SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    New York City, through HPD, as a Responsible Entity in accordance 
with 24 CFR 58.2(a)(7), and DCP, serving as lead agency in accordance 
with New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and New 
York City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR), is issuing this NOI to 
solicit comments and advise the public and agencies that an EIS will be 
prepared for the proposed Fulton Park Redevelopment project in 
Brooklyn, New York. As the Responsible Entity, HPD assumes 
responsibility for the environmental review, decision-making, and 
actions that would otherwise apply to HUD under NEPA.
    Fulton Park Development LLC and HPD (the applicants) are requesting 
local and Federal discretionary actions (known collectively as the 
Proposed Action) to facilitate the redevelopment of two adjacent, 
underutilized sites (the project area) with new open space, 
residential, retail, and community facility uses across 12 new 
buildings. The existing buildings within the project area contain a 
total of 209 dwelling units which are subject to a project-based 
Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract under Section 8 of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended. The requested amendment 
to the current HAP contract is a federal action requiring HUD approval 
and subject to environmental requirements.
    The proposed action has the potential to significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment. NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)) and 
HUD's regulations (24 CFR part 58) require the preparation of an EIS. 
HPD and DCP will prepare the EIS in accordance with NEPA, HUD 
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 58, and, as appropriate, the 
New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and the New 
York City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR).
    Responses to this notice will be used to: (1) refine the project 
scope, (2) finalize the purpose and need, (3) determine significant 
environmental issues, information, and analyses relevant to the 
Proposed Action; (4) assist in developing a reasonable range of 
alternatives to be considered; and (5) identify agencies and other 
parties, and the basis for their involvement, that will participate in 
the EIS process.

B. Project Sites

Project Area

    Project Site maps are available on the project website: <a href="https://zap.planning.nyc.gov/projects/2024K0294">https://zap.planning.nyc.gov/projects/2024K0294</a>.
    The Project Area comprises Brooklyn Block 1702, Lot 1; Block 1708, 
Lot 1; and areas not mapped within a Tax Lot (which include the former 
roadbed of closed portions of Utica Avenue and Herkimer Street) in the 
Bed-Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn Community District (CD) 3. The 
Project Area contains the Fulton Park Site and the HPD Site, which are 
described in detail below. The boundary of the Project Area to the west 
of Utica Avenue is to be confirmed pending confirmation of the City's 
property boundaries. It is assumed that no development would occur on 
the portion of Block 1708, Lot 1 west of Utica Avenue (the Other Area); 
this area is part of the Project Area, but it is not included in either 
the Fulton Park Site or the HPD Site.
    The Project Area is located within the Fulton Park Urban Renewal 
Area (the Urban Renewal Area), the plan for which (the Urban Renewal 
Plan) was originally adopted by the City Planning Commission in 1985 
(ULURP No. C850254HUK) and by the Board of Estimate (BOE) in 1988 (Cal. 
No. 16), as amended in 1993 and 2003. The Urban Renewal Plan expires on 
February 11, 2028. Within the Project Area, Block 1708, p/o Lot 1 (the 
portion of the Fulton Park Site south of the former Herkimer Street) is 
designated as Site 7, and Block 1702, p/o Lot 1 (the portion of the 
Fulton Park Site north of the former Herkimer Street) is designated as 
Site 8. A portion of the HPD Site (the portion of Block 1702, Lot 1 
west of Utica Avenue) is designated as Site 8a. Easements run between 
Sites 7 and 8, and both south and west of Site 8a. Both Sites 7 and 8 
are limited to ``Residential Use'' under the Urban Renewal Plan, which 
is defined to include residential uses, community facilities, limited 
recreational facilities, and local retail. Site 8a is indicated as 
``Public and Quasi-Public'', defined as public and community facility 
uses including schools, libraries, community centers, hospitals, 
nursing homes, and health related facilities. On Site 7, there is a 
supplemental control that states that no building shall be built within 
10 feet of the north line of Atlantic Avenue in order to set back from 
the elevated train tracks within Atlantic Avenue. Building bulk is 
otherwise permitted by the Zoning Resolution, and the Urban Renewal 
Plan explicitly permits zoning map amendments.
    The Project Area is located entirely within an R6B zoning district. 
R6B districts are medium-density districts that require contextual 
development pursuant to contextual bulk, height, and setback 
regulations. R6B zoning districts are designated for single- and multi-
family residential use, although multi-family apartment buildings are 
most commonly found within such districts. R6B zoning districts allow 
2.0 FAR for residential uses, 2.40 for Qualifying Affordable Housing 
(QAH; including Universal Affordability Preference [UAP]), and 2.0 for 
community facility uses. Base heights range from a minimum of 30 feet 
to a maximum of 45 feet and the maximum building height permitted is 55 
feet (65 feet with QAH).
    Fulton Street has a width of 80 feet and is a ``Wide Street'' as 
defined in the New York City Zoning Resolution (ZR) Section 12-10. 
Atlantic Avenue has a width of 120 feet and is a Wide Street. Herkimer 
Street is 70 feet in width and is a ``Narrow Street'' as defined in ZR 
Section 12-10. Utica Avenue has a width of 70 feet and is a Narrow 
Street, but functions as a Wide Street within the context of the 
surrounding neighborhood because it serves as a major corridor, 
supports public transit, and has wide sidewalks. Rochester Avenue has a 
width of 70 feet and is narrow Street. Hunterfly Place has a width of 
50 feet and is a narrow Street.
    The Project Area is also located in the Inner Transit and FRESH 
Zones. The Inner Transit Zone provides special lower accessory parking 
requirements. As such, no accessory off-street parking is required for 
newly developed dwelling units. FRESH Zones provide discretionary tax 
and zoning incentives through the New York City Industrial Development 
Agency for the establishment and retention of grocery stores in 
underserved communities. The Project Area is eligible for zoning and 
discretionary tax incentives under this program.
    The Project Area is well served by public transportation. The A and 
C subway lines run along Fulton Street, and the Utica Avenue station is 
located directly across Utica Avenue and Fulton Street from the Project 
Area with entrances on both the north and south sides of Fulton Street. 
There are multiple bus lines serving the Project

