Uniform Land Use Review Procedure
open-in-new
<p>Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) is a process mandated by the 1975 revision of the <a href="/facts/New_York_City_Charter/NYm1XkSD">New York City Charter</a> that is invoked when a proposed development will affect certain legal protections afforded to the existing area and/or its inhabitants. The standardization of the ULURP creates a democratizing aspect of greater public involvement and thus a degree of transparency into future effects of proposed developments that result in consequences as defined in section 197-c of the Charter. The process allows the affected the opportunity to stop a development, or find common-ground and come to a compromise with the developer, wherein the negative effects are acknowledged but allowed upon some <a href="/facts/Quid_pro_quo/hlvg9USA">quid-pro-quo</a> concessional proposal change that allows the affected to accept the negative impacts in light of the positive concessions. </p>
