\n Mayor de Blasio is refusing to let the city\u2019s land use review process restart \u2014 several weeks after the construction industry roared back to life \u2014 leaving in limbo for-profit development, affordable housing projects, and even neighborhood re-zonings backed by his administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re opening up the city. We\u2019re going to go to Phase Three. It\u2019s time for us to get to work,\u201d Councilman Rafael Salamanca (D-Bronx) told The Post.<\/p>\n

A City Hall spokesman said the multi-step public review process, formally called Uniform Land Use Review Procedure or ULURP, \u201cremains on pause due to the COVID crisis\u201d and pledged more information about a restart in the late summer. ULURP was suspended in March because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Vicki Been, de Blasio\u2019s deputy mayor for housing and economic development, told an industry roundtable last week that she was still working out technological issues to convert ULURP\u2019s in-person meetings to a remote system.<\/p>\n

\u201cI certainly expect that in the early fall we will be back in business,\u201d Been said.<\/p>\n

Joe Apicella, whose development firm The MacQuesten Companies is building 107 apartments for low-income residents in Brooklyn\u2019s Ocean Hill is gobsmacked by the holdup, which has put his project on ice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand COVID but you know it\u2019s just a shame because these are people who need a roof over their head. This a project that enjoys support form the area council member and the community. I can\u2019t rationalize in this day and age with technology<\/a> why we can\u2019t have meetings,\u201d Apicella told The Post.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who supports Apicella\u2019s development, blasted City Hall\u2019s foot-dragging.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time when the need for affordable housing is even more acute throughout our city due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there\u2019s simply no excuse for holding up developments for low-income families.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther delays in the land use process will increase the likelihood that closings won\u2019t happ<\/a>en until next year, creating a greater strain on our already-limited supply. If Borough Hall can figure out virtual ULURP hearings, so can the Department of City Planning,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n

Salamanca noted that businesses and nonprofits with pending land use applications are still paying attorneys and architects while the administration dithers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes no sense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In addition to the 1510 Broadway affordable housing project, other pending applications including neighborhood-wide re-zonings proposed by City Hall in Soho and Gowanus as well as a private waterfront rezoning in Long Island City\u2019s Anable Basin that would bring 5,000 condos and rentals, over 300,000 square feet of manufacturing space, three acres of public park and a new public school.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
