By a vote of 7-6, Brooklyn Community Board 2’s (CB2) Land-Use Committee rejected developer David and Jed Walentas’s request for a zoning change that would allow construction of an 18-story residential building near the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO. To get the zoning change, the developers offered to build affordable housing units and a much-needed school. The site for the project currently has a 75-foot height limit. The project will now go to the full Community Board as part of New York City’s seven-month Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) that is necessary for zoning changes.
