Missing from article

Complete description of process

With the goal of being terse I believe this can be done, despite the complexity of the procedure. Refer to resources section for more information and 197-c of the Charter. Louis Waweru  Talk  10:03, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Flow chart accompanying section

See here: Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) (nyc.gov). I don't know if example is reusable as NYC seems to reserve all rights to many works it publishes, unlike works of the United States Federal Government which all seem to be public domain.

Case study

I think the goal of the legislation ULURP was born from is all about community involvement while not impeding too heavily on the capital injections that go hand-in-hand with new developments. So, in a very American way, it's about finding compromise in sharing power without marginalizing the citizenry, a theme dating back to the US Constitution. In the case of ULURP it's less of a compromise in power sharing between governing bodies and the people, but power sharing between the people and large capital projects.

I can show a case study where a major developer's proposal is well argued, and still rejected by the community, but later altered to be more inclusive, and even include strange quirks like the corner stores of the re-developed city block will reopen as the same class of business, and can only ever do so in the future; the number of bedrooms in the district must be preserved at their current rates, meaning bedrooms were being destroyed, not by demolition, but by the construction resulting in bedrooms failing to meet city code regulations regarding footage of open space from window, sunlight, fresh-air.

The case-study is interesting because while some promises were kept, others weren't, which shows that ULURP isn't perfect, but is a step towards citizens shaping their environment. Louis Waweru  Talk  10:03, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
