New York Law Incentive Zoning, Open Space Preservation, Zoning, Site Design Standards EPA Region 2 Municipality- City of New York Residence District Regulations, and Commercial District Regulations Summary The City of New York created incentive zoning in 1961 to acquire available open space in densely packed commercial or business districts.
