                     a)                     the designation of 151 East Tremont Avenue (Block 2808, Lot 4), as an Urban Development Action Area (the "Area"); and

 

b)                     an Urban Development Action Area Project for such area (the "Project");

 

to facilitate development of the site, Community Board 5, Borough of the Bronx (No. N 100116 HAX) (the "Application");

 

                     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 submitted to the Council its recommendations regarding the Application by letter dated December 28, 2009 and received January 11, 2010;

 

                     WHEREAS, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the Application and Decision on January 26, 2010;

 

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