Chair Louis presents 69-67 108th Street rezoning vote and modification
Chair Louis introduces LUs 137 and 138 for 69-67 108th Street in Forest Hills, describing 59 apartments with up to 18 affordable, R1-2A to R7D and C2-4 changes, and recommends removing MIH option 2 and adding option 3.
The fifth and final vote concerns LUs 137 and 138 regarding the 69-67 108th Street rezoning proposal in Councilmember Shulman's district.
Applicant is seeking to develop a mixed-use residential project in Forest Hills, Queens.
That would have approximately 59 apartments with up to 18 permanently affordable apartments.
The proposal involves two actions.
The first is a zoning map amendment to change the existing residential R1-2A district to a residential R7D district with a C2-4 commercial overlay.
The second action is a zoning text amendment to map a mandatory inclusionary housing area.
We are recommending one modification to remove MIH option 2 to add option 3,
which will ensure the affordable apartments are provided at a lower rent, affordable to families with household incomes at an average of either 40 or 60% AMI.
Councilmember Shulman supports this application as modified.
