City Planning Commission advances Mayor Adams’ ‘City of Yes’ zoning changes for small businesses

The City Planning Commission on Wednesday voted to advance a suite of zoning changes being pushed by Mayor Eric Adams aimed at making it easier for small businesses to operate in the five boroughs.

Given the vote, the proposed zoning changes, dubbed the “City of Yes for Economic Opportunity,” will now go before the City Council for final approval. The council will hold a public hearing and vote in the coming months.
