The proposal spot rezones the property at 102-51 Queens Boulevard in Queens from an R7-1 residential district with a C1-2 commercial overlay to an R8X residential district with a C2-4 commercial overlay. It eliminates the existing C1-2 district within the R7-1 zone, establishes a higher-density R8X district, and adds a C2-4 overlay to permit larger commercial uses at ground level. An accompanying zoning text amendment modifies Appendix F to designate the site as a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area. This rezoning facilitates future mixed-use development comprising residential units above active retail and service spaces, leveraging proximity to the 63rd Drive–Rego Park subway station and supporting corridor revitalization along Queens Boulevard. By integrating residential and commercial uses, the plan aims to boost housing supply, expand job opportunities, and modernize aging retail frontages in Rego Park.
