The Department of City Planning (DCP) promotes strategic growth, transit‐oriented development and sustainable communities to enhance quality of life in the City, in part by initiating comprehensive, consensus‐based planning and zoning changes for individual neighborhoods and business districts, as well as establishing policies and zoning regulations applicable citywide. DCP also supports the City Planning Commission in its annual review of approximately 450 land use applications for actions such as zoning changes, special permits and a variety of other discretionary approvals. In addition, the Department assists both government agencies and the public by providing policy analysis and technical assistance relating to housing, transportation, community facilities, demography, zoning, urban design, waterfront areas and public open space. More specifically, under Housing New York: A Five-Borough, Ten Year Plan, the Department will is leading coordinated, ground up neighborhood planning studies and advancing regulatory changes – mandatory inclusionary housing in newly rezoned areas – to promote more economically diverse communities and housing opportunities for New Yorkers at all income levels. Through inclusive community development initiatives with stakeholders, DCP will expand access to quality jobs and services, and stimulate economic development benefitting all New Yorkers. In addition, DCP is committed to expanding public access to land use, housing and population data and planning resources through its online Community Portal, as well as to support informed participation by New Yorkers in neighborhood planning and land use review processes. The New York City Department of City Planning is a great place to work – cultivating intellectual inspiration, professional development and creativity.
