City Council Review
NYC land-use governance provides for City Council review of defined categories of CPC actions, including automatic review for certain zoning actions and optional "call-up" review for other items. DCP guidance distinguishes between actions automatically reviewed and those the Council may elect to review within a time window after CPC files its report.
