<br /> 72-288 "I submit the attached resolution and recommend it be adopted. This approves
<br /> the General Neighborhood Renewal Plan for the Southside Area, Va. R-71. The City Council
<br /> adopte~d a resolution at its mee'ting on June 13, 1972; however, there is a paragraph not
<br /> acceptable to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
<br />
<br /> The paragraph from the previous resolution not acceptable to HUD reads as follows:
<br />
<br /> ~That it is hereby found and determined that the General Neighborhood Renewal
<br /> Plan for the General Neighborhood Renewal Area conforms to the ~eneral ~lan
<br /> of the City of Portsmouth and to the Workable Program for Community Improvement.~
<br />
<br /> The suggested wording that is acceptable reads as follows:
<br />
<br /> 'That it is hereby found and determined that the General Neighborhood Renewal
<br /> Plan for the General Neighborhood Renewal Area conforms to the General Plan
<br /> of the City of Portsmouth and to the Workable Program for Community Improvement
<br /> or where any variance exists between same General Plan of the City of Portsmouth
<br /> and the Workable Program for Community Improvement with the G.N.R.P., such
<br /> variance will be amended to place the General Plan of the City of Portsmouth
<br /> and the Workable Program for Community Improvement into conformity with the said
<br /> G.N.R.P.~
<br />
<br /> It is my understanding, should the Council adopt the amended resolution, that it
<br />will not prevent the Council from amending any part of the G.N.R.P. at a future date that
<br />is not acceptable. It is necessary that the resolution be adopted prior to July 15 in
<br />order to insure that funds will be reserved by LoD for the Southside program and the local
<br />credits for the Effingham Street remain eligible.-
<br />
<br /> l~otion of >4r. Smith and seconded by ~4r. Joh~nson, the following resolution was adopted,
