The Charter Revision Commission, appointed by Mayor Eric Adams, focuses on amending the city charter to improve housing and land use procedures. It aims to reform the slow and costly Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), which hinders the efficient construction of affordable housing. Reports indicate that project approvals can take over six months and costs for permits can range significantly. Proposals to streamline ULURP and reschedule municipal election timings are being considered, and if approved, may appear on the November ballot for voter decision.
The Commission aims to reform the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), arguing in an interim report released last week that the current system hampers the city's ability to build affordable housing efficiently by delaying projects and raising costs of construction.
The CRC drafted a series of land-use proposals dedicated to streamlining the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure, or ULURP, and a separate measure to reschedule municipal elections to even-numbered years.
