Key Factors for Rezoning

  • The simpler the better
  • Use changes complicate things
  • Using existing zoning designations, rather

than creating new ones, much easier

  • Look for precedents – similar areas where

the City has agreed to do similar things

Potential Routes for Rezoning

IDEAL:

  • City Planning is applicant
  • Goes through ULURP process
  • Swifter, cheaper, greater likelihood of

success

  • Downside – you lose control

NEXT STEPS:

  • Community Board support
  • Elected officials’ support
  • Meet with DCP

Potential Routes for Rezoning

LESS IDEAL:

  • Private applicant (could be GVSHP)
  • DCP decides scope of review, can make it very

long and difficult

  • If gets through scoping, goes through ULURP

process

  • Longer, more expensive, no guarantee of approval
  • Upside – you control the application

NEXT STEPS:

  • Community Board support
  • Elected officials’ support
  • Meet with DCP
