Most of the day's slate sailed through: a 23-story office tower at 500 Kent on the Williamsburg waterfront, deeply-affordable Brooklyn housing at 712 Myrtle and 3033 Avenue V, a parking-cut storage conversion at 197 Berry, and 108 single-family homes on Staten Island's Prince's Point.

Heard for the 712 Myrtle project in Bed-Stuy, this rezoning of lots 20-24 and part of lot 25 from M1-2 to an R7D/C2-4 district would yield roughly 41 apartments with a mandatory inclusionary housing mapping so part is affordable; the applicant noted R7D already extends for blocks to the east from the 2012 North Bedford-Stuyvesant rezoning.
