Vicki Garvey, land use director for Queensboro President Donovan Richards and chairing the hearing, opened the hybrid land use public hearing, explained in-person/virtual testimony rules, registration, and written testimony deadlines (received by 5:00 PM today). She called the first two related calendar items (ULURP numbers 2550290 ZMQ and N250291 ZRQ, applicant 8866 Myrtle LLC, Community Board 8).
This Queens Borough President land use public hearing considered two linked rezoning applications: 8866 Myrtle LLC for 164th Street (proposed R32→R6A/C24; 80 units) which drew unanimous community board and resident opposition, and 6302 Fresh Pond Road LLC (proposed R5B→R6A/C24; ~54 units) which won a conditional community board recommendation. Public testimony focused on density, parking, infrastructure, sunlight/solar impacts and community outreach.
