The City Council approved the acquisition of city-owned property at 516 Bergen Street (Block 1143, Lot 25) to provide replacement parking for HPD operations as part of the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan. The acquisition, processed under Section 197-c of the NYC Charter, enables DCAS to secure a site within Community District 8 (Council District 35) for public parking serving Housing Preservation and Development. This decision aligns with a series of zoning map amendments in the surrounding area designed to facilitate mixed-use residential and commercial growth along Atlantic Avenue. By relocating parking off-site, the plan frees adjacent development parcels for new housing, community facility, and light industrial uses under the AAM Special District. The purchase ensures continuity of HPD operations during and after the implementation of larger site-wide redevelopment.
