Good morning and welcome to a meeting of the Committee on Land Use.
I'm Councilmember Kevin Riley, Chair of this committee.
I want to welcome my esteemed colleagues joining me today, which includes Chair Lewis, remotely Councilmember Caban, Majority Leader Abreu, Councilmember Osei, Salam, Banks, and Carnation.
Justin Sanchez, Thomas Henry, Minority Leader Carr, and Councilmember Nurse and Mealy.
At today's meeting, we will hold a hearing on proposed legislation, intro number 833, a bill sponsored by Councilmember Sandy Nurse to address a potential amendment to the city's administrative code to addressing
existing restrictions on building locations along portions of Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn.
But before we get to that hearing, in approximately 15 minutes or so, the committee will first vote on the number of items voted out of our two subcommittees.
As always, I want to thank Chair Lewis and Chair Marte for their work as our zoning and landmarks chairs.
