No. 28).

 

By Council Members Katz and Avella

 

                           WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission filed with the Council on January 30, 2006 its decision dated January 25, 2006 (the "Decision"), on the application submitted by the Department of City Planning, pursuant to Section 201 of the New York City Charter, for an amendment to the text of the Zoning Resolution (Application No. N 060170 ZRK) (the "Application");

 

                           WHEREAS, the Application is related to ULURP Application Number C 060171 ZMK  (L.U. No. 27), an amendment of the Zoning Map, Section Nos. 12c, 12d, 13a and 13b to rezone approximately 19 blocks to MX-8, M1-2/R6A and M1-2/R6B;

 

                           WHEREAS, the Decision is subject to review and action by the Council pursuant to Section 197-d(b)(1) of the City Charter;

 

                           WHEREAS, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the Decision and Application on February 27, 2006;

 

                           WHEREAS, the Council has considered the land use implications and other policy issues relating to the Decision and Application; and

 

                     WHEREAS, the Council has considered the relevant environmental issues (CEQR No. 04DCP003K);

 

A Notice of Minor Modification was issued on October 31, 2005, which determined that the zoning text and map changes set forth in Applications N060170ZRK and 060171ZMK would not result in any new or additional significant adverse impacts not already set forth in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Rezoning. The Notice of Completion for the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Rezoning FEIS was issued on March 4, 2005.

 

To avoid the potential for air quality impacts associated with boiler emissions, the proposed zoning map amendment includes (E) designations.

 

RESOLVED:

 

                           The Council finds that the action described herein will have no significant effect on the environment;

 

                           Pursuant to Sections 197-d and 200 of the City Charter and on the basis of the Decision and Application the Council approves the Decision; and

 

                           The Zoning Resolution of the City of New York, effective as of December 15, 1961, and as subsequently amended, is further amended as follows:

 

 

Underlined matter is new, to be added;

Matter in Strikeout is old, to be deleted;
