Description
Respondent Rural Ulster Preservation Company (hereinafter RUPCO) is the owner of a multiunit apartment building in the City of Kingston, Ulster County, which is located within the Rondout Historic District. RUPCO sought the necessary approvals to rehabilitate the property with a view toward renting the apartment units to low-income tenants. On October 11, 1990, the Planning Board of the City of Kingston (hereinafter Board) determined that RUPCOs special permit application would have no significant impact on the environment and would not require the preparation of a draft environmental impact statement. The Board issued a negative declaration and approved the renovation as proposed. Petitioners, real property owners contiguous to and near the proposed project, commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding against the members of the Board and RUPCO, asserting, inter alia, violations of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (ECL art 8) (hereinafter SEQRA). Supreme Court dismissed the petition and this appeal by petitioners ensued.
