N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1732: City approval of sites

§ 1732. City approval of sites. 1. Following the hearings held

pursuant to section seventeen hundred thirty-one of this title, but

prior to initiating construction of new educational facilities, the

authority shall submit the site plan of such projects to the mayor and

the council for review, provided, however, that such review shall be

limited to the site selected for the project.

2. The site plan shall be deemed to be approved by the city unless

within twenty days of such submission by the authority it is disapproved

by the mayor or by the council, acting by a two-thirds vote. The council

may, by a two-thirds vote, override any disapproval of the mayor within

twenty days following receipt of notice of such disapproval from the

mayor. The notice provision contained herein shall be deemed sufficient

for action by the mayor and the council notwithstanding any provision of

law, local or general, or charter to the contrary.

3. The city may not require the authority to conduct any further

hearings or seek any further approvals as a condition for receiving city

approval.

4. If the council or mayor disapproves the site plan, (a) the

authority may, after consultation with the city board, revise such site

plan for resubmission pursuant to section seventeen hundred thirty-one

of this title and this section or (b) the authority may, with the

agreement of the city board and chancellor, eliminate such site plan

from the five-year educational facilities capital plan.
