Notification of New Land Use Applications:  The Department of City Planning issues bi-weekly reports of new applications for discretionary land use actions.  We highlight most commercial and multi-family projects, and typically do not highlight projects involving individual homes.  If you would like the Planning and Land Use Committee to take a closer look at any of these projects, please contact the Committee Chair.
