What this means
The Queens action clears the committee stage for acquiring and selecting properties for park use. The 200 Kent Avenue proposal would change zoning and establish a mandatory inclusionary housing area, but it still requires further review by the City Planning Commission. The committee also approved a Department of Transportation concession application and advanced three other applications with modifications.
