"ULURP's faster, younger sibling is making its debut in the Bronx."
"A new development on Powers Avenue in Morris Park will be the first city project to take advantage of a new expedited approval process for affordable housing, turning a vacant city-owned lot into 80 apartments and community space."
"The Expedited Land Use Review Process, dubbed "ELURP," will allow the city to dispose of the land faster, providing 60 days of simultaneous review by the local community board and borough president, followed by 30 days for the City Council."
""Instead of a seven month process over to our development partners, we can now do that in just 90 days," said Deputy Mayor for Housing Leila Bozorg."
An accelerated land-use review process called the Expedited Land Use Review Process (ELURP) will be used to convert a vacant city-owned parking lot on Powers Avenue in Morris Park, Bronx, into 80 affordable apartments and ground-floor community facilities. ELURP provides 60 days of simultaneous review by the local community board and borough president, followed by 30 days for City Council action, enabling project approval within 90 days. Voter-approved ballot measures authorized the faster review and additional tools to use public land for housing. The expedited track aims to avoid delays associated with ULURP and shorten development timelines from roughly seven months.
