  ----------------------------------- 

The Department of City Planning has proposed the "South of Prospect Neighborhood Plan" to upzone McDonald Avenue (Fort Hamilton Parkway to Avenue I), Coney Island Avenue (Caton Avenue to Avenue I), and the surrounding areas.  
 
Upzoning will increase the amount of development by allowing more density (more dwelling units per acre) and taller buildings.
