We're here today from 102 Dash 51 Queens Boulevard, which is a proposed rezoning from an R 71 to an R 8 X C 24 zoning district located within Queens Community Planning Board nine.

Excuse me.
0:05:40
I did a little upside down.
0:05:42
We met with Community Planning Board six, they were very supportive of the application.
0:05:46
And we've also appeared before the borough president who was supportive as well.

Next slide, please.

The proposal is council member Schulman mentioned a moment ago would allow on the right hand side of the screen, you could see what's proposed and would allow for a 17 story, 75 foot tall mixed use building.
0:06:03
It would include approximately 216 units, 54 of which would be affordable.

Queens Boulevard, as many of you know, I'm sure council member Lynn Schulman knows better than anybody, is tremendously underdeveloped and has been for the past century, half century since I've been alive.
0:06:19
It's it's encumbered by predominantly one story buildings as you see in the lower left corner here, and behind it on the side streets and an anomaly of land use are the taller buildings.
0:06:32
And that's sort of the pattern up and down Queen's Boulevard.
0:06:34
And the reason for that is simply because the zoning does not allow for a developer to create anything economically viable while still developing the property under the current zoning.
0:06:43
So the proposed rezoning to an R 8 X will be able to activate this property.
0:06:47
It'll allow for the developer to create the building we just proposed.
0:06:50
If allowed, it will have 85 studios, eighty five one bedrooms, twenty three two bedrooms, and twenty three three bedrooms.
0:06:56
It would also have 87 parking spaces.
