The Council finds that the requirements of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto have been met, and finds that the action to be approved is one which minimizes or avoids adverse environmental impacts to the maximum extent practicable, by incorporating as conditions to the decision those mitigation measures that were identified as practicable.
The Council finds that the 1991 FEIS, the Technical Memorandum and the Notice of Minor Modification dated September 10, 2010 constitutes the written statement of facts that form the basis of the decision.
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, M 900604 (A) ZMX, incorporated by reference herein, the Council approves the Decision.
