East New York Rezoning Proposal Chapter 4: Community Facilities and Services

A. INTRODUCTION

This chapter examines the potential effects of the Proposed Actions and associated reasonable worst-case development scenario (RWCDS) on community facilities in and around the proposed rezoning area. The 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual defines community facilities as public or publicly funded facilities, including schools, health care, child care, libraries, and fire and police protection services. CEQR methodology focuses on direct impacts on community facilities and services and on increased demand for community facilities and services generated by increases in population.

As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the East New York Rezoning proposal consists of a series of land use actions (collectively, the “Proposed Actions”) that would facilitate the incremental development (compared to No-Action conditions) of 6,492 dwelling units (DU), including 3,538 affordable DU; 513,390 sf of commercial uses; 457,870 sf of community facility uses (including a 1,000-seat PS/IS school); and 1,070 accessory parking spaces; and a net reduction of 27,035 sf of industrial uses on 81 projected development sites.

The analysis of community facilities and services has been conducted in accordance with CEQR Technical Manual guidelines and the latest data and guidance from agencies such as the New York City Department of Education (DOE), the New York City Administration for Children’s Services (ACS), the Brooklyn Public Library (BPL), the New York City School Construction Authority (SCA), and the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP). Since the issuance of the Notice of Completion of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the Department of Education’s Utilization Profiles: Enrollment/Capacity/Utilization report was updated. For the Final EIS (FEIS), the community facilities analysis provided in this chapter was updated for consistency with the most recent 2014-2015 edition of this report. The community facilities analysis has also been updated to reflect the release of the January 2016 Proposed Amendment to the DOE’s 2015-2019 Five Year Capital Plan.

B. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS

Pursuant to CEQR Technical Manual guidelines, detailed analyses of potential indirect impacts on public elementary, intermediate, and high schools, public libraries, and publicly funded child care centers were conducted for the Proposed Actions. Based on the CEQR Technical Manual screening methodology, detailed analyses of outpatient health care facilities and police and fire protection services are not warranted, although they are discussed qualitatively. As described in the following analysis and summarized below, the Proposed Actions would result in a significant adverse impact on elementary and intermediate schools and child care centers. No significant adverse high school impacts or library impacts would result.

Public Schools

The rezoning area falls within the boundaries of four New York City Community School District (CSD) sub-districts: Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 19 and Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 23 compared to No-Action conditions. The RWCDS associated with the Proposed Actions would introduce a net increment of 3,569 total students, with approximately 1,882 elementary school students, 778 intermediate school students, and 909 high school students; the majority of these action-generated students would be generated by projected development sites located within CSD 19. In addition, in the future with the Proposed Actions, it is assumed that projected development site 66 would include a

4-1 East New York Rezoning Proposal

1,000 seat PS/IS school with 682 PK-5 seats and 318 IS (6th to 8th grade) seats. The site 66 PS/IS school is expected to be operational by the 2020-2021 academic year.

In the 2030 future with the Proposed Actions, CSD 19 Sub-district 2 would experience significant adverse elementary and intermediate school impacts. CSD 19, Sub-district 2 elementary schools would increase from a No-Action utilization rate of 98.3 percent to 109.5 percent in the With-Action condition (an 11.2 percentage point increase), with a deficit of 720 elementary school seats. CSD 19, Sub-district 2 intermediate schools would increase from a No- Action utilization rate of 103.2 percent to 114.6 percent in the With-Action condition (an 11.4 percentage point increase), with a deficit of 448 elementary school seats. As elementary and intermediate schools within this sub- district would operate over capacity in the With-Action condition, with an increase of five percentage points or more in the collective utilization rate between the No-Action and With-Action conditions (the CEQR impact threshold), a significant adverse impact to this sub-district would result.

Although the CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary school utilization rate would exceed 100 percent in the future with the Proposed Actions, as the Proposed Actions would result in a 0.3 percent increase in the utilization rate between No-Action and With-Action conditions, less than the five percent impact threshold, no significant adverse impact would occur within this sub-district. However, as the With-Action PS/IS school is not expected to be completed until the 2020-2021 academic year, the net 490 elementary students anticipated in CSD 19 Sub-district 1 prior to the With-Action school’s development would result in an elementary school utilization rate of 144.0 percent in 2020 (Q2). With an increase of 16.3 percent over No-Action conditions anticipated in 2020 (Q2), this would constitute a significant adverse impact, but because the impact would last only until 2020 (Q3), the impact is considered to be temporary. As CSD 19, Sub-district 1 intermediate schools would continue to operate below capacity (97.9 percent utilization) in the 2020 (Q2) temporary impact analysis year and the 2030 With-Action condition, no significant adverse intermediate school impacts would result.

CSD 23, Sub-districts 1 and 2 elementary and intermediate schools would continue to operate with available capacities in the future With-Action condition and, therefore, would not experience significant adverse impacts.

According to the CEQR Technical Manual, the determination of impact significance for high schools is conducted at the borough level. In the future With-Action condition, the Brooklyn high school utilization rate is expected to increase by 1.0 percentage points over the No-Action condition, for a With-Action utilization rate of 109.0 percent and a shortfall of 7,830 seats. As the increase in the collective high school utilization rate would be less than the five percentage point impact threshold, no significant adverse impacts to Brooklyn high schools are anticipated.

Libraries

The Proposed Actions would not result in significant adverse impacts to libraries. Six BPL branches are located within a ¾-mile radius of the rezoning area: the Saratoga, Brownsville, Stone Avenue, Arlington, New Lots, and Cypress Hill Branches. The Proposed Actions would introduce an estimated 19,296 additional residents to the libraries’ combined catchment area (compared to No-Action conditions). For the Saratoga, Brownsville, Stone Avenue, and New Lots Branches, the catchment area population increases resulting from the Proposed Actions would be less than five percent, which would not result in a noticeable change in the delivery of library services. The Arlington and Cypress Hill Branches’ catchment area population are both expected to increase by more than five percent in the future with the Proposed Actions, which may represent a significant adverse impact on library services according to the CEQR Technical Manual. However, many of the residents in the catchment areas for the Arlington and Cypress Hills Branch libraries also reside in the catchment areas for other nearby libraries and would also be served by these libraries, such as the New Lots Branch, which is expected to have the highest holdings-per-resident ratio in the future With- Action condition. Residents in the study area would have access to the entire BPL system through the interlibrary loan system and could have volumes delivered directly to their nearest library branch. In addition, residents would also have access to libraries near their place of work. Therefore, the population introduced by the Proposed Actions is not expected to result in a significant adverse impact on public libraries. The Brooklyn Public Library concurred with the conclusion that the Proposed Actions would not result in a significant adverse impact on public libraries (see Appendix C).

4-2 Chapter 4: Community Facilities and Services

Child Care Services

The Proposed Actions would result in a significant adverse impact on publicly funded child care facilities. The RWCDS for the Proposed Actions is expected to introduce approximately 3,538 low- to moderate-income units by 2030. Based on the most recent child care multipliers in the CEQR Technical Manual, this development would generate approximately 630 children under the age of six who could be eligible for publicly funded child care programs. With the addition of these children, there would be a deficit of 203 slots in the study area by 2030 (103.4 percent utilization), and the Proposed Actions would result in an increase in the utilization rate of approximately 10.6 percentage points over the No-Action condition.

According to the CEQR Technical Manual, a significant adverse child care impact may result, warranting consideration of mitigation, if a proposed action would increase the study area’s utilization rate by at least five percentage points and the resulting utilization rate would be 100 percent or more. As the Proposed Actions would result in a 10.6 percentage point increase in the study area child care facility utilization rate and child care centers would operate over capacity in the future With-Action condition the Proposed Actions would result in a significant adverse impact to publicly funded group child care.

