The application C 230258 ZMK, submitted by Joel Berkowitz, seeks an amendment to the Zoning Map Section No. 13b to change the zoning of the property at 712 Myrtle Avenue from an M1-2 District to an R7D District. This change also establishes a C2-4 District within the new R7D District, allowing for mixed-use development. The rezoning facilitates the construction of a new nine-story residential building in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, which will provide 41 dwelling units, including 10 permanently income-restricted units as part of the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) program. The development will contribute to the ongoing revitalization of the area, balancing residential growth with commercial activity.
This rezoning is a significant step in addressing housing needs in Brooklyn, particularly in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. By allowing mixed-use development, it promotes a balance of residential and commercial uses, contributing to economic growth and community development while also providing affordable housing options.
