B
A
Know
already
I'm
Talisha
sameville
and,
along
with
Gregory
Alvarez,
we
are
the
co-chairs
of
the
housing
and
land
use
committee
I
think
this
evening.
The
chair,
Joanne
Brown,
wanted
to
say
a
few
words,
but
before
I
passed,
the
mic
over
to
her
I
just
want
to
introduce
our
speaker
this
evening,
who
is
David,
Weiss
glass
from
Department
of
City,
Planning
and
he'll,
be
talking
to
us
a
little
bit
after
the
chair
has
and
said
her
her
piece
of
this.
C
Go
ahead.
Thank
you
very
much.
Co-Chairs
of
this
committee,
just
I'll,
be
very
brief.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
TCP
for
being
here
tonight.
Getting
this
information
out
early
to
the
community
last
year
was
a
really
challenging
year
in
terms
of
looking
at
proposed
text
amendments,
and
we
really
appreciate
the
community
engagement
early
on.
C
A
E
F
F
E
We
go
I
should
be
able
to
do
this
sharing
and
then
slideshow
from
the
beginning.
All
right,
let
me
try
to
reorganize
so
I
can
see.
Can
you
all
see
the
intro
slide?
I
got
here,
someone
give
me
a
yes
I,
actually
can't
see
the
yeah
right,
yes,
awesome!
Thank
you.
Everybody
all
right,
I'll,
give
you
just
a
quick
introduction
again
for
those
of
you
who
haven't
met.
My
name
is
David
weissglass
I
am
the
liaison
to
community
board
14.
E
The
reason
for
that
is
because
we
don't
have
a
deep
level
yet,
unlike
what
you
may
have
seen
in
previous
years
or
decades
or
whatever
DCB
does
not
really
have
any
interest
in.
You
know,
forming
all
the
texts
and
then
coming
to
communities
and
saying
hey,
here's
our
text.
What
do
you
think
we
are
really
seeking
to
form
these
amendments
and
the
specifics
within
them
in
collaboration
with
communities,
and
that
includes
Community
boards,
as
well
as
other
important
stakeholders
bids
other
neighborhood
groups,
local
businesses?
E
You
know
any
other
groups
that
really
have
a
stake
in
New
York
City,
which
is
anyone
who
lives
or
works
here
it.
It
really
touches
all
of
us
and
of
course
these
are
city-wide
text
amendments.
So
there
could
be.
You
know,
different
items
that
affect
different
places
differently,
of
course,
but
they're
intended
to
be
city-wide,
and
these
are
not.
You
know
targeting
specific
neighborhoods
necessarily,
and
so
that's
exciting
that
we
can
kind
of
look
at
our
text
and
see
what's
working
and
what's
not
so
we
don't
have
the
specifics
yet.
E
But
what
we
do
have
are
our
goals
right.
We
have
the
outcomes
that
we're
looking
for
and
I'm
going
to
describe
those
to
you
in
this
slot
and
these
slides
and
our
intentions.
Those
are
you
know,
formed
by
the
mayoral
Administration,
but
the
things
that
really
a
lot
of
people
I'll
just
tell
you
frankly
within
the
the
City
Planning
Department,
generally
share
these
outcomes
that
we're
looking
for
to
make
sure
that
our
growth
is
more
Equitable
and
fair
Greener
and
better.
B
E
E
At
the
end,
great
all
right,
the
first
one
is
zoning
for
zero
carbon.
We
have
a
lot
of
acronyms
for
these,
but
zzc
doesn't
really
roll
out
the
tongue
as
well
as
we'd
like
it
to
but
you'll
sleep
just
on
the
other
one
Zoning
for
zero
carbon
will
be
one
of
the
first
to
come
through.
So
we
have
an
overarching
goal
here
is
that
we
want
to
modernize
the
city's
zoning
regulations
to
make
sure
that
they
support
our
climate
goals.
E
I
left
a
lot
off
of
this
slide
in
terms
of
the
efforts
that
the
city-
and
you
know,
our
politicians
and
our
policy
makers
have
taken
and
the
steps
we've
taken
to
make
sure
that
we
can
encourage
Green
Building
in
the
future,
but
those
items
were
kind
of
separate
from
the
zoning
amendments.
Right
included
a
lot
of
efforts
to
support.
H
I
E
B
E
J
E
F
E
A
E
H
E
E
To
show
kind
of,
you
know
a
lot
of
the
guidance
and
and
some
of
the
stakeholders
we're
working
with
to
modernize
the
city
infrastructure
and
to
try
to
encourage
you
know
more
renewable
forms
of
of
energy
and
Greener
forms
and
more
sustainable
forms
of
consumption
as
well,
but
those
didn't
really
affect
the
zoning
resolution.
Those
were
things
that
were
separate.
What
we're
doing
now
is
saying:
hey
are
there
little
tweaks
that
we
can
actually
make
within
the
zoning
resolution
to
make
sure
that
those
efforts
that
we're
doing
outside
are
actually
more?
E
We
can
capitalize
upon
them
right.
They
can
be
a
little
bit
more
effective
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
that's
the
overarching
goal
again.
These
are
in
order
when
you
could
expect
to
see
them,
so
the
beginning
of
the
u-lord
process
would
probably
be
early
2023,
not
incredibly
far
off,
but
also
we
have
a
lot
to
do
before
we
get
there
right
and
by
the
time
we
get.
E
We'll
have
more
details
for
you,
even
before
public
review
even
begins
right
and
from
folks
who
are
working
on
it
more
in
depth
than
I
am
so
yeah.
A
couple
of
you
know
overarching
things
and
then
some
more
specificity
within
them
we'd
like
to
support
a
renewable
energy
grid
right.
So
we
want
to
get
rid
of
any
impediments
that
we
have
to
solar
panel
installations
right,
a
lot
of
rules
that
we
have
in
the
zoning
resolution.
E
As
many
of
you
may
know,
or
about
things
that
can
go
above
the
height
limit,
you
know
by
this
many
inches
or
that
many
inches.
Maybe
there
can
be
a
carve
out
or
something
for
something.
That's
renewable.
Maybe
we
can
increase
height
limits
for
something
that's
renewable
again.
We
haven't
formed
these.
Yet
these
are
just
general
thoughts
and
research
that
we've
been
doing.
E
Maybe
we
can
remove
limitations
to
we're
supporting
energy
storage
right
Community,
solar
micro
grids,
things
like
that,
and
our
goals
for
installing
soluble
yeah
I'm
just
going
to
go
to
the
PV
systems
and
energy
storage
systems
right
the
larger
facilities
that
support
our
green
energy
goals,
whether
they're,
private
or
publicly
developed.
They
still
need
to
meet
our
zoning
resolution.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
zoning
resolution
reflects
that
and
is
able
to
make
those
things
a
little
bit
easier
right
and
more
effective
our
individual
buildings.
E
We
want
to
make
sure
they're
clean.
We
want
to
make
sure
they're
efficient
right
there.
We
can
amend
our
zoning
to
support
our
construction
codes
right.
This
is
one
of
those
things
that
hadn't
affected
zoning.
That
I
was
talking
about.
Previously
we
updated
our
construction
codes
to
encourage
green
energy
and
and
prohibit
sometimes
the
things
that
are
really
not
green
and
they're,
not
helping
our
long-term
goals
of
you
know
sustainability.
Maybe
we
can
update
those
to
make
sure
that
there
are
more
syringent
requirements
on
Energy
Efficiency.