Police, Fire, and Health Care Services

The CEQR Technical Manual recommends a detailed analysis of indirect impacts on police, fire, and health care services in cases where a proposed action would create a sizeable new neighborhood where none existed before. The rezoning area is a developed area with an existing and well-established community that is served by existing police, fire, and health care services. Therefore, the Proposed Actions would not create a neighborhood where none existed before, and a detailed analysis of indirect effects on these community facilities is not warranted.

C. PRELIMINARY SCREENING

The purpose of the preliminary screening is to determine where a community facilities assessment is required. As recommended by the CEQR Technical Manual, a community facilities assessment is warranted if a project has the potential to result in either direct or indirect effects on community facilities. If a project would physically alter a community facility, whether by displacement of the facility or other physical change, this “direct” effect triggers the need to assess the service delivery of the facility and the potential effect that the physical change may have on that service delivery. New population added to an area as a result of an action would use existing services, which may result in potential “indirect” effects on service delivery. Depending on the size, income characteristics, and age distribution of the new population, there may be effects on public schools, libraries, or child care centers.

Direct Effects

There are no direct effects.

Indirect Effects

The CEQR Technical Manual includes thresholds that provide guidance in making an initial determination of whether a detailed analysis is necessary to determine potential impacts. Table 4-1 lists those CEQR Technical Manual thresholds for each community facility analysis area. If a proposal exceeds the threshold for a specific facility, a more detailed analysis is warranted. A preliminary screening analysis was conducted to determine if the Proposed Actions and associated RWCDS would exceed established CEQR Technical Manual thresholds warranting further analysis. Based on that screening, the Proposed Actions trigger a detailed analysis for public elementary, intermediate, and high schools, publicly funded child care centers, and public libraries.

TABLE 4-1 Preliminary Screening Analysis Criteria Community Facility Threshold for Detailed Analysis Public Schools 50 or more elementary/intermediate school students or 150 or more high school students Libraries More than five percent increase in ratio of residential units to libraries in the borough Health Care Facilities (Outpatient) Introduction of a sizeable new neighborhood Child Care Centers (Publicly Funded) More than 20 eligible children under age six based on the number of low- to moderate-income units Fire Protection Introduction of a sizeable new neighborhood Police Protection Introduction of a sizeable ne neighborhood Source: CEQR Technical Manual.

Public Schools The CEQR Technical Manual recommends conducting a detailed analysis of public schools if a proposed action would generate 50 or more elementary/intermediate school students and/or 150 or more high school students. Based on the RWCDS net increment of 6,492 residential units (compared to No-Action conditions) and the CEQR student generation rates for Brooklyn (0.29 elementary school students per unit, 0.12 intermediate school students per unit, and 0.14 high school students per unit), the Proposed Actions would generate approximately 3,569 total students, with approximately 1,882 elementary school students, 778 intermediate school students, and 909 high school students. This number of students warrants a detailed analysis of the Proposed Actions’ effects on elementary, intermediate, and high schools.

Libraries Potential impacts on libraries can result from an increased user population. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, a proposed action that generates a five percent increase in the average number of residential units served per branch (equivalent to a 734 unit increase in Brooklyn) may cause significant adverse impacts on library services and require further analysis. The RWCDS associated with the Proposed Actions is expected to add a net 6,492 DU over the No- Action condition. Therefore, the Proposed Actions would exceed this threshold, and a detailed analysis of libraries is warranted.

Child Care Services According to the CEQR Technical Manual, if a proposed action would add 20 or more children under age six eligible for child care, a detailed analysis of its impact on publicly funded child care facilities is warranted. This threshold is based on the number of low-income and low- to moderate-income units generated by a proposed action (110 units in Brooklyn). As described previously, the RWCDS associated with the Proposed Actions is expected to add a net 6,492 DU, of which 3,538 are expected to be affordable units provided through the Inclusionary Housing Program (IHP), over the No-Action condition. Therefore, the Proposed Actions would yield more than 20 children under age six eligible for publicly funded child care, exceeding the CEQR thresholds requiring a detailed analysis of child care facilities.

Police, Fire, and Health Care Services The CEQR Technical Manual recommends a detailed analysis of indirect impacts on police, fire, and health care services in cases where a proposed action would create a sizeable new neighborhood where none existed before. The rezoning area is a developed area with an existing and well-established community that is served by existing police, fire, and health care services. Therefore, the Proposed Actions would not create a neighborhood where none existed before and a detailed analysis of indirect effects on these community facilities is not warranted. For informational purposes, a description of existing police, fire, and health care facilities serving the rezoning area is provided below.

4-4 Chapter 4: Community Facilities and Services

The rezoning area is served by the New York City Police Department’s (NYPD’s) 73rd and 75th Precincts. The Ocean Hill neighborhood of the rezoning area (west of Broadway Junction) is served by the 73rd Precinct, which encompasses 1.9 square miles of the Ocean Hill and Brownsville neighborhoods and serves approximately 86,468 residents. The 73rd Precinct House is located at 1470 East New York Avenue, approximately four blocks southwest of the rezoning area. The East New York portion of the rezoning area (east of Broadway Junction) is served by the 75th Precinct, which encompasses approximately 8.4 square miles of the Broadway Junction, Highland Park, Cypress Hills, East New York, City Line, New Lots, Starrett City, and Spring Creek neighborhoods and serves approximately 183,328 residents. The 75th Precinct House is located at 1000 Sutter Avenue, approximately two blocks south of the rezoning area. As stated in the CEQR Technical Manual, the NYPD independently reviews staffing levels against a precinct’s population, area coverage, crime levels, and other local factors, and makes service and resource adjustments as necessary.

The rezoning area is served by Battalions 39 and 44 of the Fire Department of New York’s (FDNY’s) Division 15. Division 15 extends from Bushwick to the north, City Line to the east, Kings Bay to the south, and Prospect Park to the west (an approximately 35.4 square mile area) and serves approximately 1,185,388 residents. Fire Battalion 39 of Division 15 encompasses 6.1 square miles of the Cypress Hills, City Line, East New York, and Starrett City neighborhoods and serves approximately 141,770 residents. Fire Battalion 44 of Division 15 encompasses 3.2 square miles of Ocean Hill, Broadway Junction, Brownsville, and Highland Park neighborhoods and serves approximately 122,587 residents. The rezoning area is also served by ten fire companies; the Ocean Hill neighborhood of the rezoning area is served by Engine Company 233, Ladder Company 176, and Ladder Company 120, and the East New York neighborhood of the rezoning area is served by Ladder Company 175, Engine Company 332, Engine Company 236, Engine Company 290, Ladder Company 103, Engine Company 225, and Ladder Company 107. There are two fire houses located within the rezoning area: the Engine 332 Ladder 175 Fire House is located at 165 Bradford Street and the Engine 236 Fire House is located at 998 Liberty Avenue. FDNY continually evaluates the need for changes in personnel, equipment, or locations of fire stations and makes any necessary adjustments.

There are two types of ambulances in the City—911 providers and those providing inter-facility transport. Municipal FDNY and hospital-based ambulances are the sole providers of 911 services, and they operate that system under contract with Emergency Medical Services (EMS). One EMS station is located within the rezoning area at 265 Pennsylvania Avenue: EMS Station 39. In addition, EMS Station 44 is located less than one mile from the rezoning area at 266 Rockaway Avenue.

