In a Power Move That Failed…..<\/strong>
\nMayor de Blasio overstepping his authority<\/strong> had signed an Emergency Executive Order six days ago, to null and void the argument<\/strong> regarding virtual vs. in-person hearings.<\/p>\n

During the court hearing on the 960 Franklin Ave rezoning<\/strong> the Judge refused to consider this order which\u00a0expired yesterday and decided to uphold the Temporary Restraining Order “TRO”,<\/strong> stopping the ULURP process.\u00a0 Below are few additional details:<\/p>\n

The ULURP Clock has stopped on this rezoning application.<\/p>\n

Parties will create a new TRO order,<\/strong> which clearly prohibits conducting of any official hearings and voting officially on the 960 Franklin Ave rezoning Project.<\/p>\n

The City, working with Community Board 9 “CB9”,<\/strong> will find a location to conduct “safe” social distancing space\u00a0<\/strong>in order for residents who want to attend the hearing<\/strong> but do not have WiFi, high speed internet or up to date equipment to participate.<\/p>\n

Petitioners will engage in non internet\u00a0outreach to the community.<\/strong> i.e. handing out fliers etc…<\/p>\n

The hearing\/meeting<\/strong> (the Judge did not care what it was called, to her it was a “mess”) that was conducted on February 24, 2021<\/strong>, which had a 100-person capacity, leaving hundreds of people “out in the cold”, <\/strong>should be done over.<\/p>\n

All future dates for meetings\/hearings\u00a0<\/strong>must take into consideration the holidays coming up including Passover and Easter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Petitioners will resubmit their arguments\u00a0<\/strong>surrounding missing documents in a brief<\/strong> with exhibits displayed separately.<\/p>\n

This was a major win for the community.<\/strong>\u00a0 Because it appeared that the City wanted to just zoom through the community<\/strong> without giving everyone a chance to attend the hearings and be able to comment on this project. We promise to keep you informed<\/strong> and let you know when CB9 begins to engage in meetings<\/strong> regarding the 960 Franklin Ave rezoning.<\/p>\n

This should also give Community Board 9<\/strong> an opportunity to provide more information to the community about this project, instead of depending upon the developers!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