E
You
want
to
make
sure
your
zoning
Works
in
accordance
with
those
things
we
want
to
make
sure
the
zoning
also
supports
Next
Generation
to
Performance
Construction
renovation
right,
there's
very
little
things
with
folks
that
are
much
smarter
than
I
am
who
have
worked
on
things
such
as
you
know
where
your
windows
meet
the
wall
right
and
whether
we
can
get
rid
of
drafting
issues
and
things
like
that.
We
hadn't
really
thought
of
that
on
the
side
of
zoning.
Previously,
that
was
in
our
building
and
construction
code.
E
So,
let's
make
sure
zoning
works
with
those
things:
electric
vehicles
and
micro
Mobility
right,
we're
thinking
outside
of
the
scope
of
just
being
a
car
first
city
right.
We
can
revise
the
zoning
to
allow
more
public
electric
charging
stations
right,
whether
that's
you
know
public
or
private.
If
you
want
to
install
in
your
own
home,
let's
try
to
encourage
that
and
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
and
make
sure
you
don't
have
hoops
to
jump
through
from
a
zoning
standpoint
publicly
right.
E
If
there's
underutilized
parking
lots
or
underutilized
land
are
there
ways
that
we
can
have
a
more
streamlined
and
straightforward
way
to
turn
some
of
that
land
into
a
public
electric
charging
stations,
electric
vehicles
become
more
popular
and
finally,
our
waste
and
storm
water
systems
and
our
and
our
food
growing
right
can
we
simplify
our
regulations
to
make
sure
that
there's
less
waste
being
sent
to
landfills
right?
Can
we
work
on
zoning
regulations
that
make
it
easier
to
introduce
composting
at
a
small
scale
and
a
large
scale
right?
E
Can
we
reduce
the
amount
of
storm
water
sent
to
wastewater
treatment
plants
right?
A
lot
of
that
is
in
the
public
realm
and
you've
seen
a
lot
of
that
when
it
comes
to
introducing
more
Greenery
and
more
impervious
surfaces
and
sidewalks,
but
there's
also
opportunity
to
do
that
on
private
property
as
well
and
again,
whether
it's
public
or
private,
it
all
needs
to
adhere
to
the
zoning
resolution.
So,
let's
make
sure
the
zoning
resolution
doesn't
provide
any
roadblocks
on
that
all
right
Zoning
for
Economic
Opportunity
is
number
two.
E
So
a
couple
goals
here:
let's
get
this-
is
this
very
clear
and
sensible
rules
that
give
them
flexibility
to
grow
put
in
flexibility
to
adapt.
Obviously,
adaptation
is
something
that
is
really
important.
We've
seen
it
more
and
more
during
covet
right
when
so
many
businesses
have
to
shut
down
because
it
couldn't
keep
up,
the
economy
is
changing
and
we
want
to
give
businesses
the
flexibility
to
work
with
those
changes
so
long
as
they
don't.
You
know,
interrupt
the
neighborhood
and
we
think
that
there's
definitely
ways
to
do
that.
E
We
want
to
promote
an
equitable
and
resilient
economy
to
make
sure
that
small
and
large
businesses
Can
Survive
and
Thrive,
and
support
small
businesses
and
entrepreneurs
right
to
kind
of
produce
a
lot
of
the
red
tape
that
doesn't
actually
serve
the
needs
that
we're
trying
to
serve
right.
This
is
expected
to
enter
public
review
sometime
later
in
2023,
maybe
a
year
from
now.
E
I,
wouldn't
be
surprised,
maybe
introduced
closer
to
the
summer,
but
we're
not
going
to
introduce
this
when
you're
in
Hiatus,
so
I
would
say,
probably
in
in
the
fall
or
so
next
year
and
on
the
right
side
of
the
screen.
You
can
see
some
of
the
examples
right
bike
shops
are
allowed
on.
You
know
retail
streets
and
Commercial
overlays,
but
not
bike,
repair
or
rentals
right,
I
think
you
know
just
using
common
sense.
You
could
say
well
why
aren't
repairing
rentals
allowed
right?
That
would
give
that
business
an
opportunity
to
survive.
E
E
Maybe
allow
restaurants
and
opportunity
to
do
something
after
hours,
aerobics
classes
permitted
dance
studios
aren't.
Why
is
that
you
know
they
tend
to
have
a
pretty
similar
impact
on
the
community
if
at
all,
so
these
are
the
kind
of
things
that
we're
addressing
right.
One
of
those
is
removing
dancing
restrictions
and
Zoning.
It
seems
like
a
kind
of
simple
thing,
but
it
is
kind
of
important
right.
A
lot
of
businesses
like
to
have
a
little
bit
of
dancing,
permitted
and
I've
seen
it
in
my
previous.
E
We
want
to
support
our
reuse
of
existing
buildings.
That
is
a
huge
one,
as
we've
all
seen
during
covet
right.
Let's
you
make
space
is
really
limited
when
it
comes
to
the
city.
You
know
land
isn't
Limited
in
in
the
large
scale
right,
everybody
in
the
world
can
live
in
Texas,
pretty
comfortably,
but
land,
that's
near
our
jobs,
near
our
homes
and
in
an
urban
center.
That's
as
vibrant
and
as
important
as
New
York
City
land
is
important.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
use
that
land
really
efficiently
and
effectively
right.
E
Let's
allow
our
buildings
to
adapt
and
provide
space
for
businesses
in
New,
York,
City,
small
and
large
make
sure
that
there's
Equitable
growth,
let's
make
ground
floor.
Urban
Design
regulations
are
really
important.
Many
of
you
may
be
familiar
and
if
you're
not
a
lot
of,
it
refers
to
having
a
lot
of
glazing
or
windows
so
that
you
don't
have
blink
walls
on
the
street
that
all
makes
sense,
but
let's
make
sure
they're
clear
and
consistent
right.
Let's
make
them
consistent
across
the
city
or
consistent
across
the
same
zoning
District.
E
Let's
make
it
easier
for
a
new
business.
That's
trying
to
open
up
to
understand
what
they
need
to
provide
right,
whether
whether
it's
difficult
or
not,
difficult
to
revive,
let's
at
least
make
it
understandable
for
anybody
and,
let's
think
about
also
creating
new
zoning
districts,
we're
not
limited
to
what
we
already
have
right.
E
Maybe
there's
new
zoning
districts
for
job
centers,
right
job
centers
that
aren't
necessarily
like
Midtown,
Manhattan
or
financial
district,
but
more
local
job
centers
that
are
kind
of
in
that
middle
ground
between
a
big
busy
commercial
district
and
a
small
commercial
overlay
right.
There
could
be
a
middle
ground
there
and,
of
course,
if
we
do
end
up
doing
that,
we
wouldn't
actually
map
them.
E
With
this
text
Amendment
we
would
simply
introduce
them
as
options
and,
if
they're
being
mapped
there'd,
be
an
additional
you
learn
process,
but
thinking
about
new
districts
right
for
job
centers
and
finally,
Zoning
for
Housing
Opportunity,
so
big
goal
here.
Obviously,
housing
is
the
big
topic
that
we
have.
You
know
in
the
city
expanding
and
diversifying
the
housing
Supply
to
meet
housing
needs
right.
E
G
E
E
What
are
we
trying
to
do
here?
Let's
allow
housing
types
to
serve
everyone,
that's
what
I
said
earlier
a
lot
of
our
housing
rules.
