The Borough Board meeting agenda will include a public hearing on the following:

 

The M1 Hotel text amendment (180349 ZRY) would introduce a Special Permit under the jurisdiction of the City Planning Commission (CPC) for new hotels, motels, tourist cabins, and boatels in Light Manufacturing (M1) districts citywide, in order to ensure that hotels are built on appropriate sites and provide for a balanced mix of jobs and uses in such areas. The CPC Special Permit would be required for transient hotels in the affected M1 districts. The proposed text amendment would apply to all M1 districts excluding MX (paired manufacturing/residential) districts, as well as M1 districts that include or are adjacent to airport property. M1 districts with existing hotel Special Permit provisions would be excluded. Furthermore, existing hotels within M1 districts with permits issued by the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) on or before April 23, 2018 would be permitted to continue development as long they complete construction and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy no later than three years after the proposed action is adopted. A Special Permit would not be required for transient hotels operated for a public purpose by the City or State of New York, or a non-governmental entity pursuant to an active contract or other written agreement with an agency thereof, specifying a public purpose.
