Dabar Development's Dawana Williams pitched 1921 Atlantic Avenue as a 100%-affordable, 236-unit Bed-Stuy project won through HPD's MWBE Building Opportunity RFP, with formerly-homeless units, ACMH supportive services, and rooftop rainwater/aquaponic features. Council Member Ampry-Samuel pressed hard on building-service-worker wages, local hiring, and training; the team admitted the wage plan wasn't defined and that prevailing wage left 'very little cash flow.' A resident, Jessica, warned the developer hadn't made commitments and cited Espinal's Intro 1321. The subcommittee also heard a Lander-
“council member espinal has introduced a bill intro 1321 that would close the loophole in the city's existing prevailing wage law”
— Jessica
“seeks to eliminate the MX10 special district, change the underlying underlying manufacturing district to a residential district”
— Genevieve Mitchell
“set aside for retail community space uh for community programming uh that would go specifically for senior and veterans”
— Francisco P. Moya
“this rezoning will not result in the creation of any new additional floor area as the underlying R5 residential disk zoning will not be affected”
— Adam Rothkrug

Took up the 809 Atlantic Avenue rezoning in Brooklyn, upzoning an R7A/C2-4 district to R9/C2-5 and R6A with a new MIH area and two special permits modifying bulk and waiving residential parking. The action clears the way for two mixed-use buildings of 4 and 29 stories alongside restoration of the landmark Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew.
Heard the application to map a new C2-4 commercial overlay within an existing R5 district at 600 McDonald Avenue and 317 Avenue C in Borough Park, legalizing a commercial banquet/catering facility that has operated for roughly a decade in the combined cellars of two adjacent school buildings. The zoning issue surfaced when one of the buildings returned to the BSA for an enlargement; no housing is proposed, and the applicant had believed catering was accessory to the congregation's mission.

The 245 East 53rd Street rezoning in Manhattan came up, adding a new C2-5 commercial overlay within an existing R8B district to permit ground-floor commercial use in a new six-story building. The overlay also brings 25 of the 27 lots in the area into conformance with their existing commercial use.