[[Page 13048]]

Area. The B25 runs primarily along Fulton Street and stops immediately 
adjacent to the Project Area near the intersection of Fulton Street and 
Utica Avenue. The B46 runs primarily along Utica Avenue and stops 
immediately adjacent to the Project Area at the intersections Utica 
Avenue with both Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue.

Development Sites and Other Area

Fulton Park Site
    The Fulton Park Site is an irregularly shaped superblock comprising 
(1) the portions of Block 1702, Lot 1 and Block 1708, Lot 1 that are 
east of Utica Avenue and (2) a segment of the former roadbed of 
Herkimer Street that is located between Utica Avenue and Hunterfly 
Place that was discontinued and closed in 1983. The Fulton Park Site 
includes a total lot area of approximately 268,100 square feet (SF), 
and is bounded by Fulton Street to the north, Rochester Avenue and 
Hunterfly Place to the east, Herkimer Street and Atlantic Avenue to the 
south, and Utica Avenue to the west. There is an easement for water and 
sewer running through the former bed of Herkimer Street between the 
northern and southern portions of the Fulton Park Site. There are also 
several National Grid and Consolidated Edison (ConEd) easements 
traversing the site from east to west.
    The Fulton Park Site includes 37 three-story multifamily buildings, 
that contain 209 existing housing units, and one single-story accessory 
management office building (known collectively as Existing Buildings) 
and surface parking lots. As noted above, the existing housing units 
are subject to a project-based HAP contract under Section 8 of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended. Originally built in the 
early 1980s, the Existing Buildings are configured as part of a low-
scale tower-in-the-park superblock. The Existing Buildings include a 
total of approximately 214,111 SF of residential space. One of the 
surface parking lots, located in the former roadbed of Herkimer Street, 
contains approximately 45 parking spaces for use exclusively by 
existing housing units' residents. There is also an unused paved area 
along Atlantic Avenue that was once used as a parking lot but is now 
not accessible to residents or the public. There are landscaped lawns 
and pedestrian pathways running throughout the site, spaces which are 
generally underutilized.
    The Fulton Park Site is subject to restrictive, disposition, and 
regulatory agreements related to the Existing Buildings and Housing 
Units; however, it is not anticipated that amendments would require 
additional City Planning Commission (CPC) actions beyond the Proposed 
Action described below.
HPD Site
    The HPD Site comprises (1) the portion of Block 1702, Lot 1 west of 
Utica Avenue and (2) the area between the western boundary of Block 
1702, Lot 1 and the eastern boundary of Block 1701, Lot 1 (this area is 
not part of a Tax Lot; it is the former roadbed of Utica Avenue). The 
HPD Site is bounded by Fulton Street to the north, Utica Avenue to the 
east, the former roadbed of Herkimer Street to the south, and the 
eastern boundary of Block 1701, Lot 1 to the west. The former roadbeds 
of Utica Avenue and Herkimer Street are mapped on the HPD Site, along 
with a 35-foot-wide sewer easement. The lot area of the HPD Site is 
assumed to be approximately 38,514 SF, though the square footage and 
the City's property boundaries are subject to confirmation. The HPD 
Site is currently vacant. The central portion of the site is surrounded 
by a chain-link fence and overgrown with trees. On the northern portion 