Many
of
you
know
this,
and
if
you
don't
that's,
you
know
fine.
They
come
in
a
history
of
exclusion
on
the
history
of
discrimination
against
people
of
color
against
low-income
people
against
you
know
certain
certain.
You
know
groups
that
we
had
bigotry
and
animus
towards.
E
We
don't
want
to
maintain
that
history
anymore
right,
let's
break
some
of
that
down
and
what
that
means
is
expanding
opportunities
for
things
like
duplexes,
which
are
maybe
the
same
size
as
a
single
family
home.
Let's
expand
in
Adu
right,
an
Adu
and
accessory
dwelling
unit
for
those
of
you
who
aren't
familiar.
E
That
could
be
something
where
someone
might
convert
a
garage
if
they
don't
have
a
car
to
a
small
apartment
so
that
you
know
a
child
can
come
home
from
college
and
live
at
home
for
a
little
bit
while
they're
trying
to
you
know,
get
their
career
started,
or
maybe
you
want
to
have
a
grandparent.
You
know
live
with
you
as
you're
as
you're
having
your
children,
help
you
raise
them
very
common
in
many
parts
of
the
world,
many
very
common
in
many
parts
of
the
country.
Let's
expand
that
a
little
bit
smaller
apartment
buildings.
E
You
know
more
modest,
Apartments,
we've
heard
of
micro
units,
sometimes
which
you
know
don't
seem
like
a
great
place
for
a
family
to
live,
but
could
be
completely
adequate
for
a
person
who
is,
you,
know
relatively
young
and
is
living
in
a
place
where
they
want
to
spend
most
of
their
time
out
of
their
apartment
right.
They
just
want
the
Bare
Basics
shared
housing
models,
right
boarding,
houses
or
rooming
houses.
E
That's
kind
of
an
example
of
one
of
those
things
that
a
lot
of
cities,
New
York
included,
have
made
it
very
difficult
to
build
because
of
what
we
tend
to
associate
them
with.
There's
a
history
of
discrimination
within
there,
not
all
the
time,
but
sometimes,
and
it's
a
really
great
way
for
a
lot
of
people
to
get
on
their
feet
and
and
some
people
who
even
can't
afford
to
live
in
their
own
housing
unit
kind
of
like
the
shared
housing
models,
we've
seen
very
successful
ones.
E
You
know
all
over
the
world,
so,
let's
think
a
little
bit
more
innovatively
about
that
expending
opportunities
for
especially
affordable
and
Supportive
Housing
right
so
airs
units,
that's
basically
just
one
of
those
acronyms
for
affordable
senior
housing.
Many
of
you
may
know
right
now,
they're
allowed
to
be
a
little
bit
larger.
They
have
floor
area
requirements
that
are
a
little
bit
greater.
That's
a
good
thing
right,
because
we
want
to
encourage
Ayers
buildings.
E
We
want
to
make
sure
our
you
know:
there's
affordable
senior
housing,
but
let's
expand
that
allowance
to
different
types
of
affordable
housing
right.
Maybe
it's
a
Supportive
Housing,
maybe
the
the
ability
for
people
to
to
you
know
transition
from
a
homeless
shelter
which
is
not
intended
to
be
a
long-term
goal.
You
know
to
give
them
some
Supportive
Housing
where
they
have
the
resources
they
need.
You
know
to
kind
of
get
their
feet
under
them
a
little
bit
better
right.
Maybe
they
can
have.
E
You
know
the
ability
to
be
slightly
larger
so
long
as
it
isn't.
You
know,
impeding
on
the
neighborhood's
character
to
an
extreme
extent
right,
there's
probably
opportunity
there.
Let's
make
it
easier
to
convert
buildings,
we
saw
that
with
Zoning
for
Economic
Opportunity.
The
last
couple
slides
I
talked
about
is
making
efficient
use
of
the
land,
and
this
is
true
here
right,
coven
remote
work,
shuns
it.
E
E
Now,
right,
maybe
there's
the
opportunity
to
convert
those,
and
maybe
we
can
make
it
a
little
bit
more
streamlined
and
straightforward
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
we
can
open
up
so
much
floor
area
that
currently
is
being
underutilized
or
not
utilized
at
all
to
actually
House
people
unnecessary
parking
requirements,
right
parking
requirements
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
If
you're,
you
know
not
a
trans
accessible
space-
and
you
know
it's
necessary
for
certain
groups
of
people
totally
understand
that,
but
some
of
them
are
a
little
bit
excessive
and
unnecessary
right.
E
E
So
you
know
the
unnecessary,
so
the
parking
minimums
in
those
situations
are
at
best
kind
of
useless,
because
they'll
be
provided
anyway
and
in
other
areas
where
the
parking
really
doesn't
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
It's
very
Transit
accessible,
and
you
know
it's
near
job
centers
and
things
like
that.
Where
people
don't
tend
to
have
as
much
cars,
you
know.
Why
are
we
creating
that
kind
of
space?
E
Again,
that's
efficient
use
of
land
that
we're
trying
to
make
and
finally
make
it
easier
for
owners
of
homes
and
small
buildings
to
alter
and
update
their
buildings
right.
If
you
have,
you
know
a
studio
or
you
have
a
one
bedroom,
that's
totally
fine
for
you
and
your
partner.
If
you
decide
to
you
know,
have
a
child,
your
needs
may
change,
but
you
want
to
stay
where
you
are.
E
We
want
to
lower
the
barrier
to
entry,
basically
to
actually
modifying
your
homes
in
a
way
that
makes
sense
for
your
changing
lifestyle
right
and
that's
something
that
we
think
is
important
and
goes
back
to
allowing
housing
types
to
serve
everyone,
whether
you
live
alone,
you
live
with
a
large
family.
You
live
with
a
small
family,
you
have
small
children,
you
have
you
know
older
children.
Anything
like
that.
We
kind
of
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
options
there
right
and
that
is
where
I
come
to
my
end,
that
was
a
lot
of
talking.
E
A
Well,
actually,
I
think
that
Greg
has
been
sort
of
monitoring
the
chat
for
questions,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much
David
for
that
presentation,
very
informative
and
a
lot
to
sort
of
absorb
and
look
forward
to,
but
maybe
we'll
start
with
the
raised
hands
and
I'll
start
with
Greg
just
because
he
had
his
hand
raised.
A
A
K
What
was
the
decision
process
in
terms
of
pushing
housing
towards
the
back
end
of
things
as
opposed
to
reversing
it,
particularly
in
you
know
current
times
where
housing
certainly
is?
You
know
it
seems
to
be
the
acute
issue
that
that
we're
all
thinking
about
here
so
just
wondering
why?
Why
that,
instead
of
perhaps.
E
The
reverse,
thank
you.
Yeah
understood,
definitely
makes
sense.
I
think
this
is
where
you
kind
of
have
that
Matrix
of
like
what
is
the
most
acute
problem
and
then
what's
the
lowest
hanging
fruit
kind
of
thing,
I
think
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
the
housing
Amendment
is
just
generally
a
little
bit
bigger,
I
I,
don't
know
how
to
describe
it.
E
Something
like
changing
allowable
fars
for
affordable
or
Supportive
Housing
is,
is
a
bigger
lift
slightly
and
we
assume
and
are
kind
of
making
the
assumption
that
there
will
be
more
engagement
to
be
had
I.
Think
different
communities
have
a
lot
of
different
feelings
about
how
these
things
will
affect
them.
