Yonkers Residential Development Proposal Revised to 60 Apartments
Developer reduces proposed building from twelve to eight stories following zoning concerns.
A proposed residential development in Yonkers' Nodine Hill neighborhood has been scaled back, with plans now calling for 60 apartments in an eight-story building at 69 Spruce Street.
According to Westfair Business Journal, Bronx-based developer AVL Homes LLC revised its original proposal, which called for 90 apartments in a 12-story building, after the initial plans exceeded existing zoning restrictions.
The approximately 0.85-acre property is located across from Cerrato Lane, adjacent to the city-owned Fleming Park. The site currently contains a two-story multifamily building and garage, which would be demolished to accommodate the new development.
The revised project would include 21 one-bedroom apartments, 21 two-bedroom apartments and 18 three-bedroom apartments. Plans also call for 98 parking spaces, including nine at grade level and 89 within the building, along with a laundry room, package room and tenant office.
Mount Vernon-based Badaly Engineering is involved in the project's design.
The Westchester County Planning Board has raised several site-planning concerns, including the proposed driveway configuration, extensive paved surfaces and pedestrian access. County officials also recommended reviewing parking requirements to reduce site disturbance and encouraged the inclusion of bicycle storage and designated e-bike charging facilities.
The developer was expected to present the revised proposal to the Yonkers Planning Board at its November 12 meeting.
The project represents another proposed addition to Yonkers' residential housing inventory, while illustrating how zoning regulations, parking requirements and infrastructure considerations can influence the scale and design of new multifamily developments.
