  Minutes from previous 12/2/2019 meeting:

  • Attendees: Bob Balder,  Nicolas Grefenstette, Scott Shostak, Gregory Roussine, Steve Whitehouse, Max Taffet
  • Michael Marrella from NYC Department of City Planning spoke about the 2030 Comprehensive Waterfront Plan that is due to be released 12/31/2020 (plan is due 13 months from today)
    • Highlights:
      • Discussed how DCP Waterfront and Open Space division and APA NY Metro Chapter might work together on out reach
      • This next comp plan will be the 3^rd plan the first was in 1992
      • The first 1992 plan focused largely on land use
        • 1992 recommended waterfront zoning
        • Public access at the expense of the developer—that was a huge sea change in the way NYC zoned. First city in the US to establish waterfront access through zoning
      • Now 25 years later that has lead to approximately two dozen waterfront access sites – it has proven to be important, not a replacement for parks but additive to public access to the waterfront
      • But there are limitations since it is related to zoning
        • For instance because its power comes from zoning the City cant you require that people provide boat access of elevation
      • By mid 2000s as the real estate market in NYC started to gain hyper speed – amidst other rezoning there was concern among advocates that we were losing out maritime waterfront
      • That lead to the passing of city council legislation to require an update of the waterfront comp plan by end of 2010
        • 2010 release looked at the blue network and resiliency
        • Another element was governance and regulation –
          • In reaction to waterfront permitting projects that were supposed to take 6 months actually took 8 to 9 years
        • Action Agenda of 125 projects accompanied the last waterfront comp plan
      • Comp plan is not law —  it is a document of the administration—similar to PlaNYC or OneNYC
      • “The power of the plan is the power of good ideas”
      • There is an opportunity to focus on the planning issues and topics—this would be a helpful space for APA to contribute
      • Late summer early fall APA will have the opportunity to provide comment on the draft document. 
      • Waterfront is still hidden to many New Yorkers so there is a benefit to continuing to offer tours
      • Timing Milestones
        • Scoping is underway now via the thematic listening sessions. Scoping will continue through early spring and will include workshops in boroughs
          • Opportunity for planners workshop in the spring? Or for each APA Committee to take on a pertinent part of the plan that relates to their committees
        • Late summer draft recommendations expect
  • Possible 2020 CM Credit Events (other than Comp Plan events)
    • Land Use Law
    • Mortgages and Insurance – the new Red Line, the Blue Line
    • Waterfront Zoning/Building Code
    • Waterfront M Zones in the Future—OSW, Freight, and what else
  • Anyone with suggested panelists please feel free to make suggestions

This year’s conference theme is Erasure, Remembrance, and Healing, recognizing multiple anniversaries The year 2019 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, a series of spontaneous, gay, anti-police demonstrations at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, New York City, marking a seminal moment in the gay liberation movement. It also marks the 100th Anniversary of the 1919 “Red Summer,” where more than 250 African Americans were killed in at least 25 riots across the U.S by white mobs that never received punishment, largely omitted from history textbooks. 2019 also marks 400 years since enslaved Africans were brought by European colonists onto occupied Powhatan territory, historically renamed Jamestown in Virginia.

  In this session, learn to set next-level goals for yourself through the investments of your time.

  About this Event

  Women often sell themselves short—what Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In calls the “leadership ambition gap.” In this interactive workshop, we break down why that gap exists, and how women can move past the obstacles to set and achieve more ambitious goals for themselves.

  This workshop creates a motivating space for workshop participants to investigate what being more ambitious about their career goals would mean for them—and to leverage both their left and right brain in aiming higher. At the same time, they’ll learn to avoid burnout by working smarter not harder and building lasting value for themselves through the investments of their time. Participants will set next-level career goals for themselves and learn practical strategies for achieving them, marshalling the support of others.

  This session is open to people of all genders but will focus on some unique challenges women can face.

  WHEN:
  Wednesday, November 20, 2019
  12:00 am

  WHERE:
  WSP, One Penn Plaza, 4th Floor, Training Rooms 4054/4055, New York New York

   APA-NYM Workshop, “Sustainability Among the Silos”

  When: Wednesday, November 20, 6:30pm – 8:30pm
  Where: WSP, One Penn Plaza, 4th Floor, Midtown Manhattan
  Pre-Registration Required by 11/18: RSVP HERE
  2 CM Credits.

  Please join us for an exciting workshop, “Sustainability Among the Silos: A Professional Dialogue on Changes to Planning Practice to Meet the Challenges of Future Sustainability.”

  The pursuit of a sustainable future and climate mitigation and adaptation—in areas such as housing, land use, economic development, transportation, public health, resiliency, and environmental protection—is a critical imperative for our communities, our regions, our country, and the entire world. It is a pursuit that challenges the planning profession to adapt its practices in order to holistically incorporate the demands of sustainability across the many policy, legislative, and jurisdictional silos in which planners do their work.

  In recognition of the challenge inherent in planning for sustainability, the APA New York Metro Chapter is beginning an initiative to explore the feasibility of change within the profession and the way that change might be accomplished. Through Sustainability Among the Silos, the Chapter seeks to marshal the experiences and insights of its members to optimize the profession’s role in the pursuit of sustainability by harnessing the energy and creativity of our communities and our technologies to craft wide-ranging solutions to the crucial problems that we all currently face. A Chapter workshop is the first step in this initiative.

  Pre-Registration is required. RSVP for the workshop by 11/18 HERE.