of the site, there is a paved pedestrian path providing access to an 
entrance to the Utica Avenue subway station located near Fulton Street. 
There is a single temporary structure on the site: a New York Police 
Department (NYPD) guardhouse located at the corner of Fulton Street and 
Utica Avenue.
    The HPD Site was identified by HPD in its Bedford-Stuyvesant 
Housing Plan as the Fulton-Utica Site. The Housing Plan states that 
development proposals for the site should incorporate community 
facility uses and programming that incorporate youth enrichment 
activities and recreation. The site design should improve the 
pedestrian experience, and amenities should be catered to the 
historically underserved neighborhood.
Other Area
    Although included in the Project Area, no development would occur 
in either the portion of Block 1708, Lot 1 west of Utica Avenue or the 
area south of Block 1702, Lot 1 and north of Block 1708, Lot 1 (this 
area is not part of such Tax Lots; it is the former roadbed of Herkimer 
Street). This area is unimproved. The total area west of Utica Avenue 
to be rezoned is approximately 66,642 SF which comprises the 38,514 SF 
HPD Site and approximately 28,128 SF of area where no development would 
occur.

C. Preliminary Purpose and Need

    The purpose and need statement establishes the basis for developing 
and evaluating a range of reasonable alternatives for environmental 
review and assists with the identification of a Preferred Alternative.
    The purpose of the Proposed Action is to improve site conditions in 
the Project Area consistent with statutory requirements, approved 
plans, zoning requirements, and existing agreements.
    The needs of the Proposed Action are:

--Provide affordable and market rate housing;
--Incorporate community facility and other uses in the Project Area 
consistent with approved plans;
--Rehabilitate underutilized public spaces; and
--Facilitate the direct relocation of tenants in existing housing units 
into new housing units.

D. Preliminary Description of Alternatives the EIS Will Consider

    Consistent with Section 102(2)(C)(iii) of NEPA, the EIS will 
examine a reasonable range of alternatives, including an analysis of 
any negative environmental impacts of not implementing the proposed 
agency action in the case of a no action alternative, that are 
technically and economically feasible, and meet the purpose and need of 
the proposal. As a result of the project planning efforts to date, the 
alternatives currently proposed for evaluation in the EIS include:
    (a) No Action Alternative;
    (b) Preferred Alternative; and
    (c) No Unmitigated Significant Adverse Impacts Alternative.
    The No Action Alternative assumes no major rehabilitation or 
improvements to the Project Area. Only routine maintenance would be 
completed to maintain housing and sites for residents and the public. 
At some point, maintenance repairs would no longer be cost effective, 
and the deteriorating site conditions could result in additional 
underutilization of the Project Area. Additionally, it would not be 
feasible to develop affordable nor market rate housing in the Project 
Area under the No Action Alternative.
    The Preferred Alternative would redevelop the underutilized Fulton 
Park and HPD sites with a mixed-use development program that responds 
to the needs of the community, allows for the provision of new 
community facility space, updates and improves the site layout and 
connectivity, builds a substantial amount of new affordable and market 
rate housing, and relocates tenants of the existing housing units

