The City Council approved the Brownsville Neighborhood Conversion Plan rezoning to facilitate the development of deeply affordable housing on three parcels of vacant city-owned land. The rezoning unlocks 75 residential units, with affordability tiers ranging from 30% to 70% of AMI. The largest building at 1735 Saint Mark's Avenue will offer 39 apartments, including three-bedroom units affordable to families earning up to $54,000 per year. The plan reserves 21% of units for homeless families and 50% for households at or below 60% of AMI. A five-unit density bonus was granted under the Yes Zoning text amendment to accommodate larger family homes. HPD and the Fifth Avenue Committee refined the project design and affordability mix based on community feedback, ensuring three-bedroom apartments meet local needs. This rezoning demonstrates the city's commitment to public land reuse and targeted affordable housing production in high-need neighborhoods.
