New York City Planning Commission

The New York City Planning Commission (CPC) is a government body responsible for overseeing the city's land use and zoning regulations. It reviews and approves proposals for new developments, rezoning, and land use changes to ensure they align with city policies and community needs. The commission guides the city's growth, balancing development with neighborhood character, sustainability, and infrastructure needs. It also advises the City Council and Mayor on planning issues, working to promote well-organized, equitable, and sustainable urban development across NYC's diverse neighborhoods.