[[Page 13049]]

into new housing units. By facilitating the development of 
approximately 2,035 dwelling units (DUs) (including 209 Section 8 DUs 
as replacements for the existing housing units, 351 100-percent 
affordable DUs at the HPD Site, and 337 to 505 new permanently-
affordable units pursuant to Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH)), the 
Preferred Alternative would help address the needs of Brooklyn CD 3 and 
would be in support of the goals and objectives of several applicable 
public policies aiming to address the needs for affordable housing 
throughout the City. Such policies include the Bedford-Stuyvesant 
Housing Plan, Housing Our Neighbors: A Blueprint for Housing and 
Homelessness, and Where We Live NYC.
    The Preferred Alternative would seek the following local actions 
with respect to the Project Area:

--Urban Development Action Area Project (UDAAP) designation, project 
approval, and disposition of city-owned property at Block 1702, p/o Lot 
1 (the HPD Site).
--Amendment to the Second Amended Fulton Park Urban Renewal Plan (URP) 
to reflect the disposition action above and amend the use designation 
of (i) the HPD Site (Site 8A of the URP) from Public/Quasi-public land 
to Residential and/or Commercial and (ii) the Fulton Park Site (Sites 7 
and 8 of the URP) from Residential to Residential and/or Commercial.

    An amendment of Zoning Map 17a to rezone Brooklyn Block 1702, Lot 
1, and Block 1708, Lot 1 from an R6B to (A) an R8X/C2-4 zoning district 
beginning at the intersection the centerline of Atlantic Avenue and the 
extension of the western street line of Utica Avenue a boundary line 
perpendicular to Atlantic Avenue running north approximately 679'-0'' 
to the centerline of Fulton Street, then east a distance of 514'-2'', 
then south perpendicular to Fulton Street a distance of 100' from the 
southern Fulton Street street line, then west a distance of 119'-3'' 
parallel to Fulton Street, then at an angle of 124 degrees in the south 
westerly direction a distance of 134'-1'' parallel to Utica Avenue, 
then south in a line perpendicular to Atlantic Avenue a distance of 
243'-5'', then east parallel to Atlantic Avenue to the centerline of 
Hunterfly Place, then along the centerline of Hunterfly Place to the 
centerline of Atlantic Avenue, then along Atlantic Avenue to the 
westerly side of Utica Avenue; (B) an R7D/C2-4 zoning beginning in the 
midpoint of Rochester Avenue westerly a distance of 250' along the 
centerline of Fulton Street, then south a distance of 140' 
perpendicular to Fulton Street, then 250' easterly to the centerline of 
Rochester Avenue, then north along the centerline of Rochester Avenue 
to the centerline of Fulton Street; (C) an R6D zoning district 
beginning at the intersection of the centerlines of Herkimer Street and 
Rochester Avenue along the centerline of Herkimer Street to the 
intersection with the centerline of Hunterfly Place, then along the 
centerline of Hunterfly Place a distance to 222'-11'', then westerly 
244'-7'' parallel to Atlantic Avenue, then north perpendicular to 
Atlantic Avenue a distance of 243'5'', then at an angle in the north 
westerly direction a line parallel to Utica Avenue a distance of 134'-
1'', then in the easterly direction a line parallel to Herkimer Street 
to the centerline of Rochester Avenue, then along the centerline of 
Rochester Avenue to the centerline of Herkimer Street.

