Many Community Board activities involve the design or operation of public spaces - parks, streets, sidewalks, traffic signs, street lights, landmark areas... Other Board responsibilites revolve around how land is used, whether for residential, commercial, industrial, or other purposes. Still other duties have the Board estimating the need for education, parks, police, sanitation, and other resources. These responsibilities are also facilitated by the use of maps.
This "Map Room" will link the community to a variety of resources that might help us understand a need and work toward a solution. Let us know what maps you'd like to see added next.

Queens Community Board 3 seeks to engage what is perhaps the nation's most diverse community in the governance process. In our effort to identify communities and needs, the board has commissioned CMAP to develop the below maps.
A few WARNINGS: Read each map's key carefully. Some show a group's population as a percentage of the overall population (e.g., Asian, African American, White), while others show a group's distribution as part of a broad ethnic group (e.g., Dominicans as a percentage of all Hispanics).
Also, note that the maps may not reflect today's reality. For example, like all the maps, the Bangladeshi map is based on the 2000 U.S. Census and shows few living in the community. However, a cursory review of 73rd Street and vicinity presents abundant signs of a vibrant Bangladeshi community.
For more demographic data, visit the Department of City Planning's population website, at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/census/census.shtml/.

Zoning seeks to regulate the way land is used (housing, factories, schools, etc.), building size, and population density. Good zoning regulations respond to changing demographic and economic conditions and help implement planning policy.
New York City enacted the nation's first comprehensive zoning resolution in 1916. Today's official zoning maps are paper one's maintained by the City Planning Department. But unofficial digital maps for Queens Community District 3 are available from City Planning's server.
NOTE: Zoning maps don't match district boundaries and Community District 3 is spread over four maps. Click an area of interest on the below map and a zoning map for that section of the district will be sent. The .pdf map sent will enable you to zoom in on your interest area. Detailed explanations of the map codes and additional information about zoning is available at the City Planning Department's website.
IMPORTANT: The city's up-to-date zoning maps are maintained by the City Planning Department in paper format. These digital maps are provided for general planning purposes only.
