Urgent Community Meeting April 16, 2024

by

Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 16. We need you to come, to demonstrate to our elected officials that we care about housing and keeping it consistent with our neighborhood.

Our elected officials have been invited.  Shahana Hanif’s office has confirmed their attendance, and her support is pivotal in this issue.

The only way our elected officials can help us get what we want is for us to let them know what we want. Your attendance is important to deliver this message.

Please join us on April 16 at 7:00pm at Shepherd’s Hall in the Holy Name of Jesus Church (enter by way of the parking lot at 245 Prospect Park West).

Agenda:

  • Welcome and thanks to our community
  • Background on Housing Not High-Rises (formerly Arrow Action)
  • Updates on city-wide zoning efforts via the City of Yes initiative
  • Reports from subcommittees, including recent meetings with our representatives
  • Neighborhood outreach and request for more signatures on our petition
  • Q&A
  • Post-meeting committee sign-up

We are looking forward to seeing you on April 16!

Thanks,

  – Chris, Jack, Jay, Julia, Kate, Marty, Phil and Steph

We are disappointed to announce that on December 16, 2024 the City Planning Commission voted to approve Arrow Linen’s rezoning, at the requested zoning designation of R7-1. Now that City of Yes has passed, this now means 15 stories and almost 10% more buildable square feet than they even asked for. We now need your support more than ever as the application moves to its final phase with Council Member Hanif!

We Need You!

It is now vitally important for us to get the support of our Council Member Shahana Hanif to limit this rezoning. She decides what gets approved in this process, can dictate changes to the scale and scope of the rezoning, and the full Council generally votes with the local member on land use decisions.

We urge you to send email, call and send letters. Her email is district39@council.nyc.gov. Her phone number is (718) 499-1090. Her postal address is 197 Bond St, Brooklyn, NY 11217.

We have an email you can send to the Council Member with one click (feel free to edit as you like). Please click here to send an email to Council Member Hanif. If you have problems wtih the email link, please click here for a message you can copy and paste in your email.

After December 30, the land use review process (ULURP) moves on to the City Council. We are keeping a close eye on the City Council’s calendar for 2025 to see when the hearing and vote will be scheduled. We will send you an email as we learn more. If you are not on our mailing list, please sign our Petition Against Rezoning of 441 and 467 Prospect Avenue and include your email address; we will add you to our mailing list.
