ULURP is the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure. Here is a short blurb about it:
"Prior to 1976, the City Planning Commission reviewed only applications related to zoning, the city map and urban renewal and housing. In 1976, the list of applications subject to Commission review was enlarged and now includes, pursuant to the City Charter enacted in 1989, those itemsdescribed below. The Charter's intent in requiring ULURP was to establish a standardized procedure whereby applications affecting the land use of the city would be publicly reviewed. The Charter also established mandated time frames within which application review must take place. Key participants in the ULURP process are now the Department of City Planning (DCP) and the City Planning Commission (CPC), Community Boards, the Borough Presidents, the Borough Boards, the City Council and the Mayor." For more detail see: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/luproc/ulpro.shtml#ccr
Right now, the proposed development does not require ULURP. It is important to get the DOE to agree to ULURP because it puts the decision making process in to the hands of other players including the Community Board, the Manhattan Borough Present and the City Council.

How Tall will the Tower Be?
The sample drawings in the RFEI show a tower of 402 feet for a 38 floor building. To put this in context, this is taller than 8 of the 11 towers in the Trump Complex along Riverside Boulevard. A 50 story building example was also given that would be over 500 ft. high.
The RFEI states that the height can even be larger than the 50 story sample, "The developers should note that taller towers could be built than shown if smaller floor plates are utilized." (p. 62 of the RFEI)
For example, according to the Wall Street Journal, the tower to be built above P.S. 59/H.S. for Art and Design (the ECF's last project) is slated to be 715 ft. high

Check out our Document Library
We have created a library of important documents relating to the PS 199 project located at:
https://sites.google.com/site/199proposal/
Included are:
- REFI (Request for Expressions of Interest) for the Project from the Education Construction Fund: this gives the most details about what is being proposed including site development, school size and funding.
- ECF 2008 Environmental Report from East 57th Project: This is a report about the last school construction project the ECF did. It provides insight into the criteria for moving ahead.
- Sample Drawings of what the project will look like inrelation to surrounding buildings.
- Letters from Elected Officials
- PS199 Neighborhood Fact Sheet: This highlights some of the density and resource utilizations issues in the neighborhood.
Please take a look and if you have other documents that would be of interest to our community and this project please email us at 199demolition@gmail.com.