--An amendment to the text of Appendix F of the Zoning Resolution to 
designate the Project Area as an MIH Area, as required by the MIH 
program. Such designation will facilitate the replacement of the 
existing housing units and creation of new permanently affordable 
dwelling units. As identified in the City's housing plans and in 
various local planning efforts, the City is in dire need of affordable 
housing. Consistent with such needs, the Proposed Development will 
create a substantial amount of new affordable housing units.
--An authorization to modify the location and width of curb cuts as 
required under 25-631 pursuant to 25-631 (f)(2). The curb cuts, as 
currently proposed, would be 12 feet wide and located in the same 
locations as the existing 35-foot wide curb cuts on Utica Avenue and at 
the intersection of Hunterfly Place and Herkimer Street. The proposed 
curb cuts decrease the degree of existing non-compliance with the 
applicable curb cut location and width requirements.
--In addition, the Applicants are seeking the following Federal action: 
HUD approval to amend the current HAP contract that covers the 209 
existing units on the site.
--It is possible that the Applicants could seek additional funding or 
financing through discretionary State actions at a later date. The 
environmental review for the Preferred Alternative under CEQR also 
satisfies SEQRA.

    Alternatives may be revised based on the consideration of public 
and agency comments. The range of reasonable alternatives will be 
finalized after consideration of comments received during the comment 
period on this notice and will be documented in the Draft EIS.

E. Expected Environmental Effects and Anticipated Permits and Other 
Authorizations

    The EIS will evaluate the reasonably foreseeable environmental 
impacts resulting from the implementation of a reasonable range of 
alternatives. The following resources and issues have been identified 
for evaluation in the EIS and supporting documents: Land Use, Zoning, 
and Public Policy; Socioeconomic Conditions; Community Facilities and 
Services; Open Space; Shadows; Historic and Cultural Resources/Historic 
Preservation; Urban Design and Visual Resources; Natural Resources; 
Hazardous Materials; Water and Sewer Infrastructure; Transportation; 
Air Quality; Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change; Noise; Public 
Health; Neighborhood Character; Construction; and Effects on 
Disadvantaged Communities.
    The DSOW includes a preliminary list of anticipated permits and 
approvals from Federal and local agencies. DCP and HPD will coordinate 
with appropriate Cooperating Agencies, Participating Agencies, and 
entities for compliance with Federal, state, and local laws. DCP and 
HPD invite all interested parties to participate in the Public Scoping 
Meeting.

F. Description of Scoping Process and Schedule for the Decisionmaking 
Process

    The publication of this NOI initiates the public scoping period. 
All interested Federal, state, and local agencies; Indian Tribes; and 
the public are invited to comment on the scoping documents, including 
comments on the identification of potential alternatives and 
significant environmental issues, information, and analyses relevant to 
the Proposed Action. Agencies with jurisdiction over natural or other 
public resources affected by the project or that possess information 
about the Project Area that DCP and HPD should consider in the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) are invited to submit comments, 
as Cooperating Agencies and Participating Agencies, to the individuals 
named in this NOI.
    No decisions about the project will be made at the Public Scoping 
Meeting.
    After the public scoping period, DCP and the Applicants will 
compile comments received to develop a Final Scope of Work for the DEIS 
and will

[[Page 13050]]

prepare the DEIS. The DEIS will analyze the potential environmental 
effects of the chosen alternatives that meet the Proposed Action's 
purpose and need. Once the DEIS is complete, it will be made available 
to the public through a Notice of Availability posted in the Federal 
Register and on <a href="https://zap.planning.nyc.gov/projects/2024K0294">https://zap.planning.nyc.gov/projects/2024K0294</a>. A 
Notice of Availability of the DEIS is anticipated to be published in 
the Spring of 2026. A minimum 45-day public comment period will 
commence on the date of publication, and a public hearing will be held 
during that period. Additionally, the availability of the DEIS and 
public comment opportunities will be announced through public notices, 
public mailings, and local news media.
    After the DEIS public comment period, a Final Environmental Impact 
Statement (FEIS) will be prepared. At this time, it is anticipated that 
a Notice of Availability of the FEIS will be published in the Fall 
2026, after which it is anticipated a Record of Decision (ROD) will be 
issued.