Right,
they're,
also
a
little
bit
more
visible,
I
think
and
that's
why
we
wanted
to
make
sure
there
was
ample
time
for
engagement.
E
There's
also
something
on
you
know
a
little
bit
wary
of
saying
and
I
don't
want
to
raise
any
Flags
is
that
may
have
a
slightly
larger
environmental
review,
not
because
it's
likely
to
have
negative
environmental
impacts,
but
just
because
the
laws
that
we
have
at
the
state
level
will
require
maybe
slightly
more
environmental
review
than
they
may
for
some
of
the
other
text.
Amendments
so
agreed
that
it
is
very,
very
cute
and
arguably
more
acute
than
some
of
the
other
ones.
I
mean
they're.
K
J
Thank
you
very
much,
I
generally,
like
your
presentation
and
agree
with
the
direction
you're
going,
but
I
am
a
little
concerned
about
a
couple
of
things
that
we
liberalize
some
of
these
rules.
What
about
things
like
people,
turning
their
places
into
sros,
which
not
always
happy
that
the
neighbor?
The
neighbors
are
not
that
happy
when
you
put
that
many
people
in
the
house
and
also
create
certain
fire
hazard
possibilities
or
people
converting
basement
apartments,
because
you
know
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
allowable.
J
E
E
A
vacuum
isn't
necessarily
a
bad
thing.
I
think
the
problem
with
an
SRO
or
a
problem
with
shared
rooms
is
that
we
don't
is
when
we
often
associate
them
legitimately
or
illegitimately,
with
unsafe
conditions
right
and
so
everything
that
you
brought
up
after
that
about
unsafe
conditions,
whether
it
comes
from
fire
hazard
or
resiliency,
or
flood
resiliency
and
safety,
I
think
that
kind
of
goes
with
part
of
the
reason
that
going
back
to
the
previous
question
we're
pushing
the
housing
one
a
little
bit
later
is
because
it
requires
a
lot
of
interagency
coordination
right.
E
We
want
to
make
sure
we
can
work
with
the
building
department,
such
that
none
of
the
regulations
that
we're
looking
at
either
liberalizing
or
making
more
syringent
create
any
issues
create
any
health
or
hazardous
issues
right.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
talk
to
the
fire
department
and
make
sure
that
they
have
exactly
what
they
need
moving
forward.
There's
nothing
wrong
in
our
zoning
resolution
and
I.
Believe
we've
done
this
already
with
saying
that
certain
things
are
allowed
only
if
the
fire
department
signs
up
on
it.
L
Thanks
very
much,
certainly,
all
the
goals
that
you've
outlined
to
me
seem
hugely
valuable
I'm.
Just
considering
that
you've
set
yourself
out
of
superhuman
task
here.
Any
one
of
the
books
that
you
have
put
up
I
would
think
would
occupy
a
good
sized
staff
for
a
year
to
work
their
way
through
all
the
possible
ramifications.
I
mean
one
struck
me:
support
a
reuse
of
existing
buildings
and
allow
buildings
to
adapt.
I
mean
that
sounds
like
a
wholesale
rewriting
and
allowing
changes
of
zoning
use.
You
know,
use
groups,
so
I
mean
in
past
presentations.
L
You
know
when
City
Planning
came
to
boards
really
you'd
come
with
something
much
smaller
and
I
know
you're
early
on
in
the
stages
of
all
this,
but
I'm
just
absolutely
flabbergasted
that
all
of
this
would
be
coming
out
within
a
year
and
that
we
on
community
boards,
who
don't
have
the
same
resources,
you
know
need
to
say
it's
DCP,
does
would
be
asked
to
again
consider
all
the
different
ramifications
for
our
district
as
well
as
the
rest
of
the
city.
So
it's
more
of
a
statement.
L
E
Understood
and
that's
completely
legitimate,
I
understand
that
absolutely
I
mean
there
there's
I
think,
first
of
all,
I
the
mayor
is
kind
of
intending
for
things
to
move.
You
know
I
think
he
sees
all
these
as
dire
and
important
things
that
need
to
happen.
The
goals
that
we
want
to
address
and
when
it
comes
to
our
community
board
input,
I
think
what
we're
doing
now
is
we're
in
the
research
phase
right.
We
are
thinking
of
everything
and
you're
right.
It
is
a
really
really
big
task.
Trust
me
well
aware
of
that.
E
We
are
thinking
of
everything
and
in
our
collaboration
with
Community
groups,
including
the
community
boards.
What
we
want
to
create
is
a
situation
where
we
can
come
to
you
and
say:
hey
here's,
a
lot
of
This
research.
We
gathered
it's
based
on
other
cities.
It's
based
on
the
data
that
we
have
about
New
York.
We
have
a
lot
of
research
and
we
have
a
lot
of
different
options
that
we've
kind
of
come
up
with
here.
E
Here's
what
we
think
could
work,
but
let
us
know
what
you
think:
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
make
it
a
little
bit
easier,
such
that
we're
not
saying
to
community
boards.
Hey,
do
your
research
and
then
come
to
us
and
tell
us
what
you
think
kind
of
thing
we
want
to
kind
of
present
research
that
makes
sense
a
lot
of
those
may
be
contradictory
right
and
then
we'll
allow
communities
to
kind
of
think
what's
best
for
themselves
and
what's
best
for
their
place
within
the
city.
A
E
L
It
be
allowed
one
quick
follow-up.
So
what
so,
let's
say:
you're
talking
about
the
zero
carbon
being
early
2023
for
dealer.
How
many
times
do
you
think
you'd
be
Consulting
the
community
boards
between
now
and
then
before
you
actually
release
what
the
text
will
be
sorry
to
be
hammering
on
this,
but
yeah
everything
you're
saying
sounds
great
I.
Just
you
know
really
want
to
ensure
that
the
practicality-
and
you
know
the
realistic
process.
Is
there.
E
E
Yeah
I
mean
that's
really.
The
intention
right
is
lots
and
also
what
we
do
want
to
also
make
clear
is
that
it
won't
be
I,
think
we're
breaking
a
little
bit
from
the
classic
we're
presenting
to
the
community
board
and
there's
this
long
meeting
and
that's
the
engagement.
You
know,
I
think
what
we
want
to
do
here
and
that's
kind
of
part
of
the
reason
I'm
here
now
is
to
give
you
the
idea
of
hey.
This
is
what
we're
thinking
about
in
the
future.
E
I
may
not
come
back
or
our
team
may
not
come
back
for
another
couple
of
weeks
until
we've
hammered
a
few
more
things
out
and
we
have
actual
folks
in
the
zero
carpet
team
who
know
a
lot
more
than
I
do
about
it.
But
not
only
is
there
nothing
stopping
you
from
you
know
continuing
this
conversation
among
yourselves.
We
hope
that
you
do
right
and
you're
more
than
welcome
to
and
I
think
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
right.
The
conversation
can
continue
offline.
The
conversation
can
continue.
E
Even
you
know
when
we're
not
having
our
our
specific
meetings
right.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
something
that
is
very
clear
to
the
communities,
that
these
are
the
goals
that
we're
trying
to
reach
and
by
the
way,
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
we
probably
haven't
considered
that
I,
just
in
in
what
I
just
presented
that
you
may
have
experience
with
right,
and
so
we
want
to
welcome
kind
of
some
of
that
feedback.
E
So,
yes,
there
will
be
a
lot
of
presentations,
but
engagement
is
much
more
than
just
a
presentation
or
a
meeting
right.
