The Plan conforms to a comprehensive community plan for the development of the municipality as a whole; 5. There is a feasible method for the relocation of families and individuals displaced from the Area into decent, safe and sanitary dwellings, which are or will be provided in the Area or in other areas not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and public and commercial facilities, at rents or prices within the financial means of such families or individuals, and reasonably accessible to their places of employment; and 6. The undertaking and carrying out of the urban renewal activities in stages is in the best public interest and will not cause any additional or increased hardship to the residents of the Area. Pursuant to Section 505 of the General Municipal Law, the Council approves the Second Amended Urban Renewal Plan for the Fulton Park Urban Renewal Area, dated April 2003 as modified by the City Planning Commission.
