Resolution approving the decision of the City Planning Commission on Application No. N 240298 ZRQ, for an amendment of the text of the Zoning Resolution (L.U. No. 21).

This resolution approves the City Planning Commission's decision on Application No. N 240298 ZRQ, which amends the Zoning Resolution to establish a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) area. This action is linked to a zoning map amendment (C 240297 ZMQ) changing the district from R1-2 to R6A. The amendments are intended to facilitate the development of an eight-story residential and long-term care facility at 217-14 24th Avenue in Queens Community District 11. The proposed facility will contain approximately 183 dwelling units, including 55 income-restricted units under the MIH program, and an additional 65 long-term care units. A Negative Declaration concerning environmental impacts (hazardous materials, air quality, noise) was issued.

This zoning change will allow for the construction of a new residential and long-term care facility, including 55 income-restricted housing units, which could increase housing availability and services in the Bay Terrace neighborhood.
