                       1.                     Find that the present status of the Project Area tends to impair or arrest the sound growth and development of the municipality and that the proposed Urban Development Action Area Project is consistent with the policy and purposes stated in Section 691 of the General Municipal Law;

 

                        2.                     Approve the designation of the Project Area as an Urban Development Action Area pursuant to Section 693 of the General Municipal Law; and

 

                       3.                     Approve the Project as an Urban Development Action Area Project pursuant to Section 694 of the General Municipal Law.

 

                        WHEREAS, the Project is to be developed on land that is an eligible area as defined in Section 692 of the General Municipal Law, consists solely of the rehabilitation or conservation of existing private or multiple dwellings or the construction of one- to four-unit dwellings, and does not require any change in land use permitted under the New York City Zoning Resolution;

 

                     WHEREAS, the Project amends a previously approved project C 080227 HAX (L.U. No. 708; Resolution No. 1369 of 2008);

 

                        WHEREAS, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the Amended Project on February 9, 2009;

 

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

 

RESOLVED:

 

                     The Council finds that the present status of the Project Area tends to impair or arrest the sound growth and development of the City of New York and that a designation of the Project as an urban development action area project is consistent with the policy and purposes stated in Section 691 of the General Municipal Law.

 

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