The New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) stands with the Black Community within our agency and across New York City. We recognize that planning policies and zoning codes have acted for decades as bulwarks against fairness, inclusion and integration, and that they have played a large role in perpetuating racism and even violence against Black and Brown Americans.

Update on City Planning Business in light of COVID-19
Department of City Planning (DCP) offices are currently closed while staff work remotely. If you need assistance, please call (212) 720-3300. DCP has temporarily revised its filing and zoning verification protocols.
City Planning Commission meetings resumed remotely on August 3 for projects not subject to the City’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) or that were already in public review prior to a March 16 ULURP suspension, as well as for presentations on projects that will go into public review in the future.
The full ULURP process will resume on Sept. 14.
Besides ULURP, certain zoning provisions for Privately Owned Public Spaces and Waterfront Public Access Areas are temporarily suspended, and will remain suspended after Sept. 14.

- The LIC Waterfront Design Guidelines are a set of principles and strategies intended to foster an overall sense of place and ensure the creation of a cohesive character for this evolving section of LIC. Each building developed along this key portion of the Waterfront should aspire to reflect the ‘industrial and creative character’ of Long Island City’s heritage, and be anchored by a dynamic network of publicly accessible open spaces. These guidelines seek to inform the process of establishing a distinct waterfront district connecting Queensbridge Park to Anable Basin that complements this unique neighborhood.
