If the council does not so resolve, the approval of the petition by the department shall be forwarded to the mayor for approval pursuant to subdivision i of this section, unless, in accordance with that subdivision, the petition is one for which the mayor has determined that separate and additional mayoral approval is not required.

The affirmative vote of a majority of all the council members shall be required to approve, approve with modifications or disapprove the petition. Any modifications by the council shall not affect the terms of any proposed revocable consent agreement which relate to term, compensation, revocability, exclusivity, security, insurance, indemnification, erection, maintenance or removal of any structure, right of access by the city and rights of abutting property owners. If within the time period provided for in this subdivision, the council fails to act or fails to act by the required vote on a petition, the council shall be deemed to have approved the petition.
