## Strategy

We feel that it is imperative that zoning regulations in Flushing establish a realistic and effective standard for developing both high-performance, sustainable buildings and a healthful living environment. Our proposal for zoning regulation is simple: consolidate growth and promote green strategies.

- All new construction must receive a LEED Certificate. All new construction that receives a higher LEED rating will benefit from Public Assistance as noted in chart to the right.

- A FAR bonus of 4.0 will be rewarded to developers that renovate buildings as opposed to tear down approaches.

- One bike rack space is required for every parking space over and above the minimum 1300 car spaces required on tax lot 4,978.

- The waterfront area will be capped and remediated, replaced with surface parking to serve the adjacent pier park and surrounding commercial areas.
