Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I understand that, but in terms of the developer, he’s not— he or she is not receiving any additional zoning benefits for the 4,800 square feet of open space. That is not providing the height benefits.Gail Benjamin · Commissioner1:50:04

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