So
we'd
encourage
you
as
a
board
to
think
about
what
we're
trying
to
do
think
about
what
you
see
around
your
neighborhood
and
how
some
of
that
made
dovetail
with
what
we're
trying
to
build
here
with
the
text.
Amendments
thanks
very
much.
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
those
questions.
Next
up,
I
have
well
actually
before
I
go
to
the
next
person.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
Joelle
the
zoo
who's
from
council
member
Rita
Joseph's
office
is
here
with
us
this
evening,
and
the
next
person
who
has
a
question
is
Daniel
from
council
member
Clara
Lewis's
office
you're
up
next
hi
Daniel.
M
Hi,
how
are
you
thank
you
so
much
for
having
this
meeting?
Yes,
I'm
Daniel
from
council
member
Fair,
Lewis's
office,
I
first
want
to
say
I
appreciate
amount
of
time
spent
thinking
about
this
process,
especially
how
it
pertains
to
modernizing
the
housing
landscape.
As
we
you
know,
in
District
45,
we
have
many
existing
homeowners
who
are
looking
to
modernize
their
energy
usage
and
source.
So
I
know
that
the
council
member
is
very
passionate
about
reducing
our
Reliance
on
fossil
fuels,
especially
to
make
our
neighborhoods,
healthier
and
I
know.
M
You
mentioned
working
with
other
agencies
to
make
some
of
these
plans
come
to
fruition.
Now
the
thing
is
me,
and
my
colleagues
in
the
office
have,
you
know,
have
dealt
with
a
lot
of
black
and
brown
homeowners
in
the
district
who
have
been
unable
to
pursue
solar,
renewable
energy
sources
due
to
the
amount
of
regulatory
headache
from
FDNY,
uninstalling,
solar
and
Battery
Solutions
in
their
homes
and
I'm
curious.
E
Pleasure
to
meet
you
first
of
all,
I,
don't
believe
that
previously
and
thank
you
for
the
question
to
be
quite
Frank.
I
want
to
get
back
to
our
zero
carbon
team
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
These
are
the
folks
that
are
meeting
multiple
times
a
week
to
kind
of
has
some
of
the
details
out
and
they've
been
doing
a
little
bit
more
of
that
specific
Outreach.
E
This
is
kind
of
where
we
want.
This
is
kind
of
the
whole
goal
is
making
sure
the
zoning
resolution
is
not
the
problem.
You
know,
we've
seen
a
lot
of
investment
at
the
federal
level
at
the
state
level
and
at
the
city
level,
of
ensuring
that
individual
homeowners,
for
instance,
can
get
tax
breaks
or
can
get
a
little
bit
of
funding
for
green
energy
right
to
support
a
larger
goal,
and
we
don't
want
zoning
to
be
the
problem.
E
In
fact,
we
want
zoning
to
help
if
possible
becomes
a
solution,
and
so
we
are
doing
Outreach
to
make
sure
that,
when
there
are
possible
burdens
that
we've
seen
whether
it
be
within
the
zoning
resolution
or
within
other
departments
that
we
can
kind
of
break
down
some
of
those
barriers
and
make
it
more
straightforward.
But
I
can
get
back
to
you
on
some
of
the
specifics.
M
Definitely
and
I
appreciate
that
I'm
going
to
drop
my
email
in
the
chat
because
I'd
like
to
definitely
keep
on
the
conversation
going,
especially
as
it
pertains
to
home
ownership,
because
that
is
pretty
big
in
our
district
and
I
know
for
our
community
board
of
14.
There's
a
lot
of
sort
of
there's.
It's
very
easy
for
these
opportunities
to
get
missed.
M
Just
because
the
diverse
nature
of
the
of
the
buildings
here
so
it'd
be
really
great
to
make
sure
that
we're
covered
on
all
bases
to
make
sure
that
anyone
who
wants
to
get
in
on
this
and
to
contribute
to
a
carbon,
neutral,
Gold
Can
can
really
take
part.
So
thank
you
again
for
taking
the
time
here
absolutely.
E
F
F
Will
a
road
map
also
be
included
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is?
Whenever
these
amendments
go
live
there
will
be
a
percentage
of
things
in
every
category
that
do
not
meet
those
criteria.
So
will
there
be
a
road
map
to
get
those
that
percentage
of
you
know
those
entities
in
compliance
with
the
future
State
amendments
or
not?
That's
number
one
and
then
number
two.
F
As
these
city-wide
amendments
are
being
discussed
and
reviewed.
My
question
is:
will
the
various
agencies
also
have
some
sort
of
corresponding
cost
benefit
analyzes
for
review
right
I,
like
the
ideals?
The
only
thing
I
like
more
than
ideals,
are
implementation
of
ideas
and
there's
a
cost
associated
with
it
right
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
as
these
details
and
things
get
more
hashed
out,
will
there
be
more
information
to
show
the
communities
hey?
F
E
You
yeah
I
appreciate
that
opponent,
clarification
on
I
think
the
first
question
about
a
road
map
included
I,
wonder
if
you
can
go
into
kind
of
explain
that
a
little
bit,
because
I
think
I
might
have
missed
it.
A
percentage
of
things
you
mean
that
are
not
income.
Are
you
speaking
of
existing
developments
or
buildings,
for
instance
that
are
currently
not
in
compliance
with
whatever
the
zoning
may
allow.
F
Ed,
let
me
sure
so
what
I'm
thinking
is,
for
example,
like
the
the
solo
like
the
photovoltaic
and
one
of
the
zero
carbons
right,
and
so
what
I'm
just
thinking
is,
let's
say:
I
have
a
house
and
I
have
a
solar
panel
installed,
but
it
doesn't
meet
that
photovoltaic
requirement
when
the
city
Amendment
gets
passed.
So
my
question
is
on
day
Zero.
F
E
I
appreciate
that
yeah,
that's
really
helpful,
sure
I'll
first
say
that
I
think
for
a
lot
of
these
text
amendments-
and
this
goes
back
to
what
I
was
you
know
saying
to
previous
asker-
was
really
we're
kind
of
liberalizing
things
a
little
bit
to
allow
more
things,
rather
than
put
more
requirements
upon
them
right,
so
I
think
when
it
comes
to
Korean
energy,
for
instance.
Let's
talk
about
something
like
that.
You
brought
up
solar
panels.
E
What
this
does
is
allow
a
homeowner
to
more
easily
install
something
like
solar
right
to
more
easily
update
their
building
to
something
that
meets
green
grid.
They're
not
required
to
you
know,
there's
no,
there's
no
requirement
that
says
you
have
to
do
this
necessarily,
but
if
you
have
the
means,
let's
say
or
you
have,
you
know
a
funding
source
or
tax
break
and
something
that
you
want
to
do.
E
Let's
kind
of
break
down
some
of
the
headaches
where
you're
able
to
so
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
intention
for
us
to
to
to
make
that
more
difficult.
Something
you
brought
up
specifically
on
solar
panels
is:
if
you
have
something
that
doesn't
meet,
you
know
what
we
allow
I
I,
don't
think
that
would
really
be
a
problem.
What
we're
proposing
here
is
not
intended
to
make
anyone's
existing
situation
non-compliant
right.
It's
almost
like
you
know
it
if
currently
you're
built
to
this-
and
you
know
we
allow
this-
you
can
keep
this.
