This is a follow-up reminder about upcoming meetings, specifically 4, related to the Gowanus Rezoning/ Rezoning adjacent items.

First, as officially announced earlier this week, Thursday, June 3rd, is our joint public hearing with Brooklyn Community Board 2. The hearing will start at 330 PM, and people will be able to participate over zoom and in person at Washington Park. For details on how to submit testimony and register, click here. This hearing also has a rain date for the following Thursday, June 10th. 

Second, to limit the amount of possible rescheduling and force us to hold a late Friday meeting, the Landmarks/ Land Use Committee will meet on Thursday, June 17th. At the June 17th meeting, it is expected that a motion will be made to approve or disapprove, with various conditions, the Gowanus Rezoning.

The third meeting will be our June 23rd Full Board meeting. During the June 23rd meeting, the anticipated motion from the Land Use Committee will be voted on by the entire board.

Fourth, the day after the June Full Board meeting, on Thursday, June 24th, we'll hold another Landmarks/Land Use meeting with, at this point, at least two ULURP items. One for the Gowanus CSO tank demapping and another an M2-1 to C4-4A along Third Avenue between 12th and 13th streets.

If you’re a board member, you’ll be receiving appropriate zoom links for these meetings over the coming days. Please note that such links for the June 3rd public will be from the Department of City Planning and not our CB6 zoom account.
