b)                     an Urban Development Action Area Project for such area (the "Project"); and

 

pursuant to Section 197-c of the New York City Charter for the disposition of such property to a developer selected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development to facilitate the rehabilitation of an existing five-story building, tentatively known as P.S. 109, with approximately  74 units (the "Disposition"), Community District 11, Borough of Manhattan (ULURP No. C 090145 HAM) (the "Application");

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;
