                     a)                     the designation of property located at 498-500, 502, 504, 506, 508 and 512 East 165th Street; 3219, 3217 and 3315 Third Avenue; 493, 495, 497, 499, 501, 503, 509, 511 and 513 Weiher Court (Block 2369, Lots 21, 23-30, 55-60 and 63-65), as an Urban Development Action Area (the "Area"); and

 

                     b)                     an Urban Development Action Area Project for such area (the "Project");

 

to facilitate the development of an 8-story mixed-use building, tentatively known as 3313 Third Avenue Apartments, with approximately 128 residential units and retail space to be developed under the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal’s Homes for Working Families Program and the New York City Housing Development Corporation’s Low Income Affordable Marketplace Program (Number N 070111 HAX), Community District 3, Borough of the Bronx (the "Application");

 

                     WHEREAS, the Application is related to ULURP Nos. C 820576-585 PPX, C 840849-853 PPX and C 990097 PPX;

 

 

                     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, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the Application and Decision on November 20, 2006;

 

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

 

                           WHEREAS, the Council has considered the relevant environmental issues and the Negative Declaration, issued on August 3, 2006 (CEQR No. 07HPD002X);

 

RESOLVED:

 

                     The Council finds that the action described herein will have no significant effect on the environment.

 

                       Pursuant to Article 16 of the General Municipal Law, the Council approves the decision of the City Planning Commission (N 070111 HAX).

                       The Council approves the designation of the Disposition Area as an urban development action area pursuant to Section 693 of the General Municipal Law.

 

                       The Council approves the Project as an urban development action area project pursuant to Section 694 of the General Municipal Law.
