REZONING RATIONALE

•Infill of vacant site completing the block (nothing can be built as-of-right due to One Hanson overbuild)

•Density at a transit rich location

•Provide affordable homeownership through MIH

•20k SF expansion of Brooklyn Music School will:

- more than double instructional space

- provide accessibility to seniors and the disabled

- enable upgrade / renovation of existing facility once new space is available

- ensure the continued growth and vitality of an institution that has been operating at this location for over 100 years

Rezone C6-1 DB District to C6-4 DB and C6-6 DB to facilitate:

Design Proposal



24

•Create an ensemble with One Hanson + Central United Church - Scale transition between 2 existing buildings - Reference Deco - Neo Romanesque - Relate in Color + Materials

•Establish appropriate scale and treatment of Saint Felix street wall - Create relationship to Brooklyn Music School Building - Extend Civic / Cultural use and scale

•Articulate north lot line facade

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

1. Infill Development

- Completes the block and maintains streetwall continuity

- Continues institutional use at grade along St. Felix

2. 15’ setback above the base

- Establishes townhouse scale at the street and direct relationship with BMS

4. Additional setbacks as the tower rises to the top

- Multiple setbacks towards the top slenderize the tower form and reduce bulk as it rises

- These setbacks create separation from the shoulder of One Hanson at the top of the building allowing each to have its own identity
