Signing up to speak: Anyone wishing to speak on the items listed under “Public Hearings” in this Calendar should follow the instructions on NYC Engage Portal. Public officials will be given speaking priority. The first five speakers in favor will be heard and given the opportunity to conclude their testimony before the next five speakers in opposition are heard. The hearing will proceed in this manner until all speakers present have had an opportunity to be heard.
Length of Testimony: To give others an opportunity to speak, all speakers are asked to limit their remarks to three minutes.
Written Comments: Anyone wishing to present facts or to inform the Commission of their view on an item in this calendar but who cannot or does not wish to speak at the public hearing, may submit comments electronically using the CPC Comments Form on the public meeting page of the Department of City Planning website:

Tips from DCP:
- The Blood Center is item 2. DCP does not have an exact time estimate on how long item 1 will take, as they don't know how many people will be testifying. So attending at noon for instance, does run the risk of missing part or all of the item.
- If someone misses their name being called after registering to speak, they will need to re-register via NYC Engage or at the front desk of the hearing room.
- If someone registers for in-person testimony and wants to change that to Zoom, they'll need to re-register in order to be directed to the Zoom webinar link.
- There will be very limited seating in the hearing room, as the room is limited in capacity for social distancing.
