83 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1 Introduction The Applicant, Arthur May Redevelopment LLC, seeks Town Board approval for a Town of Poughkeepsie Zoning Ordinance amendment that would result in designation of a new Anchor Project use in the Arlington Town Center (ATC) District. The amendment is proposed to allow "Anchor Projects" that can serve as a catalyst for increased investment in the Town of Poughkeepsie in the ATC District. An Anchor Project contributes to the economic development of the immediate neighborhood and greater community by adding goods, services, and residences within a walkable community environment thus supporting the economic development goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Upon the designation of the Anchor Project on tax lots and (located at 25 and 31 Raymond Avenue, respectively) in the ATC Zone, the Applicant seeks site plan approval to develop a mixed use development project including 168+/ apartments with clubhouse amenities, 86,592+/ square feet of commercial space (110 room hotel and specialty retail and restaurants), open area (including an outdoor seating), and 279 parking spaces ("Arthur May School Property Redevelopment") at this location (see Figures 1, 2 and 3). The apartments are proposed to include a mix of sizes, including approximately 24 studio units, 104 one bedroom units, and 40 two bedroom units. The development is anticipated to include seven buildings, ranging from three to five stories, and featuring aesthetically pleasing and contextual architecture as described as follows: Two, three story buildings would be constructed fronting on Raymond Avenue featuring 6,696+/ square feet of ground floor commercial with 16+/ residential apartments above ( Building A on the Site Plan) and 6,696 +/ square feet of ground floor commercial with 16+/ residential apartments above ( Building B on the Site Plan); Two, four story buildings (Buildings C 1 and C 2 on the Site Plan) would be constructed in the southwest corner of the project site. Each 61,920 square foot building would feature 68 residential apartments; A five story, 110+/ room hotel building ( Building D on the Site Plan) would be constructed behind Buildings A and B within the central portion of the project site; A one story building featuring 4,950 square feet of commercial space would also front on Raymond Avenue, and would be located in the southeast corner of the project site ( Building E ); A 5,000 square foot clubhouse, including leasing and maintenance office space, would be located at the back of the project site along the western boundary to serve as an amenity to the residents; In addition, 279+/ surface parking spaces would be provided; Access to the site would be via an existing access entry located opposite Davis Avenue on Raymond Avenue; and The former school would be demolished as part of the proposed action.

The Arthur May School Property Redevelopment is located in the Arlington Town Center area of the Town of Poughkeepsie at the intersection of Raymond Avenue (NYS Route 376) and Haight Avenue (US Route 44). This area is home to Vassar College and a mixed use community that offers business, cultural and community uses combined with residential and institutional uses. Raymond Avenue has recently undergone design improvements by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) that have enhanced the pedestrian accessibility to the area, and made parking easier for visitors arriving by vehicle. The area located within 500 feet of the project site is generally surrounded by commercial development to the east and residential development to the west. Collegeview Towers, a nine story residential building, is located immediately south of the former Arthur May Elementary School, and Vassar The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

85 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 4 College is located nearby. Raymond Avenue is largely characterized by commercial and institutional uses. The site is currently zoned as part of the Arlington Town Center (ATC) Zoning District. The project site is located within the Arlington Business Improvement District (ABID) which states as its vision for Arlington, to continue creating a vibrant business district steeped in history. The fundamental goal of our thriving commercial district is to attract a wide variety of retail shops, restaurants, and convenience related businesses to be enjoyed by community members in a safe, beautiful environment. 1 The Town of Poughkeepsie conducted a reconnaissance level historic resource survey update in September The project site was identified in the survey as appearing eligible for designation on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Initially, the building was found not eligible for designation by New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP); however, subsequently NYSOPRHP determined that the building is eligible for designation (see Attachment D). The building remains eligible to date, and has not been listed on the National or State Register for Historic Places. The Town of Poughkeepsie Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2007, examines Arlington Town Center in Section III, Centers and Greenspace Plan. The Plan describes the Raymond Avenue area between Vassar College and Main Street as the, historic heart of Poughkeepsie s Town Center, by far the best place in Town to reinforce a walkable neighborhood and main street business district, integrated with the college and featuring smaller scale shops, restaurants with outdoor dining, and into the evening activities. 2 A discussion of Arlington Town Center states that the Arlington core has little or no room to grow, which is described as necessary to maintain a stronger base of commercial and residential diversity. 3 As a solution, the Plan recommends infill development, that is compatible with the existing neighborhood, but also provides a more diverse and energetic commercial core with opportunities for new buildings and businesses. 4 The proposed zoning text amendment proposes to designate the Anchor Project use as part of the ATC District to allow for transformative mixed use developments that may act as a catalyst for economic development in the Town of Poughkeepsie. The Arthur May School Property Redevelopment is proposed to bring 168+/ apartments with clubhouse amenities, a 110 room hotel, and 18,342+/ square feet of commercial space, which alongside the existing residences and specialty and boutique stores already occupying Raymond Avenue would invigorate development along and near the Raymond Avenue corridor. New landscaping would be added to enhance the aesthetics of the site. The Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would revitalize Arlington Town Center with a new mixed residential and commercial development featuring high quality architecture. 1.2 Zoning Text Amendment The proposed zoning text amendment (see Attachment A) would: a.