E
Those
can
be
maintained,
but
I
can
I
think
this
is
one
of
those
good
ideas
that
I
saw
about
earlier,
which
we
didn't
think
about
is
how
can
we
create
some
of
those
road
maps
with
the
planning
department
with
other
agencies
as
well
to
say,
hey
by
the
way,
it's
easier
to
do
X?
Now,
let's
tell
you
how
you
can
do
that,
and
so
we'll
think
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
To
answer
your
first
question.
E
As
amendments
are
discussed
review,
it
will
be
a
cost
benefit,
analyzes
involved.
Yes,
that
is
kind
of
part
of
the
Outreach
again.
This
is
very
early
right
here
and
I.
Think
that's
part
of
what
we're
doing
now
is
we're
doing
research
about
what's
going
on
in
New
York,
our
demographics
and
you
know
some
of
our
details,
whether
New
York
doing
well.
E
Currently,
what
are
we
not
doing
well
at
and
also
doing
research
about
kind
of
thinking
outside
of
the
box
and
doing
research
on
other
cities
right
around
the
country
and
even
around
the
world
to
say:
hey,
here's
some
of
the
research
we
found.
You
know
where
cities
that
have
these
kind
of
regulations
tend
to
produce
X
and
we
could
even
sometimes
contradict
ourselves
because,
rather
than
you
know,
publishing
something
and
pushing
something
and
then
saying
hey
what
do
you
think
about
it?
E
We
want
to
form
it
in
collaboration
with
our
communities,
we'll
say:
hey
communities
or
cities
that
have
these
kind
of
regulations
have
found
this
problem
right
and
that's
something
we
can
address.
Maybe
we
think
in
New
York.
We
won't
have
that
problem
for
whatever
reason
and
we'll
also
say
you
know
that
they
found
this
benefit
in
that
kind
of
City.
E
G
I
Felicia,
thank
you
David
for
the
presentation,
one
aspect
towards
the
beginning
that
I
I
wanted
to
get
a
little
Clarity
on.
You
said
that
there
would
be
potential
zoning
changes
to
assist
with
the
expansion
of
public
charging
stations
and
potentially
private
charging
stations
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
get
some
clarity
as
to
what
as
to
how
zoning
is
restricting
that
expansion.
I
I
know
the
city
has
been
adding
public
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
to
various
on
various
parking
spaces.
I
I
know
you
know
folks,
and
you
know
not
it's
not
that
common,
but
some
folks
in
the
in
the
board,
in
the
community,
District
have
electric
vehicles
and
electric
charging
stations
at
home
and
I
haven't
heard
of
any
issues
where
there
was
zoning
was
preventing,
goes
from
being
implemented.
So
I
just
wanted
to
get
some
clarity
on
that.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
E
Understandable
I
may
not
have
spoken
accurately
when
I
was
talking
about
private
right
there's,
you
know
if
it's
within
your
building
to
you
know
as
long
as
you're,
not
you
know
doing
some
massive
expansion.
It's
probably
fine,
I
think
what
we're
thinking
of
is
a
lot
of
underutilized
land
and
what
kind
of?
As
many
of
you
know
our
zoning
resolution
know.
We
have
use
groups
that
are
permitted
in
different
zoning
districts
and
I.
Think
something
important
to
remember
also
is.
This
is
city-wide
right.
E
The
city
is
huge:
we've
got
places
that
are
really
suburban
and
even
Rural
and
places
that
are
really
dense,
and
so
maybe
it's
thinking
a
little
bit
more
about
where
an
electric
charging
station.
What
use
group
it
falls
into
because
the
use
grouper
falls
into
may
not
be
allowed
in
certain
districts
where
it
might
make
sense.
D
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
this
presentation
and
introduction
to
some
new
thoughts
about
how
we
live
in
the
community.
So
just
a
couple
of
of
things,
one
for
clarity.
You
talked
about
bike
shops
and
it
sounded
like
you
were
saying
that
they
could
do
sales,
but
they
couldn't
do
Repair
and
Rental
and
nobody's
going
to
buy
a
bicycle
from
a
place.
D
They
can't
go
back
to
to
get
their
bicycle
maintained
and
that's
a
critical
factor
in
terms
of
you
know:
reducing
car
dependency,
making
bicycle
not
no,
not
only
the
purchase
but
the
sale
and
even
rental,
more
accessible,
and
unless
City
bike
really
UPS
its
game
for
South
Brooklyn.
We're
like
the
poor
step
child
in
this
whole
picture,
and
it's
it's
just
pathetic.
If
you're,
you
know,
if
you're
not
within
the
10
feet
of
Prospect
Park,
there's
like
nothing
for
South
Brooklyn
at
all,
so
you
know
it's
like
I.
D
E
F
E
Of
this
amendment
right
is
to
make
sure
that
we
can
liberalize
things
to
make
sure
that
you
know
a
bike.
Repair
shop
is
likely
to
is
unlikely
to
have
a
significant
adverse
effect
on
a
community
that
already
allows
a
bike
shop
right
if
you
could
just
repair
it.
That's
kind
of
really
indicative
of
the
whole
point
of
these
amendments
right
fast
charging.
That's
exactly
the
same
thing.
You
know
there
are
investments
that
the
city
needs
to
make
right
and
those
kind
of
things,
but
there's
also
allowances
for
private
property
owners.
Again.
E
This
is
where
we
want
to
work
with
some
of
the
other
resources
available
either
at
the
city
level,
the
state
level
or
of
the
federal
level
even
right,
there's
a
lot
of
investments
in
funding
sources
and
tax
breaks,
and
things
available
for
a
lot
of
green
energy.
Whether
that's
you
know
introducing
more
fast
charging
spaces
on
private
property,
and
we
want
to
allow
that
something
that
is
also
really
important.
E
That
I
I
didn't
need
to
keep
reminding
myself
of
this,
too,
is
that
even
publicly
funded
initiatives
things
that
we
do
on
public
land,
those
all
need
to
meet
the
same
requirements
of
zoning
that
private
properties
do
right.
So
if
the
mayor
in
the
city
or
even
the
state
wanted
to
build,
you
know
a
a
really
great
energy
efficient
infrastructure
project,
whether
that's
fast
charging
or
a
solar
panel
of
some
sort
or
a
you
know,
photo
bit
volte
kind
of
in
installation.
E
They
would
also
need
to
meet
our
own
requirements
right,
so,
whether
it's
private
or
public,
we
want
to
make
sure
zoning
is
not
not
the
problem.
We're
able
to
do
that
as
for
parking
requirements,
especially
with
elderly
places,
with
Supportive,
Housing
or
affordable
senior
housing.
A
hundred
percent,
true
I,
think
there's
absolutely
no
intention
of
looking
at
those
as
a
problem.
E
E
We
haven't
found
that
it's
an
issue
that,
for
instance,
we
haven't
found
that
it's
an
issue
that
folks
building
senior
housing
they're,
not
complaining
that
oh
God,
we
have
to
provide
all
this
parking
because
they're
going
to
do
that
anyway,
right,
they
know
they
need
to
to
make
sure
that
things
are
safe
and
efficient
and
effective.
So
we're
not
looking
at
that
and
saying.
Oh,
this
is
a
problem.
Let's
update
that,
what
we're
more
looking
at
is
as
car
ownership.
You
know.
E
E
Let's
not
take
up
some
really
valuable
space
with
a
parking
space
in
a
building
where
the
folks
aren't
really
going
to
use
it
right.
