Queens community board rejects plans for Woodside development

A development in Woodside was
rejected by board members in
a Queens community board
last week.
On June 7, Community Board 2
voted against plans for a proposed
development at 69-02 Queens Blvd. in
Woodside. The plan was proposed by
Madison Realty Capital and would include
two separate towers that would
house 561 apartments.
The 14-story and 17-story buildings
would also include 5,600 square feet of
retail, and 242 above-ground parking
spots, as fi rst reported by the Commercial
Observer.
Local residents and elected offi cials
spoke out against the plan, including
Councilman Robert Holden, whose
district covers part of Woodside. Last
month, Holden announced that he
rejected Madison Realty's bid to be
granted a zoning variance that would
allow them to build the towers higher
than what is currently allowed.
As of now, Madison would only
be able to build a 12-story building
consisting of 289 apartments, 58 of
which could be aff ordable housing.
Their plans for the Woodside development
would include almost double
the amount of apartment units, 168 of
which would be aff ordable.
During the monthly community
board meeting back in May, members
of the community also voiced similar
sentiments against the development.
Detractors said that the Woodside
buildings would bring unwanted
consequences to the neighborhood
including increased street traffic,
overcrowding in local schools and
gentrifi cation.
Though it was rejected by the local
community board, Madison Realty
Capital's plan will go through several
levels of review, including the Queens
borough president, City Planning
Commission and the City Council.
