Council staff opens the meeting of the Subcommittee on Landmarks, Public Sitings, Resiliency and Dispositions, asks everyone to silence electronic devices, states that no one will be approached today, and tells the chair the panel is ready to begin.
Chair Christopher Marte welcomes attendees, introduces himself as chair of the subcommittee, and notes that Council Members Aviles, Thomas-Henry and Hanks are joining him. He states the meeting is being held in a hybrid format.
Chair Marte states that the agenda contains one vote on applications heard by the subcommittee last month: LU 129 and LU 130 for the 48-50 Convent Avenue cluster, brought forward under HPD's Affordable Neighborhood Cooperative Program.
Chair Marte explains that the applications seek Urban Development Action Area Project approval under Section 691 of the General Municipal Law and approval of a 40-year Article 11 tax exemption under Section 577 of the Private Housing Finance Law.
Chair Marte says the actions would preserve four buildings containing 77 homeownership units, and notes support from local leaders. He asks subcommittee members with questions or remarks on the items to signal him.
Chair Marte calls for a vote to approve LU 129 and LU 130 and asks council staff to call the roll.
Staff calls the roll on LU 129 and 130. Chair Marte, Council Member Aviles, Council Member Hanks and Council Member Thomas-Henry each vote aye.
Staff reports a vote of four in the affirmative, zero negative and zero abstentions. The items are adopted and referred to the full Land Use Committee.
Chair Marte thanks council staff and says the vote will remain open for any other subcommittee members who may join later.
After a pause, Chair Marte notes that Council Member Nurse has joined the meeting and asks staff to continue the roll call. Nurse votes aye on LU 129 and 130.
Staff announces a final tally of five in the affirmative, zero negative and zero abstentions. The items are again adopted and referred to the full Land Use Committee.
Chair Marte declares that today's business is concluded, thanks the public, his colleagues, subcommittee council and land use staff, and the Sergeant at Arms, and adjourns the meeting.
