Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration on February 20 launched the city’s first-ever Expedited Land Use Review Procedure, beginning the review for a disposition of city-owned land at 351 Powers Ave. in the Bronx that the administration said would create approximately 84 affordable homes.
Deputy Mayor for Housing and Planning Leila Bozorg made the housing announcement at the Powers Avenue site at 10 a.m. that Friday, according to the mayor’s public schedule, which listed the event as open press.
The new procedure, known as ELURP and approved by voters in November, offers a streamlined public review process for modest housing and climate resiliency projects, the administration said. Reviews under the procedure conclude within 90 days, down from roughly seven months under the standard process, according to the mayor’s office.
