21-31 46th Avenue LIC rezoning hearing opens

I will now open the hearing on LUs 127 and 128 regarding the 21-3146th Avenue, a mixed-use residential rezoning proposal in Long Island City, Queens, in a Councilmember Juan's district.

The applicant is seeking a rezoning from a mixed-use M1-4.

R6B district to a residential R7X district with a commercial overlay to develop a mixed-use residential building that would have approximately 84 apartments.

Mandatory inclusionary housing would be mapped as part of this application, which would require approximately 21 of the apartments to be permanently affordable.

For anyone wishing to testify regarding this proposal remotely, if you have not already done so, you must register online visiting the council's website at council.nyc.gov backslash land use.

For anyone with us in person, please see one of the sergeant at arms to submit a speaker card.

I now recognize Councilmember Wands for her remarks.