Under CEQR Technical Manual guidelines, health care facilities include public, proprietary, and nonprofit facilities that accept government funds (usually in the form of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements) and that are available to any member of the community. Examples of these types of facilities include hospitals or public health clinics. The Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center is located less than two miles southwest of the rezoning area at 1 Brookdale Plaza, and is likely to be used by the residents and workers of the rezoning area. In 2012/2013, Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center received over 350,000 emergency department and outpatient visits. In addition, there are three health clinics in the study area: HHC’s East New York Diagnostic and Treatment Center, located at 2094 Pitkin Avenue; Housing Works Community Health Center – East New York, located at 2640 Pitkin Avenue; and MediSys East New York, located at 3080 Atlantic Avenue (refer to Figure 4-1).

analyzes potential impacts only on public schools operated by the DOE1; private and parochial schools within the study area are not included in the analysis of schools presented in this chapter.

The demand for community facilities and services is directly related to the type and size of the new population generated by development resulting from the Proposed Actions. As outlined in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the RWCDS would result in a net increment of 6,492 residential units, compared to the No-Action condition. Based on the multipliers presented in Table 6-1a of the CEQR Technical Manual, the RWCDS associated with the Proposed Actions would result in a net increase of approximately 1,882 elementary school students, 778 intermediate school students, and 909 high school students compared to No-Action conditions. According to CEQR Technical Manual guidelines, this level of development would trigger a detailed analysis of elementary and intermediate level schools, as well as high schools.

Following the methodologies in the CEQR Technical Manual, the study area for the analysis of elementary and intermediate schools is the community school district’s “sub-district” (“region,” or “school planning zone”) in which the project is located. As indicated in Figure 4-2, the rezoning area falls within the boundaries of four New York City Community School District (CSD) sub-districts: Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 19 and Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 23. Table 4-2, below, summarizes the projected development sites that fall within each respective sub-district and the associated number of new residential units and new elementary, intermediate, and high school students resulting from the Proposed Actions. While the number of high school students generated by residential units within each respective school sub-district is presented in Table 4-2, high school students may attend any high school in the City if they meet the admissions criteria, and high schools compete to attract students on the basis of specialized programs and overall reputation. Consequently, high school capacity assessments are not performed for small, localized study areas. The CEQR Technical Manual states that the borough in which a project is located should serve as the study area for high school analyses.

A schools analysis presents the most recent capacity, enrollment, and utilization rates for elementary, intermediate, and high schools in the respective study areas. Future conditions for the No-Action are then predicted based on enrollment projections and proposed development projects2; the future utilization rate for school facilities is calculated by adding the estimated enrollment from proposed residential developments in the schools study area to DOE’s projected enrollment and then comparing that number with projected school capacity. DOE’s most recent enrollment projections (Actual 2011, Projected 2012-2021) are posted on the SCA’s website.3 In addition, any new school projects identified in the DOE 2015-2019 Five-Year Capital Plan (and/or subsequent amendments) are included if construction has begun. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, some schools may be included in the analysis if they are in the DOE Five-Year Capital Plan but are not yet under construction if the lead agency, in consultation with the SCA, concurs that it is appropriate.

East New York Rezoning Proposal Figure 4-2 This figure has been updated for the FEIS. Rezoning Area CSD Sub-districts Chapter 4: Community Facilities and Services

To determine With-Action school utilization rates, the net elementary and intermediate school population generated by each projected development site was added to the respective CSD sub-district; the net high school students generated by all projected development sites under the RWCDS was added to the borough-wide future high school population. In addition, as projected development site 66 would include a 1,000 seat PS/IS school in the With-Action condition, these new school seats were added to the respective CSD sub-district capacity. The effect of the new students introduced by the Proposed Actions under the RWCDS on the capacity of schools within the respective study areas is then evaluated. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, a significant adverse impact may occur if a proposed action would result in: (1) a utilization rate of the elementary and/or intermediate schools that is equal to or greater than 100 percent in the future With-Action condition; and (2) an increase of five percent or more in the collective utilization rate between the No-Action and With-Action conditions.

Existing Conditions

As described above, elementary and intermediate schools in New York City are located in geographically defined school districts. As shown in Figure 4-2, the rezoning area is located within the boundaries of four CSD sub-districts: Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 19 and Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 23. Analyzed study area elementary and intermediate schools are defined by one of four categories: elementary (PS) schools, which serve grades Pre-K through 5; intermediate (IS) schools, which serve grades 6 through 8; secondary schools, which serve grades 6 through 12; and K-8 schools, which serve grades Pre-K through 8. For utilization analysis purposes, the elementary/PS components of PS/IS and K-8 schools have been combined, the intermediate/IS components of PS/IS and IS/HS schools have been combined, and the high school components of secondary schools have been combined.

Tables 4-3 through 4-5 provide the existing enrollment, capacity, and utilization rates for elementary, intermediate, and high schools in their respective study areas. In instances where school buildings house more than one organization, these organizations are listed separately.

Elementary Schools As shown in Figure 4-3, there are a total of 36 elementary schools within the study area, including five within Sub- district 1 of CSD 19, 14 within Sub-district 2 of CSD 19, 12 within Sub-district 1 of CSD 23, and five within Sub-district 2 of CSD 23. As indicated in Table 4-3, within CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary schools have an existing utilization rate of approximately 118.8 percent with a shortfall of 545 seats and Sub-district 2 elementary schools have an existing utilization rate of approximately 82.9 percent with 1,330 available seats. Within CSD 23, Sub-district 1 has an existing elementary school utilization rate of approximately 87.5 percent with 583 available seats, and Sub-district 2 has an existing elementary school utilization rate of approximately 59.6 percent, with 762 available seats.

While not included in the quantitative analysis pursuant to the CEQR Technical Manual, it should be noted that there are several charter schools in the study area sub-districts that serve elementary students. The 345-seat First East New York Charter School is located in CSD 19, Sub-district 1; six charter schools serving elementary students (First East New York Charter School, UFT Charter School, Invictus Preparatory Charter School, Achievement First Aspire Charter School, Hyde Leadership Charter School, and Achievement First Apollo Charter School) are located in CSD 19, Sub-district 2; four charter schools serving elementary students (Brownsville Collegiate Charter School, Leadership Prep Brownsville Charter [two locations], and U.C. Leadership Prep Ocean Hill) are located in CSD 19, Sub-district 1; and two charter schools serving elementary students (Ocean Hill Collegiate Charter School and Achievement First Charter School) are located in CSD 23, Sub-district 2. All of these charter schools are located in DOE buildings.

High Schools Table 4-5 provides summary capacity, enrollment, and utilization figures for all high schools in Brooklyn. As shown in Table 4-5, the borough’s high schools had a utilization rate of approximately 88.1 percent with 11,355 available seats in the 2014-2015 academic year. Although a one-mile radius is not used for assessment purposes, as high school students may attend any high school in the City if they meet the admissions criteria, Figure 4-4 shows the locations of all high schools within an approximate one-mile radius of the rezoning area for reference. As shown in Table 4-6, there are 20 high schools within one mile of the rezoning area, one of which (Aspirations Diploma Plus High School) is located on projected development site 40.

East New York Rezoning Proposal Figure 4-4 Public High Schools within 1-Mile of the Rezoning Area Chapter 4: Community Facilities and Services

The Future without the Proposed Actions (No-Action Condition)

In the future without the Proposed Actions, future utilization of public elementary, intermediate, and high schools serving the rezoning area and surrounding study areas would be affected by changes in enrollment mainly due to aging of the existing student body and new arrivals born in the area or moving to it, as well as changes in capacity, or number of available seats, in the study area schools.

