The Old Astoria Neighborhood Association (OANA) is advocating for a comprehensive neighborhood rezoning of the area south of Broadway in Astoria, known officially as the Ravenswood Rezoning. Unlike piecemeal ULURPs, neighborhood-wide rezonings offer the opportunity to integrate land use planning with broader quality-of-life considerations—such as housing, transit, green space, and economic opportunity.

With prior rezonings in Dutch Kills and Astoria North already implemented, the Ravenswood area presents a unique opportunity to study neighborhood rezoning impacts and design a framework that promotes inclusive growth, community participation, and sustainable urban development. OANA seeks support in analyzing current zoning conditions, studying previous rezonings, and crafting recommendations for a community-informed, equity-driven rezoning proposal.
