BILL NUMBER:S4960
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the New York city charter, in relation
to the application of uniform land use review procedures
PURPOSE: This bill provides that any not-for-profit organization or
corporation which provides or intends to provide shelter to homeless,
be subject to local/municipal land use community review procedures.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Applications for such land use shall
be reviewed pursuant to a uniform review procedure. The department of
city planning shall be responsible for certifying these applications.
JUSTIFICATION: Recently, the City of New York considered a homeless
plan that would turn over the responsibility of operating homeless
shelters to private not-for-profit organizations. There is a concern
that this shift of responsibility from the public to the private
sector will enable the municipality to circumvent the Uniform Land Use
Review Procedures that would otherwise apply. This legislation would
secure that the siting of these shelters would still be subject to
local community review.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2012: A5775 Referred to Cities.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None:
