The proposal aims to preserve existing businesses on the site, with a focus on a beloved wholesale bakery.
- The MX District zoning allows the bakery to stay and potentially expand.
- A food shop selling the bakery's goods will also be maintained.
- There are five other manufacturing uses in the building that may have the option to relocate within the rebuilt structure.
- The mixed-use zoning ensures that existing businesses can remain zoning compliant rather than being grandfathered in.

The reason we're proposing the MX is so that there's this wholesale bakery in the Ground Floor.
0:12:54
It is a beloved bakery.
0:12:56
Everybody loves this bakery.
0:12:59
Next door, there's a shop with prepared foods and the baked goods from the bakery.
0:13:05
I it's a long way for me to go for a site visit from Manhattan, but the real, attraction of a site visit is being able to go to that little food shop and have some of the fresh bread that they make.
0:13:20
The applicant has determined that it wants to keep the bakery there, we want the bakery, the wholesale bakery, to stay and be able to expand, and they want to keep the food shop because everybody loves it.
0:13:32
There are also some other manufacturing uses.
0:13:36
There are a total of five other manufacturing uses in the building.
0:13:39
Some of them may want to relocate in the building, in the rebuilt building, we're not sure.
0:13:45
But by having the MX District for this site, it enables us to maintain the bakery as a wholesale bakery and the possibility of other manufacturing or high industrial uses to stay there, plus the benefit to the adjacent property owner.

I'm going to turn the rest of this presentation over to John to describe what were the building that will be created as a result or could be created as a result of this project, how many dwelling units.
0:14:18
There were issues raised about sustainability during the course of the, hearing process.
0:14:24
This is a very sustainable building, way more appropriate for the environment than the existing building.
0:14:30
And John will go into that as well.
