One-third of Jersey City's land area is zoned R-1, the Neighborhood Housing District. In the fall of 2023, the City Council passed its first major update to the R-1 District in 20 years. Many goals and improvements were incorporated, chief amongst them being the goal to expand housing opportunities and improve affordability. Property owners have a wide range of options regarding their homes and may now be able to add another dwelling unit. Renters should see new and different types of housing coming to their neighborhood, which is geared toward privacy and/or manageable costs. The Division of City Planning believes that the supply of housing can and should increase to balance the high demand for housing in the New York metro region. To help you learn more and answer your questions, Matt Ward, the Division of City Planning's supervising planner, will review the updates to the R-1 Zone and share the "What Can I Do With Residential Property" guidebook document. Matt Ward can be reached at mward@jcnj.org and by phone at 201-547-5883. - Brought to you by the office of Councilman Frank Educational Gilmore. @edu_gilmore

“It makes no sense to widen lanes that go to the same place. It’s not going to decrease congestion. If anything, it’s going to increase it. The environmental impact alone is cause for concern, for Bayonne and Jersey City. There are so many other things that we could be doing with these funds. It’s a huge waste of mone." Councilman Gilmore attended a rally in opposition to NJ Turnpike expansion project in Hudson County yesterday in Bayonee.