Enrollment Projections As noted above, the SCA provides future enrollment projections by district for up to ten years. The latest available enrollment projections to 2021 have been used in this analysis to project student enrollment in 2030. These enrollment projections focus on the natural growth of the City’s student population and other population increases that do not account for new residential development planned in the area (No-Action projects). The SCA has also provided data on the number of new elementary and intermediate students expected from new housing in Sub- districts 1 and 2 of CSD 19 and Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 23 based on their capital planning work. In addition to the SCA ten-year high school enrollment projections, the 2030 No-Action high school enrollment was calculated by applying a multiplier of 0.14, per CEQR Technical Manual Table 6-1a, to the number of new housing units anticipated in the borough by 2030 (32,544). The anticipated No-Action elementary and intermediate school enrollment for the study area sub-districts and No-Action high school enrollment for the borough of Brooklyn are presented in Table 4- 8 and 4-9, respectively.

Projected Capacity Changes As outlined in the CEQR Technical Manual, No-Action school capacity changes considered in a community facilities analysis include information on proposed and adopted “Significant Changes in School Utilization” and the DOE’s 2015-2019 Five Year Capital Plan. The SCA directs that the latest proposed or adopted Five Year Capital Plan (or plan amendment) be use in the No-Action public school analysis; November and February documents are “proposed,’” and plans and/or amendments are adopted by the City Council in June. The latest Five Year Capital Plan Proposed Amendment was issued in January 2016 and did not identify any capacity changes for 23; the January 2016 proposed amendment to the Capital Plan includes the 1,000-seat PS/IS school proposed for CSD 19, Sub-district 1 as part of the Proposed Actions, which is discussed in greater detail in the “Future with the Proposed Actions (With-Action Condition)” section, below. As such, the capacity changes anticipated in the No-Action condition reflect proposals for Significant Changes in School Utilization that have been adopted by the Panel for Education Policy. In total, these changes are expected to decrease CSD 19, Sub-district 1 intermediate school capacity by 112 seats; decrease CSD 19, Sub-district 2 elementary and intermediate school capacities by 171 and 594 seats, respectively; CSD 23, Sub- district 1 elementary and intermediate school capacities are expected to increase by 187 seats and 80 seats, respectively; CSD 23, Sub-district 2 elementary and intermediate school capacities are expected to decrease by 77 and 56 seats, respectively; CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary school capacity is not expected to change. Brooklyn high school capacity is expected to decrease by 8,322 seats by the 2030 analysis year. A description of the No-Action capacity changes affecting the school study areas is provided below.

PROJECTED CSD 19, SUB-DISTRICT 1 ELEMENTARY AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL CAPACITY CHANGES In the 2014-2015 school year, the Highland Park Community School was opened and co-located with the existing I.S. 171 Abraham Lincoln, which serves grades six through eight. The Highland Park Community School is expected to reach full capacity (375 seats) by the 2016-2017 academic year. As a result of this co-location, the capacity of I.S. 171 is expected to decrease from its 2014-2015 capacity of 831 seats to 450 seats by the 2016-2017 school year. Combined these changes would result in a net reduction of 112 intermediate school seats in CSD 19, Sub-district 1. No changes to CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary school capacity are anticipated by the 2030 analysis year.4

4-13 East New York Rezoning Proposal

PROJECTED CSD 19, SUB-DISTRICT 2 ELEMENTARY AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL CAPACITY CHANGES Several changes to CSD 19, Sub-district 2 elementary and intermediate schools have recently been approved, which are expected to result in capacity decreases due to future school co-locations, phase-outs, grade truncations, and charter school expansions.

A number of changes to the capacity of the four schools currently located at 350 Linwood Street in CSD 19, Sub- district 2 are anticipated by the 2030 analysis year that are expected to reduce intermediate school capacity by a total of 318 seats. The phase-out of J.H.S. 302 Rafael Cordero began in the 2013-2014 academic year; the intermediate school, which previously served grades six through eight, had a capacity of 303 seats in the 2014-2015 school year and was closed following the 2014-2015 school year. Two new intermediate schools (Vista Academy and Liberty Avenue Middle School) opened in the building in the 2013-2014 school year, with a combined capacity of 675 sixth grade seats in the 2014-2015 academic year; these two schools are expected to have a combined capacity of 660 seats by the 2015-2016 school year. In addition, Achievement First Apollo Charter School, which is also co- located at 350 Linwood Street and currently serves grades K through six, is expected to continue to expand, enrolling 890 students in grades K through 8 by the 2017-2018 school year. Pursuant to CEQR methodology, charter school capacity is not included in the quantitative analysis.5

P.S. 202 Ernest S. Jenkyns, which previously served grades K through eight, began reducing the number of grades served in the 2013-2014 school year. In the 2014-2015 school year P.S. 202 had a capacity of 698 elementary students and 91 intermediate students. After the last class of eighth grade students graduated in June 2015, P.S. 202 no longer serves intermediate school students. In addition, a new public charter school, Achievement First Aspire Charter School opened and co-located with P.S. 202 in the 2013-2014 school year and is expected to increase its capacity, serving 799 K through 8 students by the 2020-2021 school year. As a result of these changes, P.S. 202 is expected to have a capacity of 684 elementary school seats by the 2030 analysis year, for a net reduction of 14 elementary school seats and 91 intermediate school seats.6

Beginning in the 2014-2015 school year, a new charter school, Explore Envision Charter School, opened and co- located with two existing CSD 19, Sub-district 2 schools: P.S. 190 Sheffield, which had a capacity of 328 elementary seats in the 2014-2015 school year; and I.S. 311 Essence School, which had a capacity of 354 intermediate seats in the 2013-2014 school year. Explore Envision Charter School is expected to reach full capacity, serving grades K through 5, in the 2017-2018 school year. As a result of this co-location, P.S. 190’s elementary school capacity is expected to decrease to 198 seats and I.S. 311’s intermediate school capacity is expected to decrease to 165 seats, for a net reduction of 130 elementary seats and 189 intermediate school seats.7

In the 2013-2014 school year, two new public schools (Brooklyn Gardens Elementary School and School of the Future Brooklyn) opened and co-located with the existing P.S. 174 Dumont. Brooklyn Gardens Elementary School will continue to expand from its 2014-2015 capacity of 203 elementary school seats to an anticipated 326 elementary school seats by the 2016-2017 school year; and School of the Future Brooklyn will expand from its 2014-2015 capacity of 169 intermediate school seats to an anticipated 240 intermediate school seats. In conjunction with these expansions, P.S. 174, which currently serves both elementary and intermediate level students, will be phased out,

no longer admitting students beginning in the 2016-2017 school year. Combined, these changes would decrease elementary school capacity by 27 seats and increase intermediate school capacity by four seats.8

PROJECTED CSD 23, SUB-DISTRICT 1 ELEMENTARY AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL CAPACITY CHANGES In the 2014-2015 school year, General D. Chappie James Middle School of Science and General D. Chappie James Elementary School of Science were in the process of phasing out; both schools closed following the 2014-2015 school year. The seats lost by their phase-outs will be replaced by the two schools that are currently co-located with them: the Riverdale Avenue Community School, which serves PS students, and the Riverdale Avenue Middle School, which serves IS students. The two schools reached their full capacity serving grades Kindergarten through five and six through eight, respectively, in the 2015-2016 school year. As a result of these changes, CSD 23, Sub-district 1 elementary school capacity is expected to increase by 168 seats and CSD 23, Sub-district 1 intermediate school capacity is expected to decrease by 59 seats over 2014-2015 capacity.11

Two schools were co-located with the now phased-out P.S. 332, beginning in the 2011-2012 school year: P.S. 401 (the Christopher Avenue Community School) and Leadership Preparatory Ocean Hill Charter School. Both schools began by admitting Kindergarten through second grade students, and are expected to reach their maximum capacities, serving students in grades Kindergarten through five and Kindergarten through eight, respectively, in the 2017-2018 school year. Combined, these changes will result in a net deduction of 16 elementary school seats from 2014-2015 capacity.12

