Council Member Kristy Marmorato questions the development team about the zoning change from R61 to R73 for the 1601 Bronxdale Avenue site. The discussion covers the reasons for the zoning change, the proposed building heights, and how the development would fit within the existing community.
• The zoning change from R61 to R73 was due to the addition of a 90-foot wide boulevard, which required adjusting the FAR to maintain the proposed floor area. • The development team explains that buildings could reach up to 25 stories with bonuses for providing open spaces and other amenities. • Concerns are raised about how buildings of this scale would fit within the existing Van Ness and Morris Park community.
