REVISED AGENDA

ULURP / CITYWIDE APPLICATION CITYWIDE PROPOSED OPEN RESTAURANTS TEXT AMENDMENT ULURP# N210434ZRY The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) and Department of City Planning (DCP) are proposing a citywide zoning text amendment that will allow the DOT to administer the Permanent Open Restaurant program (POR). The proposal will remove sidewalk café regulations from the Zoning Resolution to increase geography eligibility as sidewalk cafes will become part of a unified sidewalk and roadway outdoor dining program administered at DOT.
