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]

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because the copied text is from a legislative bill drafted by the NY Senate and enacted into law. I do not know where the proposer of the deletion found that link or document. The document the proposer linked to is derivative of the legislative bill. We must question why the G12 criteria was chosen for quoting a document created for the public, authored by elected representatives, and cited with the exact page numbers as they appeared on the bill. I can't imagine legislation is copyrighted, but if that is the case we can remedy this by removing a section rather than the article. The document I copied from is properly referenced, so I am assuming the proposer for deletion did not actually inspect the article. I would have no problem deleting the section, or getting advice on how to print NY State law on Wikipedia. The copied section of the legal code can be paraphrased, but at the cost of inheriting ambiguity. I see no reason for a speedy deletion when the remedy is to preserve the article and remove the offending section, ideally with a remark for future editors on the talk page and a warning on the editor's talk page. --Louis Waweru  Talk  13:40, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
