The presentation provides context for the rezoning proposal, highlighting the appropriateness of the requested changes given the surrounding area characteristics. The site is located at the intersection of two wide streets, Steinway Street and 23rd Avenue.
- The area already includes R6A and R7A zonings within several blocks of the site
- The site is one block south of Ditmars Boulevard, a major corridor in the area
- Existing commercial uses along the intersection would become complying and conforming with the proposed commercial overlay

The next several slides, including the next slide, show maps of the area.

This is an existing R Five D.

There is are both commercial overlays along portions of the site that this would allow for commercial overlay over the entirety of the intersection, which would conform with the surrounding character along both the story and 23rd.

Sorry, with regards to both Steinway as well as 23rd Avenue.

The next slide is the tax map, which shows with more specificity, the area that proposed rezoning.

Again, the four corners of this intersection.

And I think the next slide, which is the area map really well demonstrates why this is entirely appropriate.

We've got Steinway Street here at 80 Feet Align Street Per zoning, as well as 23rd Avenue, which is Align Street.

So, really, the confluence of 2 wide streets in this area, not entirely common, but definitely allows for the moderate step up in density as requested at the site.

In addition, there are primary zoneings within the area of the site that resulted in r 6a and even r 7a within several blocks of the site.
0:28:44
Additionally, we are one block south of Dittmar Street with along with 23rd Avenue or both major corridors within the area.

In addition, the commercial uses that are already along this intersection will become complying and conforming with regards to the proposed commercial overlay.
