Communities. 1. CBAs may give neighborhoods a more meaningful role in the development process than the opportunities ULURP provides for public participation. Those who champion CBAs on behalf of local communities articulate several justifications for the agreements. First, they argue that the City’s normal land use procedures often fail to ensure that the concerns of the neighborhood most affected by the proposed development are considered and adequately addressed.250 They argue that the representatives of the neighborhood -- the community board, the borough president, and City Council members -- are not effective in advocating for the community. They assert that community boards are given few resources and little training to evaluate development proposals.251 They note that members serve at the pleasure of borough 250 More generally, communities in many cities have turned the CBAs out of frustration with the lack of meaningful opportunities for communities to participate in the planning and design of federal urban renewal projects, community economic development programs, and land use decisions more generally.

But community members also may fear that their elected officials may disregard the community’s concerns for reasons the community may find more troubling, such as the role developers’ contributions may play in financing political campaigns.254 One of the tools designed to give neighborhoods more power in the land use process -- community based plans sanctioned by §197a of the City’s charter -- is widely seen as having very li...

Communities. 1. CBAs may give neighborhoods a more meaningful role in the development process than the opportunities the existing land use process provides for public participation.
2. CBAs give neighborhoods a role in the development process when the local government’s typical land use processes are pre-empted
3. CBAs give neighborhoods an opportunity to address issues, such as wage rates or employment practices, that the local government has not addressed in the normal land use process.
4. CBAs allow neighborhoods to control the distribution of at least some of the benefits of the development.
Communities. 1. CBAs may give neighborhoods a more meaningful role in the development process than the opportunities the existing land use process provides for public participation. Those who champion CBAs on behalf of local communities articulate several justifications for the agreements. First, they argue that the local government’s normal land use procedures often fail to ensure that the concerns of the neighborhood most affected by the proposed development are considered and adequately addressed.52 They worry as well that the representatives of the neighborhood are not effective in advocating for the community. In New York City, for example, community boards’ recommendations are advisory only and may be ignored by the appointed planning commission or elected officials.53 Others in the land use approval process could disregard a community board’s recommendations for appropriate reasons, such as the City’s need for a particular type of development, but also may be perceived as disregarding the community’s concerns because they depend upon developers for campaign contributions or other political support.54 Further, the community boards are given few resources and little training to evaluate development proposals. Members serve at the pleasure of the borough president, who sometimes replaces members whose views he or she does not like. Finally, while New York City gives communities the power to propose their own plans, there is widespread dissatisfaction with that process.55 50 See, for example, Town of Henrietta v Department of Environmental Conservation, 430 NYS2d 440, 445–48 (NY App 1980). 51 CBAs also should be viewed against the doctrines limiting the reach of neighborhood consent provisions in zoning ordinances. Such provisions require developers to secure the consent of some percentage of neighboring property owners before they can develop the property. The requirements have met with considerable skepticism, and the Supreme Court’s limited jurisprudence on neighbors’ consent provisions suggests that they are unconstitutional if neighbors are able to exercise unbridled discretion, at least if the proposed use is not a noxious one. See Seattle Title Trust Co v Xxxxxxx, 278 US 116, 120–22 (1928) (determining that an ordinance which allows for the erection of a philanthropic home for children or the elderly only when two- thirds of the nearby property owners consent violates the Fourteenth Amendment); Xxxxxx v City of Richmond, 226 US 137, 140–44 (1912) (holding tha...
