Public Hearing:
Upzoning 364 Coney Island Avenue
Wednesday, September 9th
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
A developer has applied to build a twelve-story rental building at 364 Coney Island Avenue. The site, currently a vacant lot, is on the southeastern corner of the block bounded by Caton Place to the north, Coney Island Avenue to the east, Kermit Place to the south, and East 8th Street to the west (Google map).
364 Coney Island Avenue LLC, has applied to the Department of City Planning to "map an MIH (Mandatory Inclusionary Housing) Area to facilitate a new 12-story plus cellar, 59,702 sq. ft.
(7.2 FAR) mixed-use development including 2,872 sq. ft. of commercial
use and 71 dwelling units (18 permanently income-restricted units
pursuant to MIH Option 1)."
Under MIH Option1, "25% of the residential floor area is affordable to households earning an average of 60% of the AMI (Area Median Income), of which 10% shall be affordable to families earning 40% of AMI."
No off-street parking will be included, since the site is in an Inner Transit Zone.
The developer is Focus Property Group, a subsidiary of JEMB Realty.
Focus Property Group also developed the thirteen-story One Park Point at 11 Ocean Parkway, between Coney Island Avenue and E. 8th Street.
"Focus Property Group (FPG) led by Bobby Dweck, today announces that it has made its first acquisition--the International Baptist Church’s Brooklyn campus. Secured via a 99-year ground lease, the building located at 312 Coney Island Avenue, will undergo a capital improvements campaign, repositioning the asset to reflect the evolution of Windsor Terrace."
Brooklyn Community Board 7 (CB 7) will hold a public hearing on the upzoning application on Wednesday, September 9, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The public can attend in person, on Zoom, and on YouTube.
