A LETTER FROM CIDC PRESIDENT LYNN KELLY
Exciting News - Redevelopment and Rezoning Plan
January 20, 2009
Dear Residents and Friends of Coney Island:
I am writing with some very exciting news.
The City Planning Commission today certified the submission of the City's comprehensive redevelopment and rezoning plan. This marks the beginning of a very important public review process otherwise know as ULURP (the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure) that will take place over the next seven months -- a process that will include reviews by the Community Board, the Borough President, the City Planning Commission, and the City Council, as well as many opportunities for public comment and testimony. We have worked extremely hard over the past several years to get to this point -- and we are grateful for the incredibly important input and guidance we have received from countless Coney Island residents and leaders -- and now look forward to laying the groundwork for a true renaissance in Coney Island.
In the next few weeks, we'll be in touch with more information about the review calendar and about how you can participate. But in the meantime, I wanted to make sure you were aware of this important step, and let you know that you can always reach us with any questions. In addition, you can check the Department of City Planning's website for updated information and you can download documents related to the environmental review process for the project at the Mayor's Office of Environmental Coordination website. And of course we will continue to update the CIDC's website to keep you informed as the project moves forward.
Thanks for your dedication to Coney Island. I look forward to working with you in the coming months.
Best,
Lynn Kelly
President
