QUEENS, NY –The Queens Borough Board and the Queens Borough Cabinet, both chaired by Borough President Donovan Richards Jr., will hold a joint meeting on Tuesday, July 13 at 5:30 PM.
The Borough Board will vote on the proposed Citywide Hotel Text Amendment, which aims to create a consistent approach to hotel development citywide by requiring City Planning Commission approval for new and enlarged hotels and motels in mixed-use and paired M1/R districts. The Board will also vote on a proposal that would expand the City’s efforts to encourage the opening of convenient and accessible grocery stores in underserved neighborhoods. Finally, the Board will vote on a proposal that would ease restrictions and reduce red tape for gyms, martial arts studios, and other health-related businesses.
Following the June 25 expiration of the State of Emergency declared by Governor Cuomo as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this meeting will be held in-person at Queens Borough Hall, although Board and Cabinet members will have the option to participate via videoconference.

The Borough Board is chaired by the Borough President under the New York City Charter and comprised of the borough’s City Council members and the chairperson of each Community Board in the borough. The Board focuses on issues dealing with land use, development, public policy, budget, and other important matters with potential borough-wide implications. The Board hears presentations from City officials and others and, as part of the land use review process, is sometimes called upon to vote on land use questions that impact more than one Community Board District.
