If You Love Bay Ridge, Come Speak Out Against the Overdevelopment at the Staples Lot – 5/7/26
Bay Ridge, I didn’t receive this Public Meeting Notice. Did you?
Community Board 10 is using the District Office again to limit voices. A school auditorium should have been used, so that everyone who wanted to speak at the meeting could be heard.
This notice says:
Dear Resident/Business Owner/Property Owner:
Community Board 10’s Zoning and Land Use Committee began its advisory review of a zoning map amendment at 9305 5th Avenue. The proposed amendment seeks to change the zoning district at this location from a R6B/C2-3 to a R7X/C2-4, and a zoning text amendment pursuant to Appendix F to map MIH to facilitate a new 11-story 292 dwelling unit mixed-use development, including approximately 13,000 square feet for commercial and community facility uses, being sought by 9305 5th Avenue LLC in Bay Ridge, the current site of Staples. Renderings of the proposed building are on the reverse side.
You can view the proposed plans for this location by visiting City Planning’s ZAP Portal under the Public Documents section at zap.planning.nyc.gov/projects/2025K0284. You can also view the prior Community Board 10 Zoning and Land Use Committee meeting that was held on Wednesday, April 15th by visiting our Community Board 10 YouTube channel at http://bit.ly/3HLO5lw
There are two more opportunities for you to attend a meeting about this proposal.
The Zoning and Land Committee meeting will take place on Thursday, May 7th at 7:00 pm as a hybrid meeting. There is limited seating capacity in the District Office and residents may also participate on Zoom at https://bit.ly/ZALUC57. If you register for Zoom, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and make comments. You may also send comments via email to [email protected] before the meeting, which will be entered into the record. The meeting will be livestreamed to CB10’s YouTube Channel for viewing in real time or any time later.
IT WILL BE TOO LATE BY THIS DATE:
PUBLIC HEARING General Monthly Meeting of Community Board 10 on May 18, 2026 at 7:00 pm at Bay Ridge Center, 15 Bay Ridge Avenue. This is an in-person meeting. You are welcome to attend this meeting and sign up to speak and share your comments about this proposal before the Community Board votes on providing its advisory opinion to the Department of City Planning.
