Important Meeting Regarding Future Of Gowanus Canal Area

oo

This Monday Evening, Amanda Burden, Chairperson of the City Planning Commission is coming to the neighborhood to speak about the Gowanus area rezoning.

An update by Commissioner Burden on the department's land use activities related to the Gowanus Canal corridor. Developed from January through July 2007, the Department of City Planning created a
land use framework for the Gowanus Canal corridor. The framework is a set of guiding principles relating to issues including use, density, bulk, and waterfront access, intended to provide standards for
 formulating and evaluating proposals for future land use changes. In May 2008, the Department of City Planning shared its draft rezoning proposal for 25 blocks along the Gowanus Canal with Brooklyn Community Board 6 and the community-at- large. Commissioner Amanda Burden will
meet with the community to give an informational update on the status of the department's land use activities and address any concerns.

THE TOLL BROS PROJECT IS BASED ON THIS REZONING PROPOSAL AND WILL SET A
PRECEDENT FOR IT – ANY CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING TOLL BROTHERS PROPOSAL CAN BE ADDRESSED TO THE WHOLE FRAMEWORK.
