Plate 62 of 102BrooklynBrooklyn Community Board 8

1110 Atlantic Avenue

This site can hold about 205–260 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable housing. The top of that range is set by the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52); qualifying senior housing is exempt from it and could hold up to about 292. The City's LIFT tracker lists 167 homes.

The 167 is the City Planning Commission's 2025 projection for the site; no developer had been named.

What City documents say

Facts from City documents that bear on the figures below. Each is quoted in the sources, and each speaks as of its document's date.

  • Operating MTA cable repair shop on the lot

    In March 2025 the City Planning Commission described the lot as City-owned, leased to New York City Transit and used by the MTA as a cable repair shop that is slated for relocation.

  • City may take back part of the lot for NYC Transit

    The approved acquisition (C 250018 PQK) lets the City reacquire a portion of the lot if NYC Transit facilities remain in a future development. No size for that portion has been published, so the figures cover the whole lot.

  • Disposition approved in the 2025 Atlantic Avenue plan

    The disposition of Block 1126, Lot 32 (C 250021 PPK) was approved as part of the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan; the City Council vote was on May 28, 2025. No developer has been named; the City planned a future RFP.

  • Neighboring MTA vehicle-storage lot is not part of the site

    Lot 57 next door (30,230 sq ft) is owned by the MTA and used for vehicle storage. The City's actions name only Lot 32.

Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.

What binds first

Split zoning (needs a closer read)

The lot is divided between zoning districts (M1-2A/R6A and M1-4A/R9A), each covering at least a tenth of it. Floor area is computed portion by portion. Where the district line falls on the lot shapes what can go where, so the figures above deserve a closer read against the zoning map.

What the neighborhood asked for

Brooklyn Community Board 8's formal requests to the City, from its annual Statement of Community District Needs and Budget Requests.

Each quotation below was found word for word on the cited page by script. None reviewed by a person yet.

Housing the board asked for

  • HousingCapital request to Department of Housing Preservation & Development

    Provide more housing for special needs households, such as the formerly homeless

    “Seniors, the disabled, and homeless singles not in need of supportive services are often left out of housing conversations and forced to compete for scant …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 46 · priority 2 of 2 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseThe Executive Budget includes a city-wide allocation for this work. Specific locations are determined by the Agency.

Other requests in these categories

  • LibrariesExpense request to Brooklyn Public Library

    Extend library hours or expand and enhance library programs

    “We urge the restoration of funds to the Brooklyn Public Library system. In addition, encourage an increased budget for library operations, hours, and services so …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 50 · priority 1 of 2 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseThis request has already been funded.

  • LibrariesExpense request to Brooklyn Public Library

    Greater funding for book and digital library purchases

    “Brooklyn Public Library and the greater library system across the city is a gem and cultural and recreational necessity. …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 51 · priority 2 of 2 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseRestoring and/or increasing funding is needed for this request. It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your elected officials i.e. Borough President and/or City Council Member.

  • Community spaceExpense request to Department of Youth & Community Development

    Increase resources for youth crime prevention programs

    The board's title names another request type; it filed this with Department of Youth & Community Development as “Provide, expand, or enhance Cornerstone and Beacon programs (all ages, including young adults)”.

    “There is certainty that kids without productive and stimulating activities will engage in illegal activities not out of malice, but rather out of boredom. The midnight basketball program implemented in the 1990s was effective in reducing youth crime by offering alternative activities and stimulation. …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 59 · priority 5 of 5 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseThis request has already been completed. Explanation: DYCD funds three community centers in the district in addition to 2 Saturday Night Lights sports programs and many COMPASS afterschool programs.

  • Open spaceCapital request to Department of Parks and Recreation

    FY2027 statement, p. 45 · priority 22 of 22 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseThe agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.

4 other requests in these categories are listed on the web page.

What gets in the way

Flags are flags, not verdicts. Each comes from a public layer, named in the sources.

  • Caution

    (E) designation E-810

    An environmental requirement (hazardous materials) must be satisfied before the Department of Buildings issues permits for new development.

  • Caution

    Split zoning

    The lot is divided between zoning districts (M1-2A/R6A and M1-4A/R9A), each covering at least a tenth of it. Floor area is computed portion by portion.

