Riley outlines four remaining Monitor Point land use actions and modifications
Riley explains that LU-70 (loading berth special permit) was withdrawn by the applicant and will be filed, then details the four remaining actions: zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment for MIH, large-scale special permit, and city map change, along with Council modifications to increase affordable units and maximize public open space.
One of those, a special permit to modify loading requirements, has been withdrawn by the applicant, so we will be voting on a motion to file LU-70.
There are four remaining actions.
First, a zoning map amendment to change an M3-1 district to an R6 and R8 district with a C2-4 commercial overlay.
Second, a zoning text amendment to map a mandatory inclusionary housing area.
and to modify various regulations for waterfront blocks in the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Waterfront Access Plan, and waivers available for large-scale general development.
Third, a special permit to establish a large-scale general development with modified bulk and waterfront regulations.
And fourth, a change to the city map to remove a park designation from the western portion of the development site.
The Council's modification will include to change the large-scale special permit approval drawings to facilitate the increase in affordable units, as well as modifying the waiver associated with the required waterfront public access area
to maximize the public open space on the site.
