Developers want a rezoning due to parts of Brookly Developers want a rezoning due to parts of Brooklyn Community Board 9 being next to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and Prospect Park.

This includes Franklin, Bedford, Rogers, and Flatbush Aves, and Empire Blvd.

Other areas in CB9 want to do a rezoning to get a trade off to get additional protections in their area (downsizing decrease in heights) or to support the property owners and developers.

Brooklyn Borough President Reynoso has put pro-developers on CB9 within the last few years. Also refuses to respond to Freedom of Information Act Request to disclose who new board members are.

Chairman Fred Baptiste just stacked CB9 land use committee with four more white males who are all pro real estate, despite community being predominately Black community.

Now the committee is comprised of…

7 white people (6 males who have publicly stated their support for City of Yes Housing Text Anendments and/or support for Towers in the community)

2 Black people (1 male coming from the Mayor’s Office of Economic Opportunity and may not even live in the community)

1 Hispanic

1 Asian, Chairperson of CB9’s land use and who has been pushing for trade off to benefit her part of the community for over a decade, under the pretense of a “study” request.

Already several of these white makes on the land use committee are making claims that the demand for equal Black representation is simply a ploy of antisemitism and anti-white rhetoric and tensions are rising between racial and religious lines.

This can be dangerous as this community has been known to have racial relations issues going back decades with riots breaking out.
White males have now seized control of our black c White males have now seized control of our black community

Gentrification in Crown Heights/Flatbush

Our elected officials (Councilwoman Crystal Hudson and Brooklyn Borough President Reynoso) and Brooklyn Botanic Garden are plotting to engage in a rezoning of our neighborhood via “Special District” that would open us up to massive luxury towers and somehow protect BBG and our playgrounds, and College from shadows???

Community Board 9, headed by Fred Baptist (aka “King Fred”) and District Manager Dante Arnwine, (who is running for City Council against Councilwoman Darlene Mealy) just dropped the finishing touches on this plan.

They have placed 7 white men, out of 11 committee members to speak for this predominately Black community. Only two Black people have been placed on this committee.

Despite gentrification and rezonings that have given us “affordable” housing that is above market rate and is slowly pushing out Black residents, CB9 is still a predominately Black community.

The area that is being targeted for the rezoning via a “Special District” Empire Blvd and the surrounding areas (Ebbets Field, Tivoli Towers, Sterling St, 1 and 2, Sullivan, Ludlum, Stoddard, Washington Ave), has over 70% black people.

However, we now have a majority of white males deciding upon Landuse issues in our community.

Our *elected officials have refused to disclose information about who they are, where they live, and their affiliations with city wide groups like “Open New York”.

Call to Action

Come out to CB9’s Land Use Committee!

Tuesday, October 10, 2024 at 7 pm

Location: 890 Nostrand Ave

Directions: 2 and 5 trains to President Street

Our Demands

We demand to have equal representation on the most important committee in CB9, the land use committee.

We demand full disclosure of the people who have been placed on our board, to “represent” us.

We demand that land use committee members reflect the racial composition of our neighborhood!
