AMS Yonkers Downtown Redevelopment Project
Yonkers, New York
BFJ Planning, on behalf of the City of Yonkers, reviewed the AMS Yonkers Downtown Redevelopment Project, one of the largest single redevelopment efforts in Westchester County. A private Applicant sought to amend the City of Yonkers Zoning Code and Zoning Map to facilitate the development of three sites in downtown Yonkers known as the “Teutonia Hall Site”, the “Chicken Island Site”, and the “North Broadway Site”. In several phases over approximately ten years, the Applicant proposed to redevelop the project sites with approximately 3,556 residential rental units, approximately 97,000 square feet (sf) of retail use, approximately 38,000 sf of commercial office, and approximately 2,906 parking spaces. The project involved both a zoning text and map amendment as well as site plan approval. BFJ assisted the City in the review of the project as well as all New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) documents, including the scoping document, draft and final environmental impact statement, and the Findings Statement.