In the 2013-2014 school year, Leadership Preparatory Brownsville Charter School’s fifth through eighth grade levels were co-located with P.S. 284 Lew Wallace, an existing school serving grades Kindergarten through eight. The capacity of Leadership Preparatory Brownsville Charter School is expected to continue to increase, reaching maximum capacity and enrolling fifth through eighth grade students in the 2016-2017 school year. By the 2016-2017 school year, the capacity of P.S. 284 Lew Wallace is expected to be slightly greater than under existing (2014-2015) conditions, with a total elementary school capacity of 345 seats and a total intermediate school capacity of 203 seats.13

PROJECTED CSD 23, SUB-DISTRICT 2 ELEMENTARY AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL CAPACITY CHANGES Beginning in the 2013-2014 school year, two new schools (Brooklyn Landmark Elementary School and Brooklyn Environmental Exploration School) opened and co-located with P.S. 73 Thomas S. Boyland, located at 251 McDougal Street. These new schools opened admitting limited grade levels, and will be expanding to serve grades K through five and six through eight, respectively, by the 2016-2017 school year. In conjunction with these openings and co- locations, P.S. 73, is being phased out, and will stop enrolling students beginning in the 2016-2017 school year. As a

4-15 East New York Rezoning Proposal

result of these changes, CSD 23, Sub-district 2 elementary and intermediate school capacities are expected to decrease by 77 seats and 56 seats, respectively, by the 2030 analysis year.15

PROJECTED BROOKLYN HIGH SCHOOL CAPACITY CHANGES As a result of multiple approved school co-locations, phase-outs, charter school expansions, and grade truncations, Brooklyn high schools are expected to decreases in capacity by the 2030 analysis year. A summary of the anticipated Brooklyn high school capacity changes is provided in Table 4-7, below. As indicated in the table, anticipated capacity changes in Brooklyn high schools are expected to result in a net reduction of 7,812 high school seats. The 173-seat Pathways to Graduation, which is currently located in the P.S. 213 mini-school at 1965 Linden Boulevard, is also excluded from the future conditions analysis, consistent with CEQR Technical Manual methodology.

In addition, under the RWCDS, projected development site 40, which is currently occupied by the Aspirations Diploma Plus High School, among other uses, would be developed with a new mixed-use development. As it is not currently known whether the existing Aspirations Diploma Plus High School would relocate to a new location within the borough or cease operation, for conservative analysis purposes, its existing 337-seat high school capacity is not included in the No-Action analysis.

As a result of these combined high school capacity changes, the 2030 No-Action high school capacity is expected to decrease to 87,123 seats.

Elementary Schools As under existing conditions, in the 2030 No-Action condition, CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary schools are expected to operate over capacity, while elementary schools in CSD 19, Sub-district 2 and CSD 23, Sub-districts 1 and 2 are expected to operate with available capacity (refer to Table 4-8). While CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary school capacity is not expected to change, as a result of the anticipated increase in enrollment in the sub-district, utilization would increase to 127.7 percent with a deficit of 803 seats. In CSD 19, Sub-district 2 and CSD 23, Sub-district 2, elementary school capacity is expected to decrease, while enrollment is expected to increase; the resultant utilizations are expected to be 98.3 percent and 80.2 percent, respectively, with 128 and 358 available seats, respectively. While CSD 23, Sub-district 1 elementary school capacity is expected to increase in the 2030 No-Action condition, with the anticipated increase in elementary school enrollment in the sub-district during the same period, utilization is expected to increase to 94.4 percent, with 273 available seats.

Intermediate Schools As under existing conditions, intermediate schools in Sub-district 1 of CSD 19 and Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 23 are expected to operate with ample capacity in the 2030 No-Action condition; CSD 19 Sub-district 2 intermediate schools are expected to operate over capacity in the future No-Action condition. CSD 19, Sub-district 1 is expected to experience decreases in intermediate school enrollment and capacity, with an anticipated utilization rate of 77.1, percent and 232 available seats (refer to Table 4-8). CSD 23, Sub-district 1’s intermediate school enrollment is expected to increase, while the sub-district’s capacity is also expected to increase, resulting in a reduction in utilization to 61.2 percent with 1,183 available seats. CSD 23, Sub-district 2’s intermediate school enrollment is expected to increase, while decreasing its capacity, resulting in a utilization rate of 75.8 percent and 376 available seats. CSD 19 Sub-district 2 intermediate schools are expected to operate with a utilization rate of 103.2 percent and a shortfall of 97 seats in the future No-Action condition, as a result of an anticipated increase in enrollment and decrease in capacity within the sub-district.

High Schools In the 2030 future without the Proposed Actions, Brooklyn high schools are expected to operate over capacity as a result of anticipated increases in high school enrollment and decreases in capacity. As summarized in Table 4-9, Brooklyn high schools are expected to operate with a utilization rate of 107.9 percent and a shortfall of 6,921 seats in the No-Action condition.

The Future with the Proposed Actions (With-Action Condition)

For analysis purposes, it is assumed that the RWCDS associated with the Proposed Actions would introduce 6,492 additional DU to the rezoning area, compared to No-Action conditions. Based on the CEQR Technical Manual student generation rates, the Proposed Actions would generate up to approximately 3,569 total students, with approximately 1,882 elementary school students, 778 intermediate school students, and 909 high school students. As discussed above, the majority of the new elementary and intermediate students would be introduced to CSD 19, Sub-districts 1 and 2. As shown in Table 4-10, approximately 883 elementary students and 365 intermediate students would be introduced in CSD 19, Sub-district 1; approximately 848 elementary students and 351 intermediate students would be introduced in CSD 19, Sub-district 2; approximately 49 elementary students and 20 intermediate students would be introduced in CSD 23, Sub-district 1; and approximately 102 elementary students and 42 intermediate students would be generated in CSD 23, Sub-district 2.

In addition, as presented in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” in the future with the Proposed Actions, projected development site 66 would include a 1,000 seat PS/IS school. The proposed 1,000-seat school is included in the

4-18 Chapter 4: Community Facilities and Services

January 2016 proposed amendment to the DOE’s 2015-2019 Five-Year Capital Plan. Based on program requirements and discussions with the SCA, the school is expected to include 682 PK-5 seats and 318 IS (6th to 8th grade) seats. The site 66 PS/IS school is expected to be operational by the 2020-2021 academic year. In total, the proposed school would increase CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary school capacity to 3,576 seats and CSD 19, Sub-district 1 intermediate school capacity to 1,330 seats.

Elementary Schools In the future with the Proposed Actions, the enrollment of Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 19 elementary schools would exceed capacity (refer to Table 4-11). CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary schools would increase from a No-Action utilization rate of 127.7 percent to 128.1 percent in the With-Action condition (a 0.3 percentage point increase) with a deficit of 1,004 elementary school seats. CSD 19, Sub-district 2 elementary schools would increase from a No- Action utilization rate of 98.3 percent to 109.5 percent in the With-Action condition (an 11.2 percentage point increase), with a deficit of 720 elementary school seats.

