Land Use Law for Architects

As architects, we love to marry form and function – our view of the best outcome for a neighborhood, the most comfortable or profitable for our clients, the most energy-efficient or the most aesthetically refined.

But so much goes into defining the “box” into which we must fit our buildings, as well as the government programs that endeavor to keep housing more affordable - topics that were not really our focus during Architecture School.

Join AIA Brooklyn for a special evening with attorneys from Belkin Burden Goldman, LLP as they layout the fundamentals of:

• City of Yes and related zoning changes that are reshaping our projects and our neighborhoods
• Mandatory Inclusionary Housing and Universal Affordability Preference, and recognizing when these programs may be required or advantageous
• The Universal Land Use Review Process (ULURP) — triggers, benefits and pitfalls
• Tax incentive programs that intend to stimulate affordability in residential development and how to account for these measures early in the design process

BBG will be sponsoring this event, and their team of lawyers are all experts in their field. The presentation will be followed by a robust Q & A.

Sign up early - registration closes at noon on June 16.

Light refreshments will be served.
