Proposed Revision of the Community District 2 Boundaries
For Board Action
For recommendation to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg
The Atlantic Yards mixed-use development straddles the boundaries of Community Districts 2, 6, and 8 (see below). Prior to the opening of the Barclays Center, the New York Police Department (NYPD) analyzed service in the 77th, 78th and 88th precincts. NYPD determined the most effective delivery of police services would be accomplished by moving the boundary of the 78th Precinct from Pacific Street (the line passing through the arena in orange below) north to Hanson Place, South Elliott Place, Academy Park Place, South Portland Avenue and Atlantic Avenue.
District Manager Robert Perris will present a proposal to recommend to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg that the boundary of Community District 2 be changed to be coterminous with the revised boundary of the 78th Precinct. Pursuant to Section 2702(a) of the New York City Charter, the mayor may recommend changes to the community district map every ten years. The deadline for the mayor to submit recommendations to the City Council is October 1, 2013. |

In order to ensure that the executive committee has sufficient time to discuss more complex matters before Community Board 2, the opportunity to review the following items has been waived. Public hearings on these applications will be held in the future by the Department of Transportation (DOT), in the case of the first item, and LPC. Anyone wishing to know when these public hearings are being held can contact the district office, 718-596-5410.

In addition, all pending applications to the New York State Liquor Authority have been scheduled for review by the community board's Health, Environment and Social Services Committee on September 9. The committee's meeting has been rescheduled from its usual day, the first Wednesday of the month, to avoid a conflict with Rosh Hashanah. |
