Cornell Resubmitted
\nIts Rezoning Application<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Update<\/h3>\n

After the successful campaign<\/strong> to stop Continuum from building 480 \u00a0foot tall towers\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>in the height limited zone of 60 ft on Franklin Ave in Brooklyn along the Brooklyn Botanic Garden “BBG”, developers sued each othe<\/a><\/span>r and Cornell brought back the Spice\u00a0Factory Land from Continuum<\/a><\/span>. (Cornell was the mastermind behind the idea of developing along the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.)<\/p>\n

Cornell resubmitted a new\u00a0rezoning application in June of 2023, to build a\u00a014 story\u00a0building<\/strong> where the Spice Factory is. \u00a0The new application is proposing a drastic reduction in heights and a smaller area from the previous one, but the Department of City Planning has stated that it will still cause negative Environmental Impacts to Brooklyn Botanic Garden.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thus, there is a “Scoping Hearing<\/strong>” that has been planned to hear from the community, residents and of course the Brooklyn Botanic Garden regarding proposed negative environmental\u00a0impacts on BBG.<\/p>\n
