a)                     the designation of property located at 138-150 West 128th Street (Block 1912, p/o Lot 12), as an Urban Development Action Area (the "Area");

 

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 to facilitate the development of a six-story building, tentatively known as The Dempsey, with approximately 80 dwelling units (the "Disposition"), Community District 10, Borough of Manhattan (ULURP No. C 090374 HAM) (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 14, 2009;

 

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

 

                     WHEREAS, the Council has considered the relevant environmental issues and the Negative Declaration, issued on March 9, 2009 (CEQR No. 09HPD025M);
