Key Milestones and Progress
March 18, 2013
: The Department of City Planning certified the St. Francis Preparatory School Rezoning. St. Francis agreed to help the agency pilot the improved review process developed under BluePRint. In January 2012, St. Francis Prep submitted a Pre-Application Statement to launch the process, and on March 18, 15 months later, the Department certified the application to initiate public review, a process that is estimated to have taken 30 months before BluePRint. St. Francis is the first pilot to be certified under the improved review process, and the Department is pleased that the process brought the application to certification with greater efficiency, speed, and predictability.
