One of AMUP's primary goals is to ensure a diverse and vibrant mix of uses including space for jobs, services, local retail, community facilities, creative and cultural uses, and light industrial businesses.

The nearby special Gowanus mixed use district utilizes zoning tools to narrowly target these uses.

Yet the administration claims they are unable to include this tool with AIM UP.

I do not understand or agree with this position.

My community has advocated for these incentives for years, and this is a core pillar of our plan.

It is unacceptable that my colleagues and I were initially told these tools would would could be included only to have DCP now change its mind.

I wanna make this abundantly clear.

If we cannot include these zoning incentives, it will jeopardize the future of this plan.

We can't claim to be doing good community planning if the community's top goals are ignored.
