The City Planning Commission and Department of City Planning are proposing amendments to Title 62 of the Rules of the City of New York to implement amendments to the New York City Charter that alter the City’s land use review process. Specifically, the City Planning Commission proposes to add a new Chapter 14 to Title 62 of the Rules of the City of New York to implement the Expedited Land Use Review Procedure (ELURP) established by Section 197-e of the New York City Charter, and add a new Chapter 15 to Title 62 of the Rules of the City of New York for determining whether an application directly facilitates the development of additional affordable housing for purposes of review by the Affordable Housing Appeals Board (AHAB) established by Section 197-g of the Charter. The Department of City Planning proposes to: add a new Chapter 15 to Title 62 of the Rules of the City of New York regarding the administration of the Affordable Housing Appeals Board established by Section 197-g of the New York City Charter; amend Subchapter B of Chapter 3 in Title 62 to charge fees for applications filed pursuant to Section 197-e of the Charter; and amend Section 10-01 of Title 62 of the Rules of the City of New York to apply existing pre-application process requirements to land use applications to be filed pursuant to Section 197-e of the Charter.

    To the CPC and whom it may concern, I wish to express broad support for the proposed rules as written. I would like to emphasize the preservation with respect to the allowance of 2 commercial FAR, providing commercial uses within residential provides benefits to the tenants and landlords by providing services near where people live and generating income to landlords.

    I would also like to propose that the 60-day DCP administrative review (as part of the pre-certification process) be shortened for ELURP to 30 days. As noted in the “Get Stuff Built” report and New York Housing Conference’s reports, ULURP has historically suffered greatly from the pre-certification review loop and shortening the timeline here can help address one of the sources of major delays. With a 60 day cycle, several rounds of feedback can easily add up to 12+ months of pre-certification project. With ELURP, these projects are often less complicated and require a shorter amount of review so expediting the review in the context of these smaller projects can help get them get delivered faster.

    Thanks for your consideration.
