BILL NUMBER:A8796
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to urban development action areas
Purpose or general idea of bill
If a proposed urban development action area project is to be developed on an eligible area and consists solely of the rehabilitation or conservation of existing private or multiple dwellings or the construction of one to four unit dwellings or until June 13th, 2012, for up to six urban development action area projects in any calendar year, the construction of up to ninety dwelling units financed by the federal government and restricted to occupancy by the elderly or by persons with disabilities.
Summary of specific provisions
Existing provisions of Article 16 of the General Municipal law authorize expedited land use review under Urban Development Action Area Project (UDAAP) for projects to rehabili- tate existing residential buildings or to construct one- to four-unit dwellings. This bill would expand this expedited land use review provision to include federally financed projects to construct new rental housing for elderly or disabled persons of low income. Chapter 701 of the Laws of 2006 was intended to create such a result but several sections of the General Municipal Law that are required to effectuate this purpose were inadvertently omitted from that Chapter. This bill contains those provisions and would now allow the Section 202 and Section 811 projects to be subject to accelerated land use review as was intended by Chapter 701.
