By: Ross F. Moskowitz, , John B. Egnatios-Beene, Ashley E. Doukas, Eva C. Schneider
On April 22, 2019, the staff for the 2019 Charter Revision Commission (the “2019 Commission”) released its Preliminary Staff Report (the “Report”), which makes recommendations on topics as varied as elections, redistricting and land use.
In this Stroock Special Bulletin, we outline the recommendations related to land use.
(This article is the second in a series. The first, “The Charter Commission 2019 Proposals That Could Reshape NYC Land Use and Zoning,” appeared in January, providing an overview of the proposals the 2019 Commission had received. Click here to read the first installment.)
The Report recommends that the 2019 Commission consider and solicit feedback on the following potential charter amendments and recommendations:
Recommendations Related to Community Boards and the ULURP Process
Recommendations Related to Planning
Other Recommendations
The 2019 Commission will be holding a series of Borough Hearings within the next three weeks (listed below), after which the 2019 Commission, in mid-June will issue its final proposals by resolution directing staff to prepare the final report and ballot questions.
In late July the 2019 Commission will adopt a finalized packet, which will be submitted to the City Clerk. From August through October the 2019 Commission will embark on a public education campaign on the final proposals. On November 5, 2019, the public will vote on the final proposals.

The Stroock land use and environmental team will continue to monitor the 2019 Commission’s proposals and provide updates. In the interim, please let us know if you have any questions.
