Public outreach and community involvement prior review of applications pursuant to the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) are important components in the further development of the rezoning proposal.


Public Meetings
On November 8, 2007, Mayor Bloomberg unveiled the City's vision for Coney Island at an event held by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce at Gargiulo's restaurant, one of Coney Island's long-standing neighborhood institutions.

Following the Mayor's announcement of the City's vision, the Department presented the proposed comprehensive rezoning plan at a public meeting held by the Coney Island Development Corporation at Our Lady of Solace Church on Mermaid Avenue at W.17th Street.

Future public meetings will be held to solicit feedback and build consensus on the proposed rezoning plan.  The dates and locations of the public meetings will be posted on this web site.

Interagency Coordination

The Department is coordinating its efforts with those of other City agencies working in this area, including the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), the Mayor's Office of Environmental Coordination (OEC), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), and elected officials. 

Implementation of the proposal is anticipated to require preparation of a draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). A critical component of this phase of the project is the draft scope of work, which details the topics to be addressed in the DEIS, the methods of analysis to be used, and possible alternatives to mitigate or eliminate potential significant impacts of the proposed action. A public scoping meeting will be held on February 13 to solicit comment and input from all affected and interested parties with regard to the draft scope of work. Public comment, received at that session and in submitted written testimony, will be carefully considered as the Department finalizes the scope of work for the project. Upon completion of the draft EIS the formal public review process (ULURP) begins with certification and referral of the land use applications to the Community Board and Borough President.
