Special NYC panel officially proposes five ballot measures altering land-use rules

New York City ballots this November will include four land-use proposals and a bid to shift municipal election years after a special panel voted to advance their suggestions Monday.

The Charter Revision Commission, empaneled by Mayor Eric Adams in December to address the city’s housing shortage, approved four ballot measures it had been considering that would amend the City Charter to streamline affordable housing projects, as well as a fifth to shift the city election to even-numbered years. New Yorkers will vote on all five proposals in November.
