Int 1487-2019

Studying population and housing changes in areas that have been the subject of neighborhood rezonings.

This bill would require the Department of City Planning (DCP) to conduct a study in connection with each covered land use project approved by the City Council on or after January 1, 2009, to identify changes in population and housing that have occurred since the effective date of such covered project. By the end of the year 14 years after the effective date of a covered project, the DCP would be required to transmit a report to the mayor and the Council documenting the results of each such study and providing statistically-based context to describe any changes that have occurred. Covered projects would be projects for which the City or a non-profit corporation of which a majority of its members are appointed by the mayor is the applicant or co-applicant, that include one or more related applications for a change to the zoning map, a special permit withing the jurisdiction of the City Planning Commission, housing and urban renewal plans pursuant to state and federal law, or the disposition of City-owned property, that changes the maximum residential floor area or density that can be built as of-right on four adjacent blocks of real property.
