WHEREAS, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the designation of the Area on June 8, 2004 and was recessed until June 10, 2004;

WHEREAS, the Council has considered the land use implications and other policy issues relating to the Area;

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 April 30, 2004 which identified significant adverse impacts and proposed mitigation measures (CEQR No. 03DME016K);

RESOLVED:

The Council finds that the Area is appropriate for urban renewal.

Having considered the FEIS, with respect to the Application, the Council finds that:

(1) The FEIS meets the requirements of 6 N.Y.C.R.R. Part 617;

From among the reasonable alternatives thereto, the actions to be approved are ones which minimize or avoid adverse environmental impacts to the maximum extent practicable; and

The adverse environmental impacts revealed in the FEIS will be minimized or avoided to the maximum extent practicable by incorporating as conditions to the approval those mitigative measures that were identified as practicable;

The Decision and the FEIS constitute the written statement of facts, and of social, economic and other factors and standards that form the basis of this determination, pursuant to 6 N.Y.C.R.R. §617.11(d).

Pursuant to Section 504 of the General Municipal Law, the Council designates the Area as the Brooklyn Center Urban Renewal Area.


Adopted.
