Chair Rafael Salamanca runs a fast, routine Land Use Committee calendar: thank the subcommittee chairs, recite the rezonings the Zoning Subcommittee already heard back on Jan 5, 2023, and roll them into one vote. Five items clear , including the Reformed Temple of Forest Hills R7D rezoning and HPD's $5M Restore NY grant for the 950-unit Gowanus Green affordable development , and the 446-448 Park Avenue Brooklyn rezoning advances only after the committee strikes MIH Option 2, a now-familiar Council modification. The quiet twist: while approving LUs 155 and 162, the same motion disapproves LUs 1

Approved with modifications for the 446-448 Park Avenue rezoning (LUs 158 and 159), shifting the site from M1-1 manufacturing to M1-4/R6A. The Council struck MIH Option 2 from the affordable-housing text while keeping the other option in place.

Approved with modifications for the Reform Temple of Forest Hills rezoning (LUs 160 and 161), upzoning the site from R1-2A to R7D. As with the Park Avenue case, the Council struck MIH Option 2 and retained the remaining affordability option.
Approved LU 162, an HPD request for a Council resolution backing a grant application under the Restore New York Communities Initiative. The grant supports the Gowanus Green affordable-housing project.
Approved as a pre-considered land use item, making a Landmarks technical correction to Council Resolution 261 of 2022 for the 34 Morningside Avenue ANCP cluster. The fix amends the previously approved resolution without altering the underlying affordable-housing approval.
