a)                     the designation of property located at 362-364 St. Nicholas Avenue (Block 1955, Lots 2 and 3), as an Urban Development Action Area (the "Area");

 

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 to be selected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (the "Disposition") to facilitate development of an 11-story building with approximately 22 residential units to be developed under the Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s Cornerstone Program  (ULURP No. C 060409 HAM), Community District10, Borough of Manhattan (the "Application");

 

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

 

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 November 1, 2006;