The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

86 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 5 b. Amend (B), Arlington Town Center (ATC) District to add Anchor Projects as a permitted use, subject to c. Add a new section, , providing special provisions, as well as use and bulk regulations, for Anchor Projects. An Anchor Project is defined as: A project comprised of a mix of uses that may include but is not limited to commercial, residential and institutional uses. Anchor Projects contain sufficient residential density and supporting commercial uses to promote business activity both on and off site, and that may act as a catalyst for increased investment on adjoining and nearby properties that may be underutilized or blighted. Anchor uses include provisions for plazas and/or green spaces and promote a walkable environment. Anchor Projects allow residential, commercial, institutional, and mixed uses similar to those currently allowed in the ATC District. The proposed Anchor Project amendment will allow as of right some new uses and uses that are currently allowed by special permit only under existing zoning. In addition, some requirements of permitted uses would be modified. Finally, not all of the permitted uses allowed in the ATC District would be allowed in an Anchor Project use. To support their ability to serve as a catalyst for increased investment in the Town of Poughkeepsie, the proposed Anchor Project use allows an increased residential density, lot coverage, lot width, lot frontage and building height; and reduces the required front and rear yards and the maximum impervious surface compared to the rest of the ATC District. During site plan and subdivision review, and at the discretion of the Planning Board, design standards will be applied for Anchor Project uses as proposed in Shared parking is allowed for Anchor Projects and cumulative parking requirements may be reduced at the discretion of the Planning Board where it can be determined that the peak requirements of the different land uses requiring parking occur at different times. In the event a lower parking total is approved by the Planning Board, no future change in use at the project site would be allowed without further evidence that the available parking will adequately provide enough parking for all uses. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would be consistent with the purpose of the amendments. The project is proposed to include a mixed use development project including 168+/ apartments, 18,342+/ square feet of commercial space, a 110 room hotel, open area, and 279 parking spaces on a 6.8 acre site. As such, the project would introduce new goods and services to the Arlington Town Center area, while introducing new residential development to support such uses. 1.3 Amendment Procedure Following receipt of the petition and other required information, including the FEAF Part 1, the Town Board will refer the application to the Planning Board and to the County Planning Department for review and recommendation. Within 90 days of receipt of the application from the Town Board, the Planning Board will make a recommendation to the Town Board as to whether, in the opinion of the Planning Board, the Zoning Ordinance should be amended to allow Anchor Projects. Within 62 days of receipt of the Planning Board's recommendation, the Town Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment. Within 62 days of the close of the public hearing, the Town Board will act to approve or disapprove the proposed amendment. The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

87 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page Site Plan, Special Use Permit and Subdivision Review Approval Anchor Project uses are required to undergo site plan and may undergo special use permit and subdivision review. During these reviews, the Planning Board may apply additional terms and conditions on the project. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would undergo site plan review upon approval of the zoning text amendment. No subdivision or special permit approval is currently proposed, but subdivision and special permit approval may be sought in the future. 1.5 Additional Approvals The project site is proposed to be served by municipal water and sewer, and the Arthur May School Property Redevelopment is required to obtain approval from the Town of Poughkeepsie Sewer and Water Department and the Dutchess County Department of Health. Utility work will require approval from the Town of Poughkeepsie Highway Department and NYSDOT