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  selected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (the "Disposition") to facilitate the development of a 2-story commercial building, tentatively known as Anchor Broadway Site 2, to be developed under the Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s ANCHOR Program (ULURP No. C 060527 HAK), Community District 4, Borough of Brooklyn  (the "Application");
