Application number C 240375 ZMK (58 Nixon Court Rezoning II) submitted by SLG Assets, Inc, pursuant to Sections 197-c and 201 of the New York City Charter for an amendment of the Zoning Map, Section No. 28c, changing from an R5 District to an R7A District and establishing within the proposed R7A District a C2-4 District, Borough of Brooklyn, Community District 13, Council District 47.

This item, L.U. Nos. 405 and 406, concerns the 58 Nixon Court Rezoning II application submitted by SLG Assets, Inc. It involves a two-part land use action in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn, Community District 13, Council District 47. The first part (C 240375 ZMK) is an amendment of the Zoning Map, changing the district from an R5 District within the Special Ocean Parkway District (OP) to an R7A (OP) District, and establishing a C2-4 (OP) Commercial Overlay District within the proposed R7A area. The rezoning area is specifically bounded by Murdock Court, Ocean Parkway, Shore Parkway (northerly portion), and a line 460 feet easterly of West Street, with the C2-4 district bounded by Nixon Court, Shore Parkway (northerly portion), and a line 460 feet easterly of West Street. The second part (N 240376 ZRK) is an amendment of the Zoning Resolution to establish a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) area by modifying Appendix F. The primary intent is to facilitate the development of a new eight-story mixed-use building at 58 Nixon Court (Block 7237, Lots 61, 63, 64, 65 and Block 7238, Lot 115). This development is projected to contain approximately 16,800 square feet of residential floor area with 19 dwelling units, of which six would be permanently income-restricted, along with approximately 800 square feet of ground floor commercial space. The City Planning Commission approved the application on September 17, 2025, and the Council's Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises and the Committee on Land Use both recommended approval on November 12, 2025, leading to final Council approval on the same day. An environmental Negative Declaration (CEQR No. 24DCP120K, E-695) was issued on April 18, 2025, with an (E) designation to address potential impacts related to hazardous materials, air quality, and noise.

This rezoning will directly impact residents in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn by introducing a new eight-story mixed-use building at 58 Nixon Court. The development will create 19 new dwelling units, including six permanently income-restricted affordable housing units, which will help address the need for affordable housing in the area. Additionally, 800 square feet of new ground-floor commercial space will provide local retail or service options for the community. The Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) designation ensures that a portion of the new housing remains affordable long-term.
