City Planning Commission Public Meeting
QUEENS | CD 12
141-05 109th Ave Rezoning
South Jamaica | Acres | 56 Units
Michael Paladino of Veris Residential has come up with an innovative idea - an elementary school and housing units combined into one project.
141-05 109th Ave is a 4-story mixed-use building that will feature 56 units, including 14 income-restricted units. And the unit breakdown is as follows: 5 studios, 26 1-bedrooms, 22 2-bedrooms, and 3 3-bedrooms. Oh, and 39 parking spaces.
Now, this project has gone through some changes in its early days. They've listened to the Community Board feedback and made adjustments accordingly.
For example, the facade went from modern to a more traditional look that hopefully fits right in better with the neighborhood.
They also made the following changes:
Of course, the commission had some questions, and one of them was about potential stormwater runoff.
The team responded that they’ve included bioswales in the design to address any concerns.

City Planning Commission Review Session
BROOKLYN | CD 11
1421 86th Street Rezoning
Bath Beach | Acres | 57 Units
Romantique Double Diamond Inc., a limousine company, has put forth a proposal for a mixed-use project in the heart of Bath Beach, Brooklyn. This prime location is strategically placed right across from the Dyker Beach golf course and park, and it's sure to make an impact in the market.
Now, let me break it down for you. We're talking about a private application for a zoning map amendment from an R4 C-22 district to an R7, a C 24 district, and a zoning text amendment to Appendix F. These actions will pave the way for the development of 43,000 SF residential space, featuring 57 dwelling units and 1500 SF of ground floor commercial space.
As expected, the commission had some questions. They wanted to know more about the size and distribution of the proposed apartments and how the zoning changes would impact auto-related businesses.
But the real question on everyone's mind - MIH Option One. The commission asked if it could be applied to address the area's need for deeper affordability.

BROOKLYN | CD 12
1233 57th Street Rezoning
Borough Park | 60 Units
When an R6 project comes in next to an R5, there is a period of overlap where the R6 needs to stay below 45’. This rule drives the step on the left side of the facade.
It’s an eight-story development containing 60 residential units. Here is the key point of the discussion:
Do you have an understanding of what the mix looks like as applied to each apartment classification on.
The distribution of the income restricted units has to reflect the distribution of the market rate units.
