Real estate firm wants to dissolve ParkVill

From the Queens Chronicle:

Faced with hefty mainten- ance bills and ever- rising mortgage payments, Parkway Village residents are mulling a proposal by a Manhattan real estate firm to dissolve the historic co-op and sell it to developers.

Parkway Villagers Mull Proposal To Sell Co-op

If enough shareholders give their consent, the firm would get exclusive brokerage rights to the property. But Prudential Douglas Elliman faces a slew of hurdles, starting with convincing enough residents to actually entertain the notion of a sale.

"According to Dana, residents would then have to bring a zoning consultant to the cooperative to evaluate the feasibility of upzoning its 9.1 acres to accommodate high-rises and other structures. The current zoning only allows three stories."

Huh? What? Why is this the answer to everything? Where did this come from?
