A brisk Land Use Committee session chaired by Rafael Salamanca did three things at once. It approved a Brooklyn rezoning (C 220285 ZMK) changing R5 to R6A to clear the way for a new six-story mixed-use building. It moved to disapprove a Queens map change (C 210323 MMQ) that sought to legalize a retaining wall encroaching on Third Avenue, citing reasons the zoning subcommittee chairs had already laid out. And it declared a Northern Boulevard commercial-overlay item (LU 230) void, filing it. All of it cleared on a single 12-0 vote with no abstentions.
“we will vote to approve LUs two three seven and two three eight for the sienxte fifty-six”
— Rafael Salamanca, Jr.
“reasons stated by Chair Riley and Chair Paladino at the zoning subcommittee meeting earlier today”
— Committee (Counsel/staff)
“joined by Councilmembers Moya, Rivera, Chair Lewis, Chair Riley, Abreo, Brooke Powers, Botcher,”

— Committee (Counsel/staff)
The proposed commercial overlay at 189-10 Northern Boulevard in Councilmember Paladino's Queens district was withdrawn, taking LU 0230 off the table.
Heard as a demapping of a stretch of 43rd Avenue in Councilmember Paladino's Queens district, brought by an applicant seeking to legalize a retaining wall that had encroached onto the public street.