  • Note

    In a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area

    MIH option 1 applies, so new housing here must include permanently affordable homes (ZR 27-131).

  • Note

    In the Special Atlantic Avenue Mixed Use District

    Keeps the maximum floor area ratio for each use and sets the total for buildings mixing residential and non-residential uses in M1A pairings (5.0 in M1-2A/R6A); a public plaza bonus needs a City Planning Commission authorization. It does not change the floor area figures above.

  • Note

    Recently rezoned

    Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan (AAMUP), C 250014 ZMK / N 250015 ZRK / C 250018 PQK / C 250021 PPK, plus follow-up text amendment N 250217 ZRK. The City Council adopted it on May 28, 2025. The figures above use the zoning now in effect.

What this doesn't account for

Public data and the zoning text answer the questions above. These need information that is not public, or a decision that belongs to the City.

  • Public land use review (ULURP). Selling or leasing City land, or approving a housing project on it, generally goes through ULURP (community board, borough president, City Planning Commission, City Council), and this estimate does not presume the outcome.
  • Disposition of City property (Charter 384 / UDAAP). Transferring the land needs Mayoral approval under Charter Sec. 384 and, for HPD projects, usually Urban Development Action Area designation and project approval under NY General Municipal Law Article 16.
  • Environmental review (CEQR/SEQRA). Any discretionary approval, disposition or City funding triggers CEQR/SEQRA review, which can require mitigation (e.g. for hazardous materials, noise or historic resources) or reshape the project.
  • (E) designations. A lot with an (E) designation or environmental restrictive declaration for hazardous materials, air quality or noise cannot receive building permits until the Office of Environmental Remediation signs off.
  • Subsurface and site conditions. Unknown soil, rock, groundwater and contamination can shrink or eliminate cellars and add foundation and cleanup costs, and HPD requires every project to investigate and, if needed, remediate contamination.
  • Deed restrictions and reverter clauses. Land the City bought or sold may carry deed restrictions or reverter clauses limiting its use, which must be checked in title records (ACRIS) and DCAS's deed-restriction database.
  • Parkland alienation. If a site is municipal parkland, it cannot be sold or used for housing without an act of the State Legislature signed by the Governor.
  • Current occupants, uses and agency plans. Many City-owned lots are in active use or assigned to an agency, or have funded capital projects, and this estimate does not reflect relocation needs or agency plans (check COLP and the Capital Commitment Plan).
  • Mapped streets, easements and utilities. Mapped-but-unbuilt ('paper') streets, sewer and water easements and utility lines can take land out of the buildable area, and no permit may be issued for a building in the bed of a mapped street.
  • Street access. A lot with no frontage on a mapped street cannot get a building permit on its own and must be combined with a neighboring lot or have access mapped.
  • Landmarks review. Sites that are individual landmarks or inside historic districts need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, which can limit demolition, height and bulk.
  • Flood-resistant construction. Sites in the 1% annual chance floodplain (or the 0.2% shaded X-Zone for critical facilities) must meet Building Code Appendix G, whose elevation and floodproofing rules can cost usable ground-floor and cellar space.
  • Airport height limits. Near JFK, LaGuardia and Floyd Bennett Field, zoning flight-obstruction surfaces cap building height, and tall structures anywhere need FAA notice.
  • State and federal funding conditions. Federal or State money brings its own requirements (e.g. HUD environmental review under 24 CFR Part 58, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Section 3 hiring) that can change cost, timing and program.
  • Zoning capacity is a ceiling, not a plan. The figures show what zoning allows, and actual HPD projects often build less, for example to fit neighborhood context, a community facility or funding limits.

On September 25, 2026, the MapPLUTO records and zoning district map behind this page were compared with DCP's live MapPLUTO (26v2) and zoning district layers for its lot; every compared field and district boundary matched. A separate calculation, written from the method page and run on the same downloaded City data on September 25, 2026, reproduced the lot area (25,749 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 144,994; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 177,161; community facility 144,694 sq ft), the homes (low 207, base 256, high 260), and the flags and what limits the site first.