So
we're
really
targeting
our
investments
and
our
Research
into
places
where
it's
actually
a
problem
when
it
comes
to
supportive
housings,
but
then
particularly
elderly
housing.
We
haven't
really
found
that
that's
a
huge
problem.
D
F
A
E
Yes,
I
appreciate
that
question.
I
didn't
pay
you
to
say
that,
but
I'm
glad
you
did
because
I
forgot
about
it.
That's
a
big
problem
that
I've
seen
I've
seen
it
I.
You
know
I
used
to
work
in
other
cities
where
we
had
a
similar
situation
where,
if
something
is
illegal,
folks
will
introduce
it
and
if
there's
no
process
to
go
through
that
means
there's
no
health
and
safety
inspections,
because
it's
illegal
to
begin
with.
You
know
what
I
mean:
there's
no
drainage
inspections,
because
it's
illegal
to
begin
with.
E
E
We
cannot
make
sure
that
we
we
cannot
skip
on
health
and
safety
requirements
that
are
absolutely
necessary
right,
but
once
we
say
hey,
if
you
have
this
situation,
here's
this
program
where
you
can
actually
legalize
these
units,
then
we
can
come
in
and
say:
hey
these
units
are
legal,
that's
totally
fine,
but
I'm.
Sorry,
we
inspected
your
electrical.
You
know,
circuit
system
is
just
not
safe
right,
it's
not
fire
safe
or
you
don't
have
the
requirements
that
you
need
to
make
sure
that
it
could
survive
a
flood
right,
especially.
E
E
That's
accessible
is
even
if
something's,
not
legal,
a
lot
of
folks
and
understandably
so,
quite
frankly,
will
kind
of
build
those
situations.
Anyway,
right,
a
lot
of
folks
have,
as
we've
seen,
I'm
sure
in
CBC
14
it
converted
some
of
their
garages
into
units
either,
for
you
know,
family
or
friends,
or
to
rent
them
out
and
in
a
vacuum.
That's
fine,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that's
okay,
as
long
as
it's
safe,
if
they're
converting
it
right
now
and
just
kind
of
you
know,
working
as
a
handyman
with
my
tool.
E
They
go
through
a
process
where
it's
not
a
huge
headache:
it's
not
a
huge
burden,
but
it's
enough
where
we
say
you
gotta
meet
these
basic
XYZ
things,
because
otherwise
it's
not
safe
for
the
occupants
right.
So
Elizabeth,
that's
it
that's
exactly
a
great
point
and
that's
part
of
our
purpose
for
legalizing
these
things.
C
I
had
the
pleasure
of
hearing
Brooklyn
Borough
president
Antonio
Reynoso
talk
about
his
comprehensive
plan
where
he
is
marrying
land
use
and
the
social
determinants
of
Health,
therefore
marrying
land
use
and
public
health.
So
my
statement
is
to
really
you
know.
At
this
early
juncture.
I
heard
the
word
research
I
got
really
excited.
The
Borough
president
is
doing
a
ton
of
research
on
how
we
can
better
land
use
to
basically
make
the
public
health
of
the
borough
of
Brooklyn
better
and
I
highly.
C
You
know:
I
I
highly
suggest
that
maybe
even
though
it's
one
Borough
but
remember,
it's
also
the
Royal
president
he's
being
very
Innovative
the
DCP
meets
and
and
talk
about
these
initiatives
so
that
you
know
some
of
these
Texans
proposed
text.
Amendments
can
be
a
little
bit
more
cohesive
when
it
comes
to
Public
Health,
because
we
all
understand
now
how
important
that
is.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
my
statement.
E
Understood
no,
it
wasn't
a
question,
but
I
do
want
to
respond,
because
that's
a
really
really
important
point,
and
it
goes
back
to
what
I've
said
before,
where
we
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
situation
where,
when
the
Borough
president,
you
know
if,
when
the
Borough
president
really
moves
forward
with
implementing,
you
know
this
plan,
we
know
it's
that's
in
the
early
stages
as
well
and,
of
course,
I'm.
Not
the
expert
on
that
I'm,
not
in
his
office.
E
He
doesn't
see
any
roadblocks
as
well
from
zoning
right.
So
that's
part
of
the
Outreach
we're
doing
is
very
obviously
to
the
Borough
president,
since
how
they're
elected
officials
not
only
to
see
the
issues
that
they've
had
in
their
own
districts,
but
to
also
hear
what
they're
planning
on
doing
and
saying,
Hey
I've
thought
about
this
right.
E
Have
you
at
the
planning
department
thought
about
how
we
could
work?
You
know
in
unison
to
make
sure
that
certain
situations
are
made
legal
and
made
safe
and
more
effective
right
and
that's
a
situation
where,
if
the
you
know,
Borough
president
made
all
these
Investments
and
really
came
up
with
something
new
marrying.
As
you
said,
Public
Health,
the
land
use
and
we
didn't
have
these
text
amendments.
There
would
very
well
be
a
situation
or
could
very
well
be
a
situation
where
it
ran
into
hurdles
right
and
then
we'd
be
caught.
E
B
H
Thank
you
Talisha
and
I'm,
going
to
add
my
thanks
to
to
David
wiseglass.
He
had
to
move
a
whole
lot
of
things
around
to
be
here
with
us
this
evening
and
I
also
just
want
to
emphasize
how
that
this
is
a
shift,
that
this
is
a
shift
in
the
city
that
an
agency
is
coming
to
us
so
early
and
and
speaking
in
these
broad
terms
and
I.
Think
agencies
sometimes
are
reluctant
to
do
that.
Because
then
it's
difficult
to
manage
expectations.
H
You
know
how
how
early
they
come
and
then
how
long
it
takes
to
get
to
the
end
game
it
has
to
you
know,
hopefully,
will
result
in
some
meetings
in
between
in
touching
base,
but
I
really
appreciate
because
I've
been
singing
for
a
long
time,
the
song
about
coming
to
a
community
to
help
us
at
the
Inception
of
a
plan.
So
we
feed
into
it
instead
of
getting
a
fully
realized
idea
and
then
having
to
respond
to
it
and
I
and
I'm
glad
it
seems,
like
my
song
has
made
the
Billboard
100.
H
So
so
thank
you
for
singing
along
I
want
to
just
you
know.
Liz
Denise
is
the
first
one
who
said
the
f
word
and
by
that
I
mean
flooding,
that
that
is
something
that
you've
noted
in
the
resiliency
portion
of
the
zoning
text.
Amendment
and
I
just
want
to
talk
about
how
we,
how
we
weave
in,
what's
going
on
now,
because
we've
got
five
chronic
flooding
locations
in
the
district
and
to
the
extent
that
we're
going
to
change
zonings
to
mitigate
environmental
impacts
and
climate
change
impacts.
H
H
So
we
aren't,
you
know,
trying
to
deal
with
dep
from
you
know
from
our
little
Silo
District,
but
as
we
do
that
David
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
DCP
in
the
mix
as
we
try
to
mitigate
what's
happening
now,
because
you
know
not
wanting
to
Sims.
Send
stormwater
to
Wastewater
plants
is
good
aspiration,
but
I'm
tired
of
storm
water
and
wastewater
being
sent
to
basements
and
and
there's
people
on
this
call
whose
basements
it
hits
so
I'm
glad
yours
stayed
dry.
E
Yes,
absolutely
and
understood
you
know
when
it
comes
to
things
that
are
happening
right
now,
right
and
flood.
