RESOLUTION NO. 1486

 

Resolution approving the decision of the City Planning Commission on ULURP No. C 050172 ZMX, a Zoning Map change (L.U. No. 785).

 

By Council Members Katz and Avella

 

WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission filed with the Council on May 12, 2008 its decision dated May 7, 2008 (the "Decision"), on the application submitted by Westpark, Inc., pursuant to Sections 197-c and 201 of the New York City Charter, for an amendment to the Zoning Map (ULURP No. C 050172 ZMX) (the "Application");

 

WHEREAS, the Decision is subject to review and action by the Council pursuant to Section 197-d(b)(1) of the City Charter;

 

WHEREAS, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the Decision and Application on June 2, 2008;

 

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

 

                      WHEREAS, the Council has considered the relevant environmental issues and the Conditional Negative Declaration, issued on January 7, 2008 (CEQR No. 05DCP034X) which states the following:

 

                     The environmental analysis includes an (E) designation for hazardous materials to be placed on Block 3805, Lots 1 and 7.  The placement of the (E) designation E-207 would eliminate the potential for significant adverse impact on those sites and would ensure that appropriate testing and /or remediation, if needed, would be undertaken.

 

RESOLVED:

 

The Council finds that the action described herein will have no significant effect on the environment, subject to the following condition:

 

That an (E) designation (E-207) be established on Block 3805, Lots 1 and 7, ensuring that appropriate testing and/or remediation for sub-soil hazardous materials would be undertaken thereby eliminating the potential for significant adverse impacts due to hazardous materials on those sites. 

 

Pursuant to Sections 197-d and 200 of the City Charter and on the basis of the Decision and Application, the Council approves the Decision.

 

                     The Zoning Resolution of the City of New York, effective as of December 15, 1961, and as subsequently amended, is further amended by changing the Zoning Map, Section No. 4b changing from an R5 District to an R6 District property bounded by Westchester Avenue, a line 450 feet northeasterly of Pugsley Avenue, a line midway between Westchester Avenue and Newbold Avenue, and  Pugsley Avenue, as shown on a diagram (for illustrative purposes only) dated January 7, 2008 and which includes CEQR Designation E-207., Community District 9, Borough of the Bronx.

 

 

Adopted.
