CB 10 Land Use Committee Voted for a Zoning Change for the Staples Lot 115 Ft Building
The Community Board 10 Land Use Committee voted to give the developers at the Staples Lot a zoning change to a R7A. A R7A allows them to build to 115 feet – 8 floors.
The decision and how it played out seemed rehearsed.
At the May 18th Community Board meeting, the whole board will vote on this. I’ve been watching Community Board 10 for a long time, the vote almost always goes the same way as the committee voted.
Here’s the rents for the “affordable housing” at this site:

May 7, 2026God Bless 94th Street. The Developer is Putting the Curb Cut on 94th Street – Instead of 5th Ave.
At the Community Board 10 Meeting tonight, the developer for the Staples Lot was so pleased to share that the existing curb cut on 5th Avenue (where you enter Staples Parking Lot) will be closed up and people can park there.
They are putting a curb cut on 94th Street. Can you imagine what that is going to do to 94th Street? The traffic that is going to hit that block is going to make people not want to live there.
The developer said the existing curb cut was 32 feet and the one they will put on 94th Street will be the same size.

May 7, 2026The CB 10 Meeting About the Staples Property is Tonight, May 7th
Community Boatd10 voted in favor of a new building with a supermarket diagonally across the street from PS 104 on 92nd Street.
Councilwoman Kayla Santosuosso used to live on that block (above the bar) and she let the plan stay WITH A SUPERMARKET across the street from a school.
If you know the area, you know that area is very congested at dismissal.
Community Board 10 voted in favor of The City of Yes Plan because former Councilman Justin Brannan voted to carve his home and some of theirs out of The City of Yes Plan.
Tonight, they are having a meeting about rezoning the Staples lot. If you love Bay Ridge, please speak out for our community. You can go to their office or you can go on Zoom.
