    So the BSA can approve it despite opposition from CB and zoning committee?

    CB’s are only good to rubber stamp what the Councilmember wants, they don’t really have concrete says on what happens in a community. I know this to be a fact AT CB13. If the Councilmember gives the go ahead to the BSA, the building will be built,no matter how the CB voted.

    Community Boards only give advisory decisions to the BSA on zoning items – the BSA has the final say. I guess they have a committee to go through applications, and the committee recommends to the Board as a whole what it should do…

    A Full list of Board members are online – do a search for Brooklyn COmmunity Board 15 and it’ll pop up.
