This rezoning changes the designation of the area from an M1-1 District to an R7-2 District and establishes a C2-4 District, creating a Special Manhattanville Mixed Use District (MMU). This change facilitates the construction of a 7-story mixed-use building at 701 West 135th Street, including residential, commercial, and community spaces. The project supports the city's initiative for mandatory inclusionary housing, providing affordable housing and encouraging economic growth in the area.
This rezoning supports housing affordability, mixed-use growth, and revitalization efforts within the Manhattanville area, enhancing community vibrancy and economic potential.
