Coney Island Comprehensive Rezoning Plan
Public Review

Overview | Existing Context and Zoning | The Proposal | Public Review

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.

Since then, the DCP and the CIDC have held many public meetings to present the goals and objectives and the plan and to receive feedback from the community. This interactive process has helped shaped the final proposal.

The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Economic Development, as environmental lead agency, issued a Notice of Completion for a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the proposal, on January 16, 2009.

The proposal began formal public review on January 20, 2009 with the Department of City Planning’s certification of the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) applications and referral of the related non-ULURP zoning text amendment.

A Public Hearing on the DEIS was held by the City Planning Commission and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Economic Development in conjunction with the ULURP process on May 6, 2009. Public comments on the DEIS were received for a ten day period following the May 6th public hearing. On June 5, 2009, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Economic Development issued the Notice of Completion for the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Coney Island Rezoning plan.
