Like many North Brooklyn residents, council candidate Evan Thies is still waiting for the levels of affordable housing the city promised in its Williamsburg-Greenpoint rezoning of 2005.

Thies worked on that rezoning for Councilman David Yassky, but said he is now disappointed the city and private developers have failed to come through with enough affordable housing to offset the building of countless market-rate units.

To make sure that sort of thing doesn’t happen again, Thies is proposing the City Council review rezoning projects every three years, to make sure they are living up to their purpose.

“There’s no way of keeping the city responsible for making good on promises they’ve made,” said Thies, who announced his proposal in an interview with the Star.

He is running for the 33rd Council District seat being vacated by Yassky.

“I believe we need to have an active land-use review process for all the [city’s completed rezonings] to determine exactly what has worked and what hasn’t,” Thies said.

If elected, he said he would propose an amendment to the land use review process giving the Department of City Planning (DCP) authority to go back and conduct a cost-benefit analysis of all completed rezonings.

Under the plan, Thies said DCP would be mandated to review rezonings every three years, starting three years after they go into effect.

These reviews would assess how much affordable housing and parkland has actually been built by developers, and evaluate their commitment to infrastructure improvements that benefit local residents, Thies said.

Thies did not say what penalties developers might incur if they are found to have fallen short of their stated promises to communities where they build.

He said that after eight years of unfettered development under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, residents in North Brooklyn, across the 33rd District, and elsewhere in the city will start demanding results.

“Over the next few years we’re going to have to debate” whether rezonings have paid off for lower- and moderate-income New Yorkers, Thies said.

He said in the 33rd District alone, the city should review the rezonings of Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Fourth Avenue in Park Slope to see how much affordable housing has been built, as well as the rezoning of Downtown Brooklyn to assess how many jobs have been created.

“I think the public is going to be in favor of a reform of the land use review process,” said Thies. He said if public pressure for accountability grows, it could foster a climate of compromise on development issues between the City Council and Bloomberg Administration.

“Even if the city continues to screw us on what they promise, it will be on a very public stage,” if his plan is enacted, Thies said. “And I’ll take that fight. I think that’s a fight we can win.”
