      The presentation provides an overview of the zoning map, area context, and rationale for the proposed rezoning. The site's location and surrounding area characteristics are highlighted to support the rezoning application.

      • The site is surrounded by residential districts to the northeast and west, including the Red Hook Houses
      • Manufacturing districts are located to the east, southeast, and south along the Gowanus Expressway
      • The rezoning aims to create walk-to-work opportunities in a densely populated residential area
      • The current M1-1 zoning has resulted in low job-generating uses and underutilization of the site
      • The proposed M1-5 zoning would allow for increased density and job creation near transportation options
