Todd Dale, representing the applicant and the law firm noted in the hearing record, presented an application to map a C12 commercial overlay onto Block 4748, Lot 35, changing the lot’s zoning from R3‑2 to R3‑2/C12 (commonly described as R3‑2 with a C12 commercial overlay). The parcel is a triangular 2,990‑square‑foot lot at the intersection of Eighteenth Avenue, 100th Street and Francis Lewis Boulevard in Community District 7, within City Council District 19.

Dale and Adam Rothkrug said the site contains a two‑story building occupied by medical offices and community facility tenants; those uses predate the current zoning and were originally established through Board of Standards and Appeals approvals in 1961. The applicants told the hearing the overlay would make the current use permitted as‑of‑right, allow a final certificate of occupancy without repeated variance extensions, and provide clarity that should facilitate financing and leasing.

Adam Rothkrug told the hearing there were no issues raised by Community Board 7 during review, and the presentation records that Community Board 7 recommended approval at its land use committee meeting on Aug. 12 and at the full board meeting on Sept. 8. The applicant said there is no intent to change the building’s bulk or uses.

Chair Lisa Atkins noted there were no public speakers on the item during the hearing. Dale said the owner has held title to the site for more than 30 years and that rezoning the narrow parcel to match the commercial overlays north and south would correct what City Planning acknowledged may have been an original mapping oversight.
