Lander, officials reject LICH proposal backed by Fortis
Cobble Hill community doesn’t support rezoning, says CHA
“The community does not support this ULURP proposal— and neither do I,” said Councilmember Brad Lander at Thursday night’s fall meeting of the Cobble Hill Association (CHA).
The crowded auditorium at P.S. 29 in Cobble Hill erupted in applause as Lander said he would work against developer Fortis’ higher-density ULURP (Unified Land Use Review Procedure) option for the development of the former Long Island College Hospital (LICH) site.
The ULURP version of the plan is one of two options presented by Fortis. Fortis has been heavily promoting the ULURP version, which would require rezoning.
