BROOKLYN COMMUNITY BOARD #7

RANDOLPH PEERS, CHAIRPERSON
JEREMY LAUFER, DISTRICT MANAGER

PUBLIC HEARING
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2007 @ 6:30 P.M. at the Board Office
4201 4TH AVENUE (ENTRANCE ON 43RD STREET).

The agenda is as follows:

ULURP Application #N080110 ZRY – Zoning Text Amendments – To amend the Zoning Resolution regarding six bulk modifications and a clarification:

• Coverage on small corner lots for Quality Housing buildings
• Density for undersized lots to be determined by underlying zoning
• Dormers in rear setback areas for Quality Housing buildings
• Adjustments to maximum base heights for Quality Housing buildings
• Permitted obstructions to height and setback regulations
• Waiver of side yards in R3-1, R3-2, R4 and R5 non-contextual districts by BSA special permit
• The amendments also include clarification of the applicability of residential tower regulations in certain commercial districts

PERSONAL NOTE: this may have adverse effects to our rezoning, specifically downzoning of Park Slope, South Park Slope and Greenwood Hts. and the rezoning of Sunset park, so researching this topic and speaking out is important. Fore more info on the Text Changes, go here: http://www.aiany.org/committees/PlanningUrbanDesign/zoning/ Their diagrams say 1000 words. And all of this was done without proper public scrutiny, from the Boards, elected officials or civic groups in the past 3 years! Sneaking it by?
