The presentation details the specifications of the proposed development at 123-12 Sutphin Boulevard, including changes made to the original proposal based on community input.
- Revised proposal: 5-story building with a setback 6th floor for recreational use, reduced from original 8-story plan.
- Total building area reduced from 87,000 to 81,000 square feet, with 10,000 sq ft for church use and 77,000 sq ft for residential use.
- 120 residential units (down from 125), including 30 affordable units.
- Building height reduced from 82 feet to 67 feet.
- Changes made possible by recent City of Yes modifications, allowing for reduced height without major program disruption.

The next slide are the numbers behind the proposed development.

We would note that there have been many conversations with community members, including several meetings with community board twelve and local stakeholders, many of whom have submitted materials and consent letters in favor.

And so the original proposal was for an eight story plus cellar building.
0:08:38
The proposal now is for a full five story building with a deeply setback six story merely for accessory recreational use, primarily glass enclosed structure on the six story, which would allow for health and wellness classes and fitness classes.
0:08:55
The building itself reduced from over 87,000 square feet to 81,000 square feet, allowing for a 10,000 square foot cellar and ground floor community facility for the church, as well as 77,000 square feet of residential use above.

The building would reach a total height of 67 feet.
0:09:15
This is as opposed to 82 feet as originally proposed.
0:09:19
There would additionally be bike and vehicular parking spaces.
0:09:22
The units generated would be 120 units versus the original 125 with 30 affordable units.
0:09:29
I think it's worth noting that the developers and the church worked very hard with the community and with Speaker Adams and received really good input in terms of what was really appropriate for the site.
0:09:42
And I would also add that given the recent changes pursuant to City of Yes, we're able to reduce the height of the building without a major disruption in the program or in the number of units.
0:09:52
So this is really a victory for everybody.

The next slide is the zoning map, which although challenging to read, you can kind of see there's R 6 both to the north and south of the site.
