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 New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to facilitate development of a seven-story building, tentatively known as Riverway Apartments, with approximately 115 residential units, commercial and community facility space, to be developed under the Department of Housing Preservation and Development Supportive Housing Program (the "Disposition"), Community District 16, Borough of Brooklyn (ULURP No. C 090447 HAK) (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, 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, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development ("HPD") submitted to the Council its recommendations regarding the Application on September 2, 2009;

 

                       WHEREAS, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the Application and Decision on October 27, 2009;
