Council Member Bottcher inquires about the implications of the proposal on tall buildings with few apartments and the distinction between rental and condo construction. Chair Garodnick clarifies the affordability requirements and the tendency towards rental construction.

• Garodnick explains that additional bonuses in medium or high-density areas must be entirely affordable.
• He notes that buildings with single apartments per floor typically don't take advantage of these programs.
• Bottcher and Garodnick agree that these programs tend to encourage rental construction rather than condos.
