Land Use & Planning

ULURP is how NYC ensures that everyone – community members, stakeholders, and decision makers – from the local level all the way to the citywide level all have a say in important land use decisions. 

For example, if a developer wanted to change city zoning to build an eight-story building in an area coded for a maximum two-story building, that change must go through ULURP. If the city proposes a neighborhood- or city-wide zoning change, like City of Yes, that also must go through ULURP.
