City officials approved the major Gowanus rezoning plan Tuesday, the first change to zoning codes in that area in 60s years.

The plan will commit $200 million to fund renovations of all apartments in the Gowanus and Wyckoff Houses.

It will also help the creation of thousands of affordable homes.

Of the more than 8,000 new homes to result from the rezoning, about 3,000 will be permanently affordable.

One of the residential developments will include a new public school and a new park, and serve families with an income of $51,000 or less.

At least 140 homes will be set aside for formerly homeless New Yorkers.

Local City Councilman and Comptroller-elect Brad LanderBrad Lander appeared on NY1's "Inside City Hall" to discuss the approved plan and the importance of community inclusion.

"I think it is great to have such a robust planning process,” Lander said. “It's not a coincidence that the largest rezoning in the de Blasio administration — 8,000 new units, 3,000 affordable and the first neighborhood rezoning to map mandatory inclusionary housing in a whiter, wealthier area — still has one of the broadest coalitions of support for any rezoning that we've seen."

Lander went on to say people will accept growth if they are a part of the planning process.
