Clinton Hill Rezoning to Swap Shelter for Homes, Stores
The block, which is currently zoned for commercial and industrial use, is bounded by Flushing Avenue, Ryerson Street, Park Avenue, and Hall Street. RXR is asking to change it from M1-2 zoning to M1-5 and M1-6A/R8.
The project would create 611 residential units across two buildings. The new tower would have 464 new units, including 116 to 139 permanently affordable units. The nine-story building at 14-42 Ryerson Street, which runs down Ryerson Street, would have 147 apartments, including 37 to 44 permanently affordable units, according to documents included in the rezoning.
However, the rezoning documents say that regardless of whether the rezoning goes ahead or not, the two buildings will be demolished. In the as-of-right situation, a new self-storage building would be built. The building at 14-42 Ryerson Street, slated for residential conversion, would also be converted to self storage if the rezoning isn’t approved, the documents say.
ULURP is expected to take around seven months, and there will be numerous avenues for public involvement including at the community board, borough president, Department of City Planning, and City Council levels.
