Brooklyn's 395 Flatbush Avenue Extension rezoning sailed through with the 100% AMI tier scrapped to target lower incomes and $1M committed over 10 years to Fort Greene Park, while two Queens rezonings were trimmed mid-application, studios eliminated, MIH Option 2 struck for Option 3. The land-use calendar passed 49-0. The friction came elsewhere: Intro 421-A and Intro 502-B, the quadrennial commission to review elected-official salaries, splintered the body, with Paladino, Carr and others voting no on their own potential raises.

Passed, but not unanimously , Gennaro, Morano and several other members peeled off to vote no specifically on this item. Pierina Ana Sanchez explained it as a technical cleanup tied to the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity text amendment, fixing a misalignment between HPD's housing maintenance code and the zoning text.
