This decision amends the Zoning Map at 102-51 Queens Boulevard in Queens, changing from an R7-1 District with a C1-2 overlay to a new R8X District with a C2-4 District and establishes a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area in Appendix F of the Zoning Resolution. It allows high-density residential development under R8X controls, paired with ground-floor commercial and community facility uses enabled by the C2-4 District. The R8X designation provides contextual tower regulations to encourage setbacks and sky exposure while the C2-4 overlay permits a wide array of retail and office uses. The Mandatory Inclusionary Housing requirement will secure permanently affordable units on site. The rezoning aligns with City Planning’s Queens Boulevard corridor study to concentrate growth at transit nodes. It streamlines development approvals by replacing the C1-2 commercial overlay with uniform zoning. The change will support a mixed-use building with ground-floor shops, residential floors above, and community space.