As noted above, a significant adverse impact may occur if a proposed action would result in both of the following conditions: (1) a utilization rate of the elementary schools in the sub-district study area that is equal to or greater than 100 percent in the future With-Action condition; and (2) an increase of five percentage points or more in the collective utilization rate between the No-Action and With-Action conditions. As CSD 19, Sub-district 2 elementary schools would experience both of these conditions in the future with the Proposed Actions, a significant adverse

4-19 East New York Rezoning Proposal

impact to this sub-district would result. Assuming the projected residential development under the Proposed Actions occurs in accordance with the conceptual construction schedule (per Chapter 19, “Construction”), this significant adverse impact to CSD 19, Sub-district 2 elementary schools could occur in year 2024. While the CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary school utilization rate would exceed 100 percent in the future with the Proposed Actions, as the Proposed Actions would result in a 0.3 percent increase in the utilization rate between No-Action and With-Action conditions, less than the five percent impact threshold, no significant adverse impact would occur within this sub- district. Proposed measures to mitigate the CSD 19, Sub-district 2 elementary school impact are described in Chapter 20, “Mitigation.” CSD 23, Sub-district 1 and 2 elementary schools would continue to operate with ample capacities in the future With-Action condition, and therefore would not experience significant adverse impacts.

CSD 23, Sub-district 1 elementary schools would operate at 95.4 percent capacity, with 224 available school seats, and CSD 23, Sub-district 2 elementary schools would operate at 85.8 percent capacity, with 256 available seats.

Intermediate Schools In the future with the Proposed Actions, intermediate schools in Sub-districts 1 and 2 of CSD 23 and Sub-district 1 of CSD 19 would not be over capacity and, therefore, would not experience significant adverse impacts. CSD 23, Sub- district 1 intermediate schools would operate with a utilization rate of 61.8 percent and 1,163 available seats; CSD 23, Sub-district 2 intermediate schools would operate with a utilization rate of 78.5 percent and 334 available seats; and CSD 19, Sub-district 1 intermediate schools would operate with a utilization rate of 86.1 percent and 185 available seats.

As indicated in Table 4-11, the enrollment of intermediate schools in Sub-district 2 of CSD 19 would exceed capacity in the future with the Proposed Actions. CSD 19, Sub-district 2 elementary schools would increase from a No-Action utilization rate of 103.2 percent to 114.6 percent in the With-Action condition (an 11.4 percentage point increase), with a deficit of 448 intermediate school seats.

As CSD 19, Sub-district 2 intermediate schools would operate over capacity in the future with the Proposed Actions, with an increase in five percentage points or more in the collective intermediate school utilization between the No- Action and With-Action conditions, a significant adverse impact to this sub-district would result. Assuming the projected residential development under the Proposed Actions occurs in accordance with the conceptual construction schedule (per Chapter 19, “Construction”), this significant adverse impact to CSD 19, Sub-district 2 intermediate schools could occur in year 2024. Proposed measures to mitigate the intermediate school impact are described in Chapter 20, “Mitigation.” As noted above, CSD 23, Sub-district 1 and 2 and CSD 19, Sub-district 1 intermediate schools would continue to operate with ample capacities in the future With-Action condition, and therefore would not experience significant adverse impacts.

High Schools As indicated in Table 4-12, in the future With-Action condition, Brooklyn high schools are expected to continue to operate over capacity. The future utilization rate would increase by 1.0 percentage points over the No-Action condition, for a With-Action utilization rate of 109.0 percent and a shortfall of 7,830 seats. As the increase in the collective high school utilization rate would be less than the five percentage point impact threshold, no significant adverse impacts to Brooklyn high schools are anticipated.

CSD 19 Sub-District 1 Temporary School Impact Analysis As noted above, the projected development site 66 PS/IS school in CSD 19, Sub-district 1 is expected to be completed and operational by the 2020-2021 academic year. Therefore, while the Proposed Actions would not result in significant adverse impacts on CSD 19, Sub-district 1 elementary and intermediate schools in the 2030 analysis year, it is possible that significant adverse elementary or intermediate school impacts could occur prior to the school’s construction. Based on the conceptual construction schedule, projected development sites 5, 6, 9, 20, 21, 23, 24, 27, 28, 30, and 67 are expected to be completed and occupied within CSD 19, Sub-district 1 prior to the third quarter of 2020 (i.e., the anticipated school completion) and would introduce a net 1,690 residential units, generating 490 elementary students and 203 intermediate students in the sub-district.

As indicated in Table 4-13, prior to the proposed school’s construction, the net 490 elementary students would result in an elementary school utilization rate of 144.0 percent in the 2020 (Q2). With an increase of 16.3 percent over No- Action conditions anticipated in 2020 (Q2), this would constitute a significant adverse impact, but because the impact would last only until 2020 (Q3), the impact is considered to be temporary. As CSD 19, Sub-district 1 intermediate schools would continue to operate below capacity (97.9 percent utilization) in 2020 (Q2), no temporary significant adverse intermediate school impacts would result.

All anticipated No-Action capacity changes are expected to be completed by the 2020 temporary impact analysis year.

E. INDIRECT EFFECTS ON PUBLIC LIBRARIES

Methodology

According to the CEQR Technical Manual, service areas for neighborhood branch libraries are based on the distance that residents would travel to use library services, typically not more than ¾ miles; this is referred to as the library’s “catchment area.” This libraries analysis compares the population generated by the Proposed Actions with the catchment area population(s) of the libraries available within an approximately ¾-mile area around the rezoning area. As presented in Figure 4-5, there are six Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) neighborhood branches within a ¾-mile radius of the rezoning area.

To determine the existing population of each library’s catchment area, 2010 U.S. Census data were assembled for all census tracts that fall within ¾-mile of each respective library within the rezoning area’s overall catchment area (refer to Figure 4-5). The catchment area populations in the future without the Proposed Actions and the future with the Proposed Actions was applied by multiplying the number of new housing units expected to be complete by the 2030 analysis year by the average household size of the Community District within which the housing unit is located in (based on 2010 U.S. Census data). The catchment area populations in the future with the Proposed Actions was estimated by adding the anticipated population that would result from the Proposed Actions; the anticipated

residents introduced by each projected development site were assigned to each library within a ¾-mile radius of the site. As several of the developments are located within more than one catchment area, in such instances, the residents were assigned to the most proximate library, which residents from the development would be expected to frequent the most often. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, if an action would increase a library’s catchment area population by five percent of more over the No-Action condition, and if this increase would impair the delivery of library services in the study area, a significant impact could occur.

Existing Conditions

The rezoning area is served by the BPL system, which includes a Central Library, a Business Library, and 58 neighborhood libraries. BPL also serves adult learners through five learning centers. As indicated in Figure 4-5, there are six BPL neighborhood branches within a ¾-mile radius of the rezoning area: the Saratoga Branch, located at 898 Macon Street; the Brownsville Branch, located at 35 Glenmore Avenue; the Stone Avenue Branch, located at 589 Mother Gaston Boulevard; the Arlington Branch, located at 193 Arlington Avenue; the New Lots Branch, located at 655 New Lots Avenue; and the Cypress Hills Branch, located at 1197 Sutter Avenue. Table 4-14, below, provides the catchment area population for each library, along with the respective existing holdings-per-resident ratios, based on the census tract population within a ¾-mile radius of each library (refer to Figure 4-6). The study area libraries have a combined 227,344 holdings. The six public libraries serving the rezoning area are described in more detail below.

The 10,000-square foot (sf) Saratoga Branch opened in 1908 and underwent major renovations in 1958, 1974, and 1990. As indicated in Table 4-14, the Saratoga Branch serves a catchment area of approximately 96,329 residents, with approximately 40,730 holdings, for a holdings-per-resident ratio of 0.42.

The Brownsville Branch opened in 1905 with a collection of 7,000 books donated by the Hebrew Educational Society. In 1908, it moved to its present two-story brick and limestone Carnegie building, and was renovated in 1963 and again in 1989. The Brownsville Branch serves a catchment area of approximately 69,974 residents, with approximately 29,386 holdings, for a holdings-per-resident ratio of 0.42.

