2 From Nelson, Pope & Voorhis Kathy Eiseman, AICP; Partner/Division Manager PRESENTING THIS EVENING 3 The Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) Program is funded through the NYS Department of State (DOS) Three Step Program (generally) The BOA Program helps communities with brownfield sites to overcome obstacles to redevelopment and revitalization A brownfield is any site where redevelopment or re-use is complicated or challenged by prior land use. WHAT IS THE NYS BOA PROGRAM? 4 2

3 Step I Pre-Nomination Study: Preliminary analysis of the study area (Not required by DOS for The Orchard Neighborhood/Sea Cliff Avenue Corridor) Step II Nomination: Thorough description and analysis including existing conditions, economic and market trends, opportunities, identification of strategic sites, initial reuse potential (Completed in 2012 and BOA Designated by NYS in 2015) Step III Implementation Strategy: Full range of techniques and actions, identify timeframe of projects, site assessments of brownfields (Current Step BOA Step III) THE BOA PROCESS 5 Step II was completed in 2012 and the Coles School Addendum was completed in 2013 The Brownfield Opportunity Area was designated by NYS in December of 2015 Nelson, Pope & Voorhis hired as the lead consultant with a team of professionals (Nelson & Pope, Gedeon Consulting Engineers, Roux Associates, and Urbanomics) to assist in the BOA Step III Implementation Strategy Commenced work in the fall of 2015 ORCHARD/SEA CLIFF AVENUE CORRIDOR BOA HISTORY 6 3

8 Advanced BOA Step II Recommendations for Regional Commercial Center Cost benefit analysis Review DOT approval of interchange modifications Prepared I-2 District Code Amendments: allow for Regional Commercial Center with large-scale anchor and multiple tenant and pad sites; not competitive with downtown; and direct access from arterial required. PHOTOCIRCUITS/PASS & SEYMOUR SUPERFUND SITES 15 Orchard Neighborhood Residential Incentive Overlay District (RIO-ON) adopted in 2010 to encourage redevelopment in the neighborhood Since then only one redevelopment project has been implemented Carney Street Apartments Currently RIO-ON requires a minimum lot area of 15,000 SF (3 typical lots) to achieve incentives Analysis of option for 2 typical lots and prepared draft RIO-ON code amendment The intent is to promote private redevelopment within the Orchard Neighborhood by refining the existing RIO-ON THE ORCHARD NEIGHBORHOOD 16 8

9 TWO SAMPLE REDEVELOPMENT OPTIONS FOR 9,500 SF (TWO TYPICAL ORCHARD NEIGHBORHOOD LOTS) 17 PHOTO SIMULATION TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT ON 9,500 SF LOT (2 TYPICAL ORCHARD NEIGHBORHOOD LOTS) 18 9

10 Private property currently a gym (Retro Fitness) with long term lease Site is nearly 2 acres in size and there is additional +/-13,500 SF within the MTA/LIRR ROW Economic analysis identified feasibility of redevelopment with residential and small amount of commercial Ideally would include pedestrian connection from north end of Hazel Street (would require easement across National Grid property) ANALYSIS OF TOD AT THE GLEN STREET STATION 19 Analysis of possible redevelopment options: Meetings with MTA and LIRR potential for TOD which utilizes LIRR parking lot (MTA supports the concept for TOD) Conceptual design analyzed Identified the level of development required to achieve economic return with workforce housing component TOD SITE ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendations: Extension of RIO-ON District to encompass the area adjacent to the Train Station to encourage private redevelopment in the future with a TOD Amendments to the RIO-ON District Code: Permit higher residential density Apply to larger sites within the RIO-ON proximate to the Glen Street Station Require workforce housing (30% of units affordable at 30%-80% of AMI) Redevelopment could occur without the MTA parking 20 10

11 RECOMMENDED ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS 21 A stormwater treatment practice that utilizes the chemical, biological, and physical properties of plants, microbes, and soils for managing stormwater runoff and removing pollutants from runoff. Rain gardens are used for reducing pollutants in stormwater prior to recharge that also provide an attractive feature in the landscape. NP&V performed a sub-watershed assessment to identify potential green infrastructure projects within the Study Area which provides cost estimates and benefits of projects. Product is a report signed and sealed by an engineer which can be used in applying for funding for improvements. GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE 22 11

12 Improve pedestrian access between neighborhoods and LIRR Stations and the Daycare. Provide adequate off-street parking for new developments Initiate a program to upgrade existing curb ramps for accessibility and install new sidewalk sections where absent. TRANSPORTATION STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS (GEDEON ENGINEERING) 23 Convert Stanco Street to two-way operation to eliminate necessity for northbound drivers to use Capobianco Street. Update streetlight system to LED - increases efficiency through lower wattages, decreasing outages & maintenance costs due to longer lamp life. TRANSPORTATION STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS (GEDEON ENGINEERING) 24 12

13 EXISTING CITY OWNED PARKING LOT ON CAPOBIANCO STREET 25 Existing 14 stall parking lot posted as Tenant parking only owned by the City but not regulated per City Code Cost Benefit and Zoning Analysis for reuse: Zoning permits one single family home with relief required (lot is undersized) and therefore would not generate large return for the City Police Department provided field assistance regarding its use and found is generally used by residents in the area though not all are tenants of the apartment building ANALYSIS OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY ON CAPOBIANCO STREET 26 13
