From the Queens Chronicle:The city’s preliminary plans to rezone portions of Richmond Hill and Woodhaven have drawn concern from area residents and business community members, who say they are worried the proposal could make it difficult for them to expand their buildings.
“This is not Bayside,” Darmin Bachu, chairman of the Richmond Hill Economic Development Council, said at a meeting about the rezoning last week. “Immigrants want to move in here, and they want as much housing as they can get. They want to celebrate this place in large numbers, and the business community wants the highest zoning it can get.”
The rezoning would emphasize keeping the one- and two-family houses in the heavily residential areas in an effort to deter the multi-family units that have been built in recent years, according to city officials.
It would also funnel higher density housing and commercial developments to places such as Jamaica and Liberty avenues, [City Planner] John Young said.

“This is not Bayside,”
You can say that again!
Wow, forward thinking. Investing in the future of Richmond Hill. Stagnation is for someplace else.
It looks like the colorful, diverse, vibrant folks have infiltrated the local development council.
What's next native huts and a safari theme park?
Local development council or sham org of misfit scam artist? Follow the money.

More Paki Noodles...great !
No joke about the huts, those will come soon enough. These people already put them up for wedding ceremony's and honeymoons...along with some live cows.
Like parts of Queens Village the whole area stinks of curry cooking during summer.
How can anything capable of human consumption eat stink that bad ?
check out this crap in Bayside:
35 th avenue at bell blvd.
42 avenue at francis lewis blvd.
Anonymous #6, my next door neighbors
eat that foul smelling type food. I almost feel like passing out when I walk outside sometimes.
They installed ventilation fans in the basement, they run some kind of catering business because I see empty
boxes of 5 lb bag of potatoes, containers of oil, etc.
"How can anything capable of human consumption eat stink that bad ?"
Funny, my WASP father used to say that about garlic eaters....and he loved Chinese and Mexican food.
Better to keep the crap we have rather than let people try to build new crap. And how can you not like curry? It's one of the great cuisines of the world. Better than steak and potatoes with coca colas!
“Immigrants want to move in here, and they want as much housing as they can get. They want to celebrate this place in large numbers, and the business community wants the highest zoning it can get.”
In other words, they want to live in a Ghetto.
fantastic people we are importing, no???
curry is used to hide rancid/stale food products (meats and produce).
Oh man, the winner for redneck queens goes to Queens Crap comment-ers.
Can we get rid of the racist criticism and stick to real criticism? It seems like you're the Queens-ites that missed your move to NC/Long Island.
Apart from the racism here. The Richmond Hill EDC is full of small business owners/apt landlords (from South Richmond Hill, specifically the Lefferts Blvd. stretch) that want to advance their business. They live in the community, but as far as living vs. business, the money is what pays out, money is what they're in love with.
More Apts = more money for slum landlords that comprise the board of RHEDC. The merchants want to build their storefront to look more like a mini-town for their community, however, I think they lack the real no-how of a balanced integration, and that's so sad. They're going to overbuild and turn it into a shantytown if they get their way.
Also, they want to build, but they want to be above the law, above city planning, and above building codes. Very sad.
I don't want this to be confused with saying the Board of the RHEDC is all corrupt, as some of them also tried considerably hard to raise census numbers within the neighborhood. Too bad that went no where.
The city should rezone Lewis Pancham house and all the houses Ravi Persaud and his family has. The Persaud, and Motilall family owns most of the houses in Richmond Hill and Ozone Park. However, the City is doing the right thing. As a matter of fact this this the American Land. Go back to Guyana n fight your new president Ramator for a very high Zone.
