City rezones W’burg lot to allow for apartment complex, restaurant

City Council rezoned a vacant Williamsburg lot, reversing Community Board 1’s recommendation to reduce the number of units on Wythe Avenue near South 2nd Street. The City Planning Commission signed off on a plan for a six-story apartment complex across two buildings, one with 59 market-rate units, and another with 18 below-market rate apartments. The ground floor will include a restaurant and bar by Taavo Somer. [Brooklyn Paper]
