Chair Farah Louis ran a hybrid Subcommittee on Zoning & Franchises hearing on three applicant-driven rezonings across Queens and Staten Island. Two were sleepy: a 50-20 108th Street mixed-use project (Akerman, ~196 units) and a 17-story St. George building on Richmond Terrace (Eric Palatnik) where the applicant predicted nobody would oppose, and nobody signed up to. The 164th Street project (Akerman, 80 units, no MIH) drew the only fight: Flushing residents Marva Dudley and a speaker named Joe testified the developer never reached out, the site sits 'beyond the transit area,' and the neighborh
“So up to 24 of the apartments would be permanently affordable depending on the affordability options selected.”

— Eric Palatnik
“including multiple local and express buses along 1 64th Street as well as the e f train at Parsons Boulevard.”
— Leah Vallone
Heard as one of three rezonings on the day's calendar: an applicant seeking to build a mixed-use residential building of roughly 80 apartments on 164th Street in Fresh Meadows, with MIH to be mapped. It sits in Council Member Gennaro's district and moved through the zoning map and text amendment review.
Heard a Flushing rezoning at 50-20 108th Street in Council Member Thomas-Henry's district, where the applicant proposes two mixed-use residential buildings facing each other across the street, advanced via a zoning map and text amendment.
Heard the 198-208 Richmond Terrace mixed-use residential rezoning on Staten Island, located in Majority Whip Hanks's district , the lone Staten Island item among the day's three rezoning proposals.
Q: Do the other (neighboring) buildings have any parking, and how much?
Public testimony: 3 in favor
