Requires compliance with the uniform land use review procedure for the disposition of school property in New York city
This bill requires New York City to follow a specific land use review process before selling, leasing, or otherwise disposing of school property. It directly affects the city's Board of Education and officials responsible for managing school sites by mandating compliance with existing city charter rules for any such transactions. The legislation also clarifies that these land use requirements must be met even when transferring school land to developers for mixed-use projects, while ensuring that community involvement rules for school changes remain intact. By updating the Education Law, the bill ensures that no school property is transferred without first undergoing the standard uniform land use review procedure.
