Mandatory environmental remediation plan will be required to be approved prior to any new construction permitting, with all remediation to be performed under the supervision of and based upon guidelines issued by either the NY City Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) E-Designation Program or the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Brownfield Cleanup Program. Final sign-off by OER or DEC for the completion of remediation will be required prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

As part of the rezoning, FWRA will be improving the current Waterfront Access Plan (WAP) by doubling the width of the required shore public walkway (from 20' to 40'), lengthening it by 400 linear feet to the North and also increasing the number upland connections from 3 to 4. FWRA will also be substantially increasing the total amount of required open space by 120% (3.0 acres to 6.6 acres). The waterfront and open space will both be publicly accessible while being privately funded and maintained.

Privately funded major infrastructure additions and upgrades to the existing sewer and storm water drainage systems, along with the removal of contaminated soils currently migrating from the development lots into the creek will provide environmental relief to Flushing Creek, one of the most heavily polluted bodies of water In New York City.

To alleviate traffic congestion in Downtown Flushing and improve pedestrian access to the waterfront, the new zoning will create 124,000 square feet of publicly accessible streets and sidewalks which will be privately funded and maintained.

The northern-most manufacturing and residential districts will provide Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH).
