I will now open the public hearing on LUs number 212 and 213 relating to the 441 and 467 Prospect Avenue rezoning proposal in council member Hanif's district in Brooklyn.

The proposal seeks to redevelop the commercial site of the Arrow Linen Company into approximately 244 apartments.

Arrow Linen relocated its commercial laundry facilities, which served many of the city's restaurants, to new facilities on Long Island in 2,013.

The rezoning will also involve the mapping of mandatory inclusionary housing, and approximately 61 of the units would be affordable.
