Chair Kevin Riley's zoning subcommittee cleared a short, businesslike agenda: approve two Brooklyn rezonings and a Staten Island text amendment, while laying over the Queens Ocean Crest/Bayswater item again. The substantive story is 1160 Flushing Avenue -- approved WITH MODIFICATIONS to shrink the rezoning area, because only the applicant signed an Evergreen IBZ agreement to keep industrial uses, and an unmodified M1-5 risked undermining North Brooklyn's industrial character. The vote passed 7-0, held open briefly for Councilmember Moya to arrive and cast his yes.
