The City Planning Commission (CPC) will weigh in on the Related Companies’ proposal to redevelop the Kingsbridge Armory on Monday, Oct. 19.
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. issued a negative recommendation to the Commission last month because Related has not yet agreed to negotiate a Community Benefits Agreement.
Asked about the CPC’s upcoming vote, Diaz, referring to his representative on the Commission, Kenneth Knuckles, told the Norwood News, “I don’t think I’m going to be the only ‘no’ vote.”
Each borough president has one appointee, but the mayor appoints the majority of the commissioners.
The City Council, where the final decision on the project will be made, then has 20 days to vote on the project.
