Justin Jarboe presents on behalf of 6302 Fresh Pond Realty LLC, seeking rezoning from R5B to R6A with a C2-4 overlay and MIH designation.

Good day, Chair Lewis and Council Members.
I'm Justin Jarboe, and I'm here presenting 6302 Fresh Pond Realty, LLC, the owners and developers.
Of a proposed new building at 6302 Fresh Pond Road at the corner of Bleecker Street and Ridgewood Queens.
I'm joined online today by Adam Rothkrug, Zoning Council and Project Dr.
Tex, Morale Architecture.
In connection with the proposed development, we are seeking a rezoning of the subject property from the current R5B district to an R6A district and existing C14 commercial overlay will be modified to a C24 overlay.
The application also includes a text change designating the rezoning area as a mandatory inclusionary housing area, requiring that new construction include the provision for affordable housing.
It is anticipated that the approval will result in a new 54-unit mixed-use building with approximately 53,000 square feet in area and between 13 and 16 permanently affordable residences.
If you could advance to slide four, please.
