Resolution Item: Atlantic Yards
Date Voted: June 16th 2005
The Club adopted a resolution opposing the Atlantic Yards Project of the Ratner Organization at our June16, 2005 meeting.
Whereas the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats (CBID) support the following development guidelines:
1. Eminent domain or the threat of eminent domain should be used sparingly if ever and should never be used on a private profit project.
2. Major development projects should go through stringent, inclusive community review process.
3. The dispensing of all public property should be done to maximize the financial health of the government agency.
4. RFPs should be issued at the beginning of a disposal process.
5. All projects in The City of New York should comply with both he letter and spirit of NYC's Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) and not destroy the character and scale of a neighborhood.
6. Due to the density of New York City, the environmental rules should be strictly adhered to and enforced.
Therefore, let it be understood that the position of CBID is that failure on any one of these grounds would be sufficient for this club to reject any project and, as the Forest City Ratner (FCR) proposal does not adequately address the above-referenced issues or fails said issues, CBID rejects and opposes the FCR Atlantic Yards proposal. |
