    Housing for formerly incarcerated women approved

    Rezoning  •  Ravenswood, Queens

    Not-for-profit requested rezoning in order to develop affordable housing for formerly incarcerated women and their children. On September 16, 2010, the City Council approved Hour Children Inc.’s proposal to rezone a one-and-a-half block portion of Ravenswood, Queens to permit residential uses. The rezoning area is bounded by 36th Avenue to the north, 37th Avenue to the south, 11th Street to the east, and a line midway between 12th and 13th streets to the west. The proposal included replacing the area’s M1-1 district with an R5D district.

    Hour Children owns a 10,000 sq.ft. lot at 36-11 12th Street where it intends to build an eighteen-unit, four-story affordable housing development. The rezoning area consists of low-rise residential and community facility uses, including a church, child care center, and fire station. The proposal brings these legal nonconforming uses into compliance with the zoning resolution. (read more…)
