Two Bed-Stuy affordable-housing rezonings (1289 Atlantic Avenue, 14 stories/~112 units; 281-311 Marcus Garvey, ~155 units) sailed toward approval with Council Member Osse's full backing. But the day's friction was in Harlem: at 15-21 West 124th Street, attorney Jay Siegel of Greenberg Traurig pitched a market-rate building with a 17-space garage, citing R6A parking rules. Yusef Salaam pressed on why so much parking sits across from a park and whether any units could be made affordable , the answer was 'it's market rate, there's no MIH.' Salaam closed the hearing and laid the item over.

From the room

“The fifth action is to approve a property tax exemption that will facilitate the preservation of the existing building and creation of the senior housing.”
— Land Use Division staff

“Sixty two of the proposed one hundred and twelve units of housing, which is more than half in this development, would be affordable to households making less than sixty percent AMI”
— Chi A. Ossé

“R6A zoning districts, which have a 50 percent parking requirement, would be treated in the special hundred and twenty fifth stetre district as if they were in R seven districts, which has a much lesser parking requirement of thirty percent”
— Jay Siegel

“a zoning map amendment changing an M11 district to a C45X and R six B districts and a text amendment to map an MIH area for options one and two”
— Lisa Orantia

Heard the rezoning for 341 10th Street in Park Slope, a mixed-use project in Council Member Vila's district expected to add roughly 300 new units while preserving 154 and adding ground-floor commercial and open space. Staff flagged it as a complicated case involving five actions because the site includes an existing building and sits over subway tracks.
