Moved to approve the 74 Bogart Street rezoning, a private application shifting the site from M1-2 to M1-4A to make way for a new seven-story light-industrial building for fine-art storage. Local Council Member Gutierrez supports the application.
Voted to deny Ovi's Place's sidewalk-cafe revocable consent for three tables and nine chairs on Avenue H in Brooklyn. Council Member Lewis, echoing CB14, said the curved, congested corner near Brooklyn College is too narrow to safely accommodate seating alongside pedestrians, strollers, and wheelchair users, and noted the applicant never followed up after the hearing to address the concerns.

The 78-01 Queens Boulevard rezoning (M1-1 to R7X/C2-4 with a new MIH area) was approved with two changes: Tax Block 1538 between Cornish and Dongan Avenues was carved out of the rezoning to protect active industrial users who could otherwise be displaced, and MIH Option 2 was struck for the rezoned area.

Approved the city-sponsored One Long Island City Neighborhood Plan with modifications, striking MIH Option 2 across the entire rezoning area and leaving only Options 1 and 3. To ease the transition next to the NYCHA Queensbridge campus, new residential buildings within 100 feet of 21st Street were capped at 350 feet (rising to 750 feet beyond that), and Council Member Julie Won framed the vote as the payoff of two years of negotiation, 21 public events, and 8,000 doors canvassed at Queensbridge Houses.
