800 East Main Street Rezone (Contractors' Register Property)

800 E Main Yorktown Dev AMS LLC has petitioned the Town of Yorktown Town Board  for an amendment to the Zoning Map for the Town of Yorktown, to rezone the approximately 35.53-acre property located at 800 East Main Street (Tax ID 5.19-1-15) from OB Research Laboratory and Office District to the RSP-2 Senior Citizens District and for text amendments to the Town of Yorktown Town Code affecting the RSP-2. 

The Applicant proposes to remove the site’s existing improvements, approximately 63,617 square feet of office space and related parking infrastructure, and develop an active adult residential community for residents aged 55 and over, consisting of 250 dwelling units (including a mix of rental units and for-sale townhomes) together with amenities, 383 parking spaces, and related infrastructure.

As explained in the FEIS attached below, the Applicant has submitted with the response to comments, a Revised Proposed Project that consists of 180-units of age-restricted multifamily housing developed in two multifamily buildings, consisting of 60 one-bedroom units and 120 two-bedroom units. Dwelling units in the multi-family building would range from approximately 845 sf to 1,369 sf. The average size of the one-bedroom units would be 860 sf and the average size of the two-bedroom units would be 1,162 sf, and all dwelling units would include balconies. Interior amenities for the multi-family buildings would include a clubhouse with club room, demonstration kitchen, catering kitchen, fitness center, spa, screening room, sports lounge, reading room, and an art studio. Exterior amenities would include a pool and barbecue area within the courtyard between the multi-family buildings, as well as sports courts and natural walking trails.

The multifamily buildings of the Revised Proposed Project are in the same location, and are the same height, as the multi-family buildings in the Alternative Site Layout. Each multi-family building would be four stories and approximately 55-feet tall and would feature similar architectural design to the building in the Alternative Site Layout. The residences would be supported by 270 parking spaces, open spaces, walking trails, and other recreational amenities, similar to the Alternative Site Layout. The multifamily buildings would have a total of approximately 246,000 gross sf, including approximately 12,000 sf of amenity space, resulting in a proposed site-wide FAR of 0.16. No cottages are proposed in the Revised Proposed Project.
