LPC’s Virtual Public Hearings and Meetings
• LPC has been holding virtual public hearings and meetings on Zoom.
• These are also being live-streaming on our YouTube channel.
http://www.youtube.com/nyclpc
• Through YouTube live-stream anyone can watch the entire hearing.
• LPC has been using the Zoom “meeting” format but is currently trying the
“webinar” format to determine if there are operational and ease-of-use
advantages. The webinar will be used for the May 19th public hearing.

YouTube channel.

“Be Here by” time indicated on the Hearing Agenda. This is usually about
an hour before the anticipated time the application will be presented. Be
