The applicant is seeking to develop a mixed-use affordable housing project in Coney Island, Brooklyn.
That would have approximately 408 apartments, of which 122 would be permanently affordable.

With two, to a residential R7-3 district with a C2-4 commercial overlay.
The second action is a zoning tax amendment to map a mandatory inclusionary housing area.
The other actions are for two special permits that would provide bulk waivers, flexibility in the distribution of the bulk, and reduce the minimum required distance between buildings.
The second special permit is to reduce the required parking.
Councilmember Santososo supports this proposal.
