WHEREAS, the Application and Decision are subject to review and action by the Council pursuant to Article 16 of the General Municipal Law of New York State;

 

                       WHEREAS, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development ("HPD") submitted to the Council its recommendations regarding the Application on September 26, 2006;

 

                       WHEREAS, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the Application and Decision on October 3, 2006;

 

                       WHEREAS, the Council has considered the relevant environmental review (CEQR No. 06HPD018M) and the fact that a Negative Declaration was issued on March 24, 2006;

RESOLVED:

 

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