High usage of the Brownsville Branch spurred the 1914 construction of the Brownsville Children’s Library on nearby Stone Avenue, the first library in the world devoted exclusively to children. Later it became the Stone Avenue Branch (located within the study area). As indicated in Table 4-14, the Stone Avenue Branch serves a catchment area of approximately 78,457 residents, with approximately 34,128 holdings, for a holdings-per-resident ratio of 0.43.

The Arlington Branch was originally known as the East Branch and officially opened on November 7, 1906. The building was renovated in 1950-52, in 1982, and, most recently completed subsequent renovations in February 2015. The Arlington Branch serves a catchment area of approximately 43,887, with approximately 33,431 holdings residents, for a holdings-per-resident ratio of 0.76.

The New Lots Branch was originally a community library organized in 1942 by the Women’s Club of the East New York “Y.” It became part of the BPL in 1949 when it opened at a location on New Lots Avenue. In 1957, the library moved to a new, larger building at its current location. The New Lots Branch also includes the New Lots Learning Center, one of the five adult learning centers in the BPL system. The New Lots Branch serves a catchment area of approximately 75,913 residents, with approximately 48,254 holdings, for a holdings-per-resident ratio of 0.64.

The Cypress Hills Branch is one of the newest public libraries in the BPL system, originally opening in 1955 in the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Cypress Hill Houses. The Cypress Hills Brach moved to its current location in 1995 as a key element to revitalizing East New York. As indicated in Table 4-14, the Cypress Hills Branch serves a catchment area of approximately 69,375, with approximately 41,415 holdings, for a holdings-per-resident ratio of 0.60.

The Future without the Proposed Actions (No-Action Condition)

As described in Chapter 2, “Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy,” in addition to the No-Action development anticipated on the projected development sites, there are a number of new residential developments expected to occur by 2030 that would increase the population within the library study area. Table 4-15 summarizes the anticipated No-Action development anticipated within each library catchment area. As several of the developments are located within more than one catchment area, in such instances, the residents were assigned to the most proximate library, which residents from the development would be expected to frequent the most often.17

Residents calculated based on 2.99 persons per DU for residential units in Brooklyn Community District (CD) 5 and 2.75 persons per DU for residential units in Brooklyn Community District 16.

For analysis purposes, the number of holdings in the study area branch libraries are assumed to remain the same in 2030. Based on this assumption, Table 4-16 presents the anticipated holdings-per-resident ratios of the six study area libraries in the future without the Proposed Actions. As indicated in the table, the No-Action holdings-per- resident ratios would range from 0.42 to 0.75. While the holdings-per-resident ratios for the Saratoga, Brownsville, and Stone Avenue Branches would not change from existing conditions, the Arlington, New Lots, and Cypress Hill Branch ratios would decrease by 0.01 holdings per resident as compared to existing conditions.

17 Two of the No-Action developments are located equidistant between more than one library: projected development site 46 is located equidistant between the Arlington and Cypress Hills Branches and Phase I of the Livonia Avenue development is located equidistant between the Stone Avenue and New Lots Branches. The incremental residents for these No-Action developments were split equally between the two most proximate libraries.

The Future with the Proposed Actions (With-Action Condition)

According to the CEQR Technical Manual, if a proposed project or action increases the study area population by five percent or more as compared to the No-Action condition, this increase may impair the delivery of library services to the study area, and a significant adverse impact could occur.

TABLE 4-16 No-Action Holdings-per-Resident Ratios No-Action Catchment Area No-Action Holdings per Library Name No-Action Holdings1 Population2 Resident Saratoga Branch 40,730 96,829 0.42 Brownsville Branch 29,386 70,738 0.42 Stone Avenue Branch 34,128 79,734 0.43 Arlington Branch 33,431 44,639 0.75 New Lots Branch 48,254 76,359 0.63 Cypress Hills Branch 41,415 70,166 0.59 Notes: 1 August 2013 holdings (BPL); Assumes no change in No-Action condition. 2 Refer to Table 4-15.

As previously stated, the Proposed Actions would result in a net increase of 6,492 DU under the RWCDS, compared to No-Action conditions. These 6,492 DU are expected to introduce an estimated 19,296 new residents to the study area by 2030; 1,697 residents would introduced within the Brownsville Branch catchment area; 13,744 residents would be introduced within the Arlington Branch catchment area; 188 residents would be introduced within the New Lots Branch catchment area; and 3,667 residents would be introduced within the Cypress Hills Branch catchment area.18 While one or more projected development sites would be within the Saratoga and Stone Avenue Branch libraries, these libraries would not be the most proximate library for any projected development sites, and therefore, it is anticipated that residents introduced within their catchment areas would choose to frequent the more proximate libraries.

Table 4-17, below, summarizes the projected development sites that fall within each respective library’s ¾-mile catchment area, and the resultant catchment area population increases. As presented in the table, under the Proposed Actions, the catchment area population of the Brownsville, Arlington, New Lots, and Cypress Hill Branch libraries are expected to increase by 2.4, 30.8, 0.2, and 5.2 percent, respectively, over the No-Action condition. No changes to the Saratoga and Stone Avenue Branch library catchment area populations are anticipated in the future with the Proposed Actions.

Table 4-18 presents the With-Action holdings-per-resident ratios for the study area libraries. As indicated in the table, the holdings-per-resident ratio would decrease to 0.41 for the Brownsville Branch, to 0.57 for the Arlington Branch, to 0.63 for the New Lots Branch, and to 0.56 for the Cypress Hills Branch; the Saratoga and Stone Avenue Branch holdings-per-resident ratios would be 0.42 and 0.43, respectively, as under No-Action conditions.

As the library catchment area populations for the Saratoga, Brownsville, Stone Avenue, and New Lots Branches would increase by less than five percent from the No-Action condition, this level of increase would not result in a noticeable change in the delivery of library services at these branches, and no significant adverse impacts would occur. As indicated in Table 4-17, the Arlington and Cypress Hill Branches’ catchment area population are both expected to increase by more than five percent in the future with the Proposed Actions, which may represent a significant adverse impact on library services according to the CEQR Technical Manual. However, many of the residents in the catchment areas for the Arlington and Cypress Hills Branch libraries also reside in the catchment areas for other nearby libraries, such as the New Lots Branch, which is expected to have the highest holdings-per-

resident ration in the future With-Action condition, and would also be served by these libraries. Residents in the study area would have access to the entire BPL system through the interlibrary loan system and could have volumes delivered directly to their nearest library branch. In addition, residents would also have access to libraries near their place of work. Therefore, the population introduced by the Proposed Actions is not expected to result in a significant adverse impact on public libraries. The Brooklyn Public Library concurred with the conclusion that the Proposed Actions would not result in a significant adverse impact on public libraries (see Appendix C).

F. INDIRECT EFFECTS ON PUBLICLY FUNDED CHILD CARE CENTERS

Methodology

ACS provides subsidized child care in center-based group child care, family-based child care, informal child care, and Head Start programs. Publicly financed child care services are available for income-eligible children up through the age of 12. The CEQR analysis focuses on services for children under age six, as eligible children aged six through 12 are expected to be in school for most of the day.

Families eligible for subsidized child care must meet financial and social eligibility criteria established by ACS. In general, children in families that have incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, depending on family size, are financially eligible, although in some cases eligibility can go up to 275 percent. The family must also have an approved “reason for care,” such as involvement in a child welfare case or participation in a “welfare-to- work” program. Head Start is a federally funded child care program that provides children with half-day and full-day early childhood education; program eligibility is limited to families with incomes at 130 percent or less than the federal poverty level.

