The Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises convened on March 27, 2025 to hear LUs 257-260 & 263-266, pre-considered land use actions for the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan. The proposal would rezone a 21-block stretch of Atlantic Avenue from Vanderbilt to Nostrand Avenue, replacing outdated M1-2A/R6A mapping with R9A/R7D/R6A and establishing a new Special Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use District. Key actions include mandatory inclusionary housing, non-residential ground-floor requirements, an innovative mid-block job-space incentive, public plaza floor-area bonuses, and site-specific UDAAP and disposition actions on several City- and State-owned parcels to facilitate 100% affordable housing. The hearing was laid over to a future date for further Q&A and point-of-agreement negotiations.
