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.