The City’s affordable housing market is pegged to the Area Median Income (AMI), rather than the federal poverty level. Since family incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level fall under 80 percent of AMI, for the purposes of CEQR analysis, the number of housing units expected to be subsidized and targeted for incomes of 80 percent AMI or below is used as a proxy for eligibility. This provides a conservative assessment of demand, since eligibility for subsidized child care is not defined strictly by income, but also takes into account family size and other reasons for care (e.g., low-income parent(s) in school; low-income parent(s) training for work; or low-income parent(s) who is/are ill or disabled).

Since there are no locational requirements for enrollment in child care centers, and some parents or guardians choose a child care center close to their place of employment rather than their residence, the service area of these facilities can be quite large and are not subject to strict delineation on a map. However, for the purposes of this child care center, publicly funded group child care centers within approximately two miles of the rezoning area were identified, reflecting the fact that the centers closes to a given site are more likely to be subject to increased demand.19 ACS provided the most recent information regarding publicly funded group child care facilities within the study area, including their current capacity, enrollment, and number of available slots. Family child care and voucher slots were not included in the analysis, in accordance with the CEQR Technical Manual.

The child care center enrollment in the future without the Proposed Actions was estimated by multiplying the number of new low-income and low- and moderate-income housing units expected in the two-mile child care study area by the appropriate multiplier from Table 6-1b of the CEQR Technical Manual. The estimate of new publicly funded child care-eligible children was added to the existing child care enrollment to estimate enrollment in the future without the Proposed Actions. The child care-eligible population introduced by the Proposed Actions was also estimated using the CEQR Technical Manual child care multipliers. The action-generated publicly funded child-care eligible population was then added to the No-Action child care enrollment to determine future With-Action enrollment. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, if a project would result in demand for slots greater than the remaining slots for child care centers and if that demand would constitute an increase of five percentage points or more in the collective capacity of child care centers serving the study area, a significant adverse impact may result.

19 As outlined in the CEQR Technical Manual, the study area for child care analyses can range from 1.5 miles (in non-transit-rich areas) to somewhat larger than 1.5 miles (in transit-rich areas). In consultation with the lead agency and to reflect the transit- rich nature of the rezoning area, a two-mile radius was determined to be the appropriate study area for the Proposed Actions.

4-26 Chapter 4: Community Facilities and Services

Existing Conditions

As indicated in Table 4-19 and Figure 4-7, there are 69 publicly funded child care centers within the study area with a combined capacity of 5,942 slots and 588 available slots (88.8 percent utilization). Table 4-19 shows the current capacity and enrollment for each of these facilities. As noted above, while family-based child care facilities and informal care arrangements provide additional slots in the study area, these slots are not included in the quantitative analysis.

The Future without the Proposed Actions (No-Action Condition)

As described in Chapter 2, “Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy,” in addition to the No-Action development anticipated on projected development sites, there are a number of residential development projects anticipated in the surrounding area. For the purposes of the child care analysis, only the anticipated affordable housing units are used to determine future No-Action child care enrollment. In total, approximately 904 new affordable housing units are anticipated in the surrounding area by 2030 (refer to Table 2-4 in Chapter 2, “Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy”).20 Based on the CEQR Technical Manual generation rates, these incremental 934 affordable housing units are expected to generate 161 additional publicly funded child care-eligible children under age six to the study area, increasing the total child care center enrollment to 5,515. No changes to child care center capacity are anticipated in the 2030 No-Action condition.21

As presented in Table 4-20, the future No-Action utilization rate is expected to increase by four percentage points to 92.8 percent and, therefore, the study area’s child care centers would continue to operate with ample capacity.

The Future with the Proposed Actions (With-Action Condition)

As discussed above, the CEQR Technical Manual requires a detailed analysis of child care centers when a proposed action would produce substantial numbers of subsidized low- to moderate-income family housing units that may therefore generate a sufficient number of eligible children to affect the availability of slots at area publicly funded child care centers. By 2030, as a result of the Proposed Actions, it is anticipated under the RWCDS that up to 3,538 affordable housing units would be introduced to the rezoning area, many of which could potentially be eligible for subsidized child care. Residents with incomes no greater than approximately 80 percent AMI, as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), could occupy these affordable units.

Based on Table 6-1b of the CEQR Technical Manual, these additional 3,538 affordable units would generate 630 children under age six eligible for publicly funded child care services (see Table 4-21). The additional 630 children potentially eligible for publicly funded child care would reduce the number of available slots described above in the future without the Proposed Actions and result in a shortfall of 203 slots in the study area. As presented in Table 4- 22, the collective utilization rate of study area child care centers would increase to 103.4 percent in the 2030 With- Action condition, an approximately 10.6 percent increase from the No-Action utilization rate, 3.4 percent over 100 percent capacity.

20 While an additional 78 units of supportive housing and 53 units of affordable senior housing are also anticipated in the No- Action condition, these residential uses are not expected to generate additional publicly funded child care-eligible children and are therefore not included in the analysis. 21 While the St. Malachy Early Childhood Development Center is located on projected development site 24, as the site is controlled by the organization itself, or its parent organization, although there would be a temporary displacement of the center during construction of the site, it is assumed that the organization, or its parent, would offer the space back to the facility upon completion of the development and may offer temporary quarters somewhere in the area during the construction period itself.

TABLE 4-21 Projected Number of Publicly Funded Child Care Pupils Generated by the Proposed Actions Affordable Units Generation Ratio per Unit (Children ≤ Age 6) Number of Children≤ Age 6 Generated 3,538 0.178 630 Sources: CEQR Technical Manual, Table 6-1b.

TABLE 4-22 Comparison of Budget Capacity, Enrollment, Available Slots, and Percent Utilized for the 2030 Future No-Action and With-Action Conditions Budget Capacity Enrollment Available Slots Utilization (%) 2030 No-Action Condition 5,942 5,515 427 92.8 With-Action Increment 0 630 -630 +10.6 2030 With-Action Condition 5,942 6,145 -203 103.4 Sources: CEQR Technical Manual, Table 6-1b.

According to the CEQR Technical Manual, a significant adverse child care center impact could result if a proposed action results in: (1) a collective utilization rate greater than 100 percent in the With-Action condition; and (2) the demand constitutes an increase of five percent or more in the collective capacity of child care centers serving the study area over the No-Action condition.

Under the RWCDS, the Proposed Actions would add approximately 630 children potentially eligible for subsidized child care to the study area and would cause an approximately 10.6 percent increase in demand over the No-Action utilization rate of publicly funded group child care facilities in the study area, and would therefore exceed the CEQR impact threshold of five percent. As such, the Proposed Actions would result in a significant adverse impact to publicly funded group child care centers in the study area. Assuming the projected affordable housing development under the Proposed Actions occurs in accordance with the conceptual construction schedule (per Chapter 19, “Construction”), this significant adverse impact to publicly funded group child care facilities in the study area could occur in year 2020. Proposed measures to mitigate the impact to publicly funded group child care facilities in the study area are described in Chapter 20, “Mitigation.”

Several factors may limit the number of children in need of publicly funded child care slots in ACS-contracted child care facilities. For example, families in the study area could make use of alternatives. There are slots at homes licensed to provide family child care that families of eligible children could elect to use instead of publicly funded group child care centers. Parents of eligible children may also use ACS vouchers to finance care at private child care centers in the study area. The voucher system could spur the development of new private child care facilities to meet the need of eligible children that would result from the increase in the low-income and low- to moderate- income housing units in the area in the future With-Action condition. Lastly, parents of eligible children are not restricted to enrolling their children in child care facilities in a specific geographic area. They could use the ACS voucher system to make use of public and private child care providers beyond the study area.
