Defining ULURP
The Brooklyn Paper's cautiously positive editorial on the new plans for Coney Island includes this noteworthy definition of NYC's Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP):
...the city’s rigorous land-use review process — where the public, elected officials and bona-fide city planners could hack away at it until it was honed to perfection.
It’s this very public-review process that the borough’s other mega-project, Atlantic Yards, was allowed to skirt — to that project’s, and the public’s, great disservice.
