Community boards of Manhattan

The 1963 revision of the New York City Charter extended the Borough of Manhattan's "Community Planning Councils" (est. 1951) to the outer boroughs as "Community Planning Boards", which are now known as "Community Boards".{{cite news |last1=Forman |first1=Seth |title=Gotham Gazette -- Community Boards |url=https://www.gothamgazette.com/lessons/boards.shtml |access-date=16 June 2020 |work=www.gothamgazette.com |publisher=Gotham Gazette}}{{cite news |title=Court on Votes |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1963/08/25/archives/court-on-votes.html |access-date=18 June 2020 |work=The New York Times |date=25 August 1963}}

The 1975 revision of the New York City Charter set the number of Community Districts/Boards to 59, established the position of the district manager for the community districts, and created the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) which gave the community boards the authority to review land use proposals such as zoning actions and special permits.
