new lawn is being established or a soil test shows that the lawn does not have enough phosphorus. Contact Lisa King at 518-402-8000 with questions.
