City of Yes for Housing Opportunity is the largest residential zoning reform in NYC since 1961, adopted December 5, 2024. It introduced R11/R12 high-density districts, Universal Affordability Preference (UAP), ancillary dwelling units (ADUs), parking-minimum reform through Transit Zones, expanded mandatory inclusionary housing, and new M-A mixed-use manufacturing districts.

The City of Yes for Housing Opportunity amendments took effect December 5, 2024 — the third and largest of the three City of Yes waves passed during the Adams administration.

Housing Opportunity created the R11, R11A, and R12 residential districts (FAR up to 18.0), plus 15 new M-A mixed-use manufacturing districts (e.g., M1-1A, M1-7A, M2-1A) that allow residential development on industrial-zoned land subject to performance standards.

Universal Affordability Preference (UAP) is a Housing Opportunity program letting developers exceed standard FAR limits when they include permanently affordable housing. UAP is available outside designated Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) areas and complements the existing MIH program.
