Land Use Review forms provide the City Planning Commission (CPC), Department of City Planning (DCP), community boards, borough presidents, the City Council and other interested parties with information needed to evaluate applications for many land use actions subject to city review.

Most land use actions are subject to the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), a public review process mandated by Sections 197-c and 197-d of the City Charter. Zoning text amendments follow a similar process but are not subject to ULURP. Other actions require approval by the City Planning Commission or its chair but are not subject to ULURP. Such actions include zoning authorizations, certifications, review of Charter Section 197-a plans, UDAAP area designations and project approvals, business improvement districts, and modifications or follow-ups to previous land use actions.

The online version of the forms contains instructions and forms used for submission of applications to the NYC Department of City Planning for approval of land use actions. It includes a complete set of forms and instructions describing how to complete the forms and the required attachments for each of the following actions:

  • City Map Change
  • Zoning Map Change
  • Zoning Text Amendment
  • Zoning Special Permit
  • Zoning Authorization
  • Zoning Certification
  • Public Facility Site Selection or Acquisition
  • Disposition of City-owned property
  • Urban Development Action Area Designation or Project

This term is defined in the law to include the processing of applications under NYC Charter §197-c (ULURP) and §201 ( Zoning Text Amendment).

Likewise, on or after April 14, 2008, applications covered by Local Law 34 will only be certified or referred for public review if the ‘Doing Business Data Form’ has been completed. Note that the ‘Data Business Data Form’ must be completed for any applications covered by Local Law 34 which were filed prior to April 14 and have not been certified or referred to date.
