Expedited Land Use Review Procedure Launches For 351 Powers Avenue In Mott Haven, The Bronx

The City’s first Expedited Land Use Review Procedure (ELURP) has launched for 351 Powers Avenue in Mott Haven, The Bronx, initiating a streamlined public review process for the disposition of City-owned land that would create approximately 84 affordable homes. The Department of City Planning will also begin review of a proposal for the City to acquire a parcel adjacent to Saw Mill Creek Marsh Park on Staten Island to support ongoing restoration and conservation efforts. Both applications will proceed under ELURP, which shortens public review to 90 days from roughly seven months under the standard process.
