You can register and see the meeting agenda here. As previewed yesterday, and due to our Permits and Licenses committee approval, the agenda is now set and includes the liquor license request for285 Nevins Street. There’s a lotmore on the agenda, so we will have to move quickly unless folks want to zoom well into the night.
Speaking of agendas, our most significant charter mandated role will be activated in 2021. The Department of City Planning made its much-anticipated announcement that they plan to certify the Gowanus Neighborhood Plan on January 19th, 2021. At that point, our public review, as part of what is known as the Uniform Land Use Review Process (ULURP), begins
We will undoubtedly have several post-certification meetings in addition to the precertification meetings held over the past few weeks, and I’m optimistic that DCP staff members will be regular presenters at the meetings.
The pending Gowanus rezoning is the most extensive rezoning of the Mayor’s term and the most significant thing, as far as land use, that’s been before CB6 in my time and maybe ever. While this is a necessary process under the City Charter, we have a solemn obligation to our community and city, so it is critical that we as a board focus on the proposal's content.
Anyway, that’s all I’ve got to say, for now, don’t forget tomorrow night's board meeting, stay safe and have a good Tuesday.
P.S Please forgive any typos or brain freezes in the text as I get these updates out in haste at the end of the day, and if there is a community-centric item you think I should know aboutplease reach out.
