Councilmember Ressler supports this application.
The third and final vote concerns LUs 125 and 126 regarding 132 Melrose Street mixed-use residential rezoning proposal in Councilmember Gutierrez's district.
Applicant is seeking to develop a mixed-use residential project in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
That would have approximately 18 apartments, of which approximately five apartments would be permanently affordable.
The proposal involves two actions.
The first is a zoning map amendment to change the existing manufacturing M1-1 district to a mixed-use district consisting of a paired M1-2A district with a residential R6A district.
The second action is a zoning tax amendment to map a mandatory inclusionary housing.
We are recommending one modification to remove MIH option two, which will ensure the affordable apartments are provided at an average of 60% AMI.
Councilmember Gutierrez supports this application as modified.
