                     a)                     the designation of 2339 Prospect Avenue (Block 3102/Lot 47), 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 a six-story building tentatively known as Residencia Estrella-Vargas, with approximately 32 units of permanent housing for low-income families and one unit for the superintendent to be developed under the HPD Supportive Housing Program, Community District 6, Borough of the Bronx (No. N 040352 HAX) (the "Application");
