In acting on the Transfer, the City Council shall make findings in support of its decision. The City Council shall not approve or conditionally approve a Transfer unless it finds that the development resulting from the Transfer meets each of the standards set forth in Subsection A.2.(a) and A.2.(b) or B.2.(a) and B.2.(b) of this section, as applicable. (2) The Council may impose conditions as it deems appropriate to accomplish the purposes and objectives of the Redevelopment and Community Plans and to assure that the development resulting from the Transfer meets the standards set forth in Subsection A.2.(a) and A.2.(b) or B.2.(a) and B.2.(b) of this section, as applicable. (f) Mayoral Action. (1) When the City Council approves or conditionally approves a proposed Transfer for a Project, the matter together with the files and reports shall forthwith be transmitted to the Mayor. The Mayor may approve or disapprove the proposed Transfer within ten calendar days of its presentation to the Mayor. This action shall be based solely upon the administrative record and whether the Mayor believes the proposed Transfer conforms with the requirements for approval set forth in this section. If the Mayor disapproves the proposed Transfer, the Mayor shall return the matter to the City Clerk for presentation to the City Council, together with the objections in writing. The City Council, within 60 calendar days after the matter has been returned to it, may override the disapproval by a two-thirds vote.