Resiliency
I,
think
that
is
one
of
those
interesting
things
that
kind
of
ties
all
the
Amendments
together
in
an
interesting
way
right.
It's
not
just
a
zero
carbon.
It's
not
just
this.
It
ties
everything
together
because
you
know
it's
it's
it.
It's
about
thinking
on
a
city-wide
plan,
as
many
of
you
know,
New
York
is
relatively
unique
among
major
American
cities
and
that
we
don't
have
a
comprehensive
plan
right.
E
Comprehensive
plans
tend
to
direct
development,
one
place
or
another,
and
a
lot
of
that
depends
on
their
ability
to
be
resilient
right,
maybe
places
that
are
in
Garretson
Beach,
for
instance,
are
not
the
places
that
we
should
be
having
tons
of
people
living
there
they're
the
ones
that
are
going
to
get
flooded
a
ton
of
time
right.
Maybe
that's
not
the
right
place
for
basement
apartments,
because,
even
with
all
of
our
efforts,
it
would
still
be
really
difficult
right
and
I.
Don't
know
why
I
went
all
the
way
to
Garrison
beaches.
E
You
said
you
already
have
places
in
cb14.
I
didn't
even
need
to
go
that
far,
but
it's
also
about
kind
of,
in
the
absence
of
that
comprehensive
or
general
plan,
we're
able
to
look
and
that's
why
it's
important
that
these
text
amendments
are
city-wide
right.
We're
able
to
look
at
where
development
is
occurring.
Is
that
the
place
where
development
should
be
occurring
right?
Is
it
a
place
where
all
kinds
of
development
should
be
occurring
right?
G
E
I
mentioned
that
earlier,
because
if
you
know
a
developer
is
building
something
they
got
to
meet
the
demand
and
if
people
are
demanding
that
they
have
a
place
to
put
their
cars,
which
is
understandable,
demand
then
they're
probably
going
to
build
it
anyway,
because
they
want
to.
You
know,
make
sure
that
they
can
build
that
and
it
points
to
another
thing
where
they
may
be
building
in
excessive.
Even
what
is
in
demand
right.
Sometimes
it's
difficult
to
actually
find
that
equilibrium,
and
so
maximums
are
certainly
on
the
table.
J
J
I
have
an
electric
vehicle
and
I
put
in
a
charger
and
that
pulls
32
amps.
Now
the
house
that
I'm
in
when
we
first
bought
the
house
had
an
Antiquated
Electric
System
had
a
Federal
Pacific
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know.
Federal
Pacific
is
known
in
the
electrical
industry
as
Nobles
that
dead,
Dead
shorts,
don't
necessarily
blow
them
so
I
put
in
all
modern
and
still
one
very
hot
summer
day
when
the
air
conditioner
is
running
and
who
knows,
maybe
the
TV
compressor?
Okay,
not
the
TV,
the
refrigerated
compressor
came
on.
J
At
the
same
time
it
blew
my
main.
So
if
we're
encouraging
people
with
electric
vehicles,
we
have
to
be
very
careful
because
some
of
these
older
electrical
systems
can
create
fires.
So
things
like
this
need
to
be
thought
through,
as
you
consider
how
you're
going
to
approach
it
another
one
is.
We
know
that
there
are
many
thousands
of
illegal
and
dangerous
residents
now
in
the
city.
J
We
also
know
that
there's
not
nearly
enough
money
given
to
the
agencies
whose
job
it
is
to
release
these
things
and
and
protect
people.
There
are
a
couple
of
reasons
for
that.
One,
of
course,
is
financial.
The
city
just
doesn't
like
to
put
that
much
money
into
these
type
of
things.
The
other
is
political.
J
My
point
is
that
you've
mentioned
in
a
couple
of
cases
where
you
have
to
work
in
conjunction
with
other
agencies,
and
it's
reasonable
to
assume
that
these
other
agencies
are
not
going
to
live
up
to
your
expectations.
So
it's
really
important
that
when
you
consider
how
you're
going
to
write
these
things
that
it
minimizes
these
risks
all
right,
I'm
done.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
Appreciate
that
Juan
I
mean
you
know
what
I
can
say:
I
I
think
when
it
comes
to
the
electric
vehicle
situation.
This
comes
more
to
allowing
things
to
work
where
they're,
safe
and
effective
I
think
this
kind
of
ties
a
little
bit
back
into
Elizabeth's
question
about
legalizing
apartments
right,
I'm
talking
a
lot
about
liberalizing
things,
but
this
is
not
a
limiting
review
by
the
fire
department
right
or
eliminating.
G
E
Review
by
the
building
department,
we're
eliminating
review
by
whoever
May
inspect
those
electric
vehicles
who
are
doing
that
research
right
I
am
not
an
expert
on
electric
vehicles.
That
is
one
of
those
things
I
know
about
as
little
about
as
anybody.
You
do
not
want
me
inspecting
your
electric
field.
What
we
want
is
a
situation
where,
if
somebody
is
able
to
put
something
in
their
home
or
or
put
an
electric
charging
station
Outdoors,
let's
say
in
the
parking
structure
or
something
like
that.
E
There
are
folks
within
the
city
who
do
know
what's
safe
and
they
have
those
regulations,
and
so
if
a
person
wants
to
install
those
or
even
if
the
city
wants
to
install
something
like
that,
let's
allow
that
so
that
then
they
can
go
to
the
correct
agencies
on
the
correct,
Avenues
and
say:
hey
all
right.
What
is
our
minimum
requirement
for
voltage?
E
What
can
we
do
to
make
sure
that
it's
you
know
fire
safe
and
you
know
not
combustible
as
it
comes
to
residential
situations
in
the
city,
I
think
you're
exactly
right,
I
agree
that
they're.
You
know,
as
I
said
earlier,
a
lot
of
places
that
are
converted
illegally
and
you
know
they
need
to
basically
be
you
know,
regulated
well
and
I
mean
if
I'm
going
to
be
quite
Frank.
Some
of
that
is
outside
the
purview
of
kind
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
this
specific
situation.
A
N
Sure
it
was
just
thinking
back
on
the
conversation
about
basement
apartments.
I
know
that
a
lot
of
that
has
started
really
as
a
pilot
program
in
East,
New,
York
and
working
with
Cypress
Hills
and
all
that
being
made
within
that
community
and
Community
District,
Five
and
I
was
just
really
wondering
if
I
guess
what's
coming
down
the
pipeline.
N
E
E
A
A
E
I
will
work
and
talk
to
Sean
and
we'll
schedule
something
when
I
got
some
more
info
for
you,
I
saw
in
the
chat
that
I
don't
exactly
know
who
it
was,
but
they
were
posting
kind
of
the
city
of
yes
Pages.
If
you
go
to
those
pages,
you'll
see
basically
a
lot
of
the
same
stuff
I
just
presented
tonight,
but
you
know
things
are
difficult
to
remember
so.
I
would
just
recommend
continuing
to
go
to
some
of
those
pages.
E
Keep
updated
there.
They'll
give
you
some
information
on
anything.
That's
moving
along
and
I
want
to
reciprocate.
The
thanks,
I
have
like
two
pages
of
notes
that
I've
been
typing,
as
people
have
been
asking.
Questions
and
I'm
excited
to
return
that
tomorrow
back
to
the
folks
who
are
kind
of
leading
the
charge
with
a
lot
of
those
things.
So
I
appreciate
everyone's
input
here.
It's
really.
