The presentation provides several reasons why the proposed rezoning is appropriate for the area.

86th Street is a 100-foot wide major thoroughfare that can handle additional density
Current R3-2 zoning is unproductive for a wide street (FAR of 0.5 for residential, 1.0 for community facility)
Proposed R6B zoning would allow for a modest increase in density (FAR of 2.2)
Existing R6B zoning adjacent to the proposed rezoning area supports the change
Proximity to subway system (two blocks east) provides good transportation access

Next site is the area map, which I think well demonstrates why the rezoning is appropriate.

86th Street here is an a wide street and a 100 feet wide and extra wide street and a major thoroughfare in the area and can easily handle handle the additional density.

The existing r 32 is is a very is not really productive for a wide street given that the residential FAR is only 0.5 community facility FAR is only 1.

In addition to that, there exists an R6B adjacent to the proposed rezoning area.

1:46:38

This would merely be stretched to cover the site and these other sites, as well as the subway system, which is exists two blocks to the East 1 4th Avenue.

1:46:46

So transportation in the area is good.

The wide street condition supports the modest additional density, which would be allowed pursuant to the R Six B, which would be currently a 2.2 f a r.
