SECTION 1732
City approval of sites
Public Authorities (PBA) CHAPTER 43-A, ARTICLE 8, TITLE 6
§ 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.
