A short Brooklyn zoning subcommittee session moves two items. First, a Franklin Street guest house gets approval for a sidewalk cafe with the local council member's blessing. Then the marquee item: the 273 Avenue U rezoning in Gravesend, lifting the area from R5B to R6A for a four-story, roughly nine-unit mixed-use building. The applicant's modification removes MIH Option 2 and adds MIH Option 1 , a quiet but real change to which affordability formula applies. Council Member Treyger backs it as modified. Both items clear: one 5-0, the other 6-0, no abstentions.
