Lincoln-Wortman Rezoning (230024 ZMK, 230025 ZRK, 230026 PQK, 230027 PPK)
Applications by JNB Realty LLC and the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) pursuant to sections 197-c and 201 of the New York City Charter affecting 10 privately owned lots fronting Autumn, Lincoln, and Wortman avenues in East New York. The co-applicants are seeking:
- A zoning map amendment to change the development site from R4 to R6A and R6B districts
- A zoning map amendment to designate the development site a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) Area
- Acquisition and disposition of four formerly City-owned lots in the project area by HPD
The requested actions would facilitate two five- and seven-story residential buildings with a total of 206 affordable apartments on a 50,000-square foot parcel in Brooklyn Community District 16 (CD 16). The units would be geared toward households earning, on average, 30% to 70% of Area Median Income (AMI). Approximately 63 units would be permanently affordable pursuant to MIH Option 1. The development would provide 55 ground-floor and cellar-level accessory parking spaces. As part of the project, Wortman Avenue will be developed with a new street and sidewalk to allow vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
