      WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission filed with the Council on September 7, 2012 its decision dated September 5, 2012 (the "Decision"), on the application submitted by the New York City Department of City Planning, pursuant to Sections 197-c and 201 of the New York City Charter, for an amendment of the Zoning Map, which along with its related action, would facilitate the West Harlem Rezoning, an area-wide 90-block rezoning of northern West Harlem, Community District 9 (ULURP No. C 120309 ZMM), Borough of Manhattan (the "Application");
 
WHEREAS, the Application is related to Application N 120310 ZRM (L.U. No. 716), an amendment to the text of the Zoning Resolution;
 
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 October 3, 2012;
 
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 and the Final Environmental Impact Statement ("FEIS") for which a Notice of Completion was issued on August 24, 2012, and the Technical Memorandum dated September 5, 2012 and October 26, 2012 (collectively, the "Technical Memoranda") (CEQR No. 12DCP070M);
 
RESOLVED:
 
Having considered the FEIS and the Technical Memoranda, with respect to the Decision and Application, the Council finds that:
 
(1)            The FEIS meets the requirements of 6 N.Y.C.R.R. Part 617;
  1. Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations, from among the reasonable alternatives thereto, the action to be approved, as modified herein, is one which minimizes or avoids adverse environmental impacts to the maximum extent practicable;
  3. The adverse environmental impacts disclosed in the FEIS and the Technical Memoranda will be minimized or avoided to the maximum extent practicable by incorporating as conditions to the proposed action, as modified herein, those mitigative measures that were identified as practicable; and
  5.     The Decision together with the FEIS and the Technical Memoranda, constitute the written statement of facts, and of social, economic and other factors and standards that form the basis of the decision, pursuant to 6 N.Y.C.R.R. §617.11(d).
 
Pursuant to Sections 197-d and 200 of the City Charter and on the basis of the Decision and Application, and based on the environmental determination and consideration described in this report, C 120309 ZMM, incorporated by reference herein, the Council approves the Decision with the following modifications:
