The presentation provides context on the existing built environment along Queens Boulevard and recent development trends in the area.

The proposed building, while taller than some nearby structures, is consistent with substantial buildings constructed along Queens Boulevard in the past half-century

There has been limited new development in recent decades, with possibly only one new building near Yellowstone Boulevard
