Action Classification and Type SEQRA Classification UNLISTED TYPE I: Specify Category (see 6 NYCRR 617.4 and NYC Executive Order 91 of 1977, as amended): 617.4(b)(9) Action Type (refer to Chapter 2, “Establishing the Analysis Framework” for guidance) LOCALIZED ACTION, SITE SPECIFIC LOCALIZED ACTION, SMALL AREA GENERIC ACTION 4. Project Description The proposed development consists of mixed‐income housing, affordable senior housing, program and office space for the Chinese American Planning Council (CPC), space for the Beth Hamedrash Hagodol (BHH) synagogue, and retail uses. The proposed development would consist of two independent buildings linked by a landscaped interior courtyard totaling 462,142 gsf of development. One building would be a 30‐story, 310‐foot tall mixed‐use, high‐rise building with 316,421 gsf of residential space, approximately 40,222 gsf of space to be owned by CPC, and approximately 18,788 gsf of retail space. The second building would be a 16‐story, approximately 165‐foot tall Affordable Independent Residence for Seniors (AIRS) building with 82,923 gsf of residential space and 3,788 gsf of space to be owned as an independent condominium unit by BHH. The BHH space is intended to be used as a community facility use for use as a worship space and a Jewish cultural heritage space but BHH may elect to convert this space on an as‐of‐right basis to a commercial use (e.g., office use) in the future. Because of the small size of this space, the impacts of community facility and commercial use in this space are likely to be similar, and for purposes of a conservative environmental review, the BHH space will be assessed as a community facility. The proposed development would have approximately 488 residential units inclusive of up to 208 affordable residences composed of up to 93 Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) and 115 AIRS residences, representing overall affordability of approximately 40% across the proposed development. Separate from the proposed development, the owner of Lot 95 would develop a commercial addition on Lot 95 totaling approximately 4,759 gsf. Altogether, the With Action condition would total 466,901 gsf of new development.
