16th Street Action

This process has already passed and the Community Board recommended the project on Feb. 21, 2007.
The project was recommended because many in the immediate community did not know of its existence and were not in attendance at the public hearing.
The FAC made sure its supporters attended the meeting and much of the public testimony reflected the views of the FAC rather than the people who live in the area.

This process has already passed and the Borough President did not approve the project with modifications/conditions on March 27, 2007
The Borough Presidents office took many of the community members input and signed petitions into consideration after the community became aware of this project and made their views known.

Mayoral approval is not required. A decision by the City Council to approve or disapprove a land use application is considered to be final unless the Mayor elects to veto a Council action within 5 days of the vote. The Council, by a 2/3 vote, can override a Mayor's veto of its decision within 10 days of the veto. Applications approved by CPC that the Council did not assume jurisdiction or act on within its 50 day review can also be vetoed by the Mayor within 5 days of the expired Council time period. The Council , by a 2/3 vote, can override a Mayor's veto of the CPC decision within ten days of the veto.
