they probably do, they just need the power to actually review, then a lot of employees to review plans.

no need for anything new, just give the parks department more power. in NYC you need parks approval to cut down any tree in city right of way, if you want to cut down an old tree you have to give a good reason and then pay like $100,000 in restitution. I've worked on several projects were the developer couldn't give a shit about trees and I'm like Parks will make it a headache for you! and they're like fine we'll shift the loading dock.

Sure. That's likely the least headache but most expensive option.
