Approved as modified 6-0-0 as part of Harlem's '145' project, the largest housing project in the neighborhood in a generation. The modification reshuffles the CPC-approved buildings A, B and C , shrinking A and B in height and density to enlarge building C , with the restrictive declaration updated to lock in maximized family-sized units and a community benefits agreement, all backed by Councilmember Yusef Salaam.
Approved as modified 6-0-0. This is the Coney/Colony Development Plan in Councilmember Brannan's district , a narrow set of city map changes (including demapping a street) meant to let the site compete for one of up to three downstate state gaming facility licenses; today's vote covers the map changes only, not the gaming proposal itself.
Approved as modified 6-0-0. The North 7th Avenue Rezoning sits in Councilmember Gutierrez's district, who supported the application as modified.
Approved 6-0-0. This is the Marcus Garvey Boulevard LSGD in Councilmember Osse's district, who supported the application.
