a)                     the designation of property located at 277 Kosciuszko Street (Block 1781, Lot 60), 275 Kosciuszko Street (Block 1781, Lot 61), and 273 Kosciuszko Street (Block 1781, Lot 62), 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 New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to facilitate development of a six-story building, tentatively known as Providence House II, with approximately 45 units, to be developed under the Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s Supportive Housing Loan Program (the "Disposition"), Community District 3, Borough of Brooklyn (ULURP No. C 100155 HAK) (the "Application");

 

                     WHEREAS, the Application is related to Application Number C 100156 ZSK (L.U. No. 108),  a special permit pursuant to Section 74-902 to permit the allowable community facility floor area ratio of Section 24-11 (Maximum Floor Area Ratio) to apply to a proposed 6-story community facility with sleeping accommodations;

 

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, on May 13, 2010, by letter dated April 26, 2010, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development submitted its requests respecting the Application;

 

                       WHEREAS, upon due notice, the Council held a public hearing on the Application and Decision on June 1, 2010;

 

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

                       The Council finds that the present status of the Disposition 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.
