NYC Department of Enivronmental Coordination: Coney Island Public Scoping Meeting
Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 6pm
Abraham Lincoln High School, 2800 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn
Public Scoping is the process whereby the public is invited to comment on the proposed scope of analysis and identification of issues to be addressed in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) as outlined in the Draft Scope of Work for a project.
An initial public scoping meeting about the new Coney Island development was held on February 13, 2008. Following this scoping meeting, the City continued dialogue with stakeholders and has reviewed and considered comments received during this process. As a result, the rezoning plan has been modified to achieve a better balance between indoor and outdoor amusement and entertainment uses in the proposed Coney East Subarea and reduced the proposed amount of mapped parkland to accommodate additional development for enclosed amusement and entertainment uses.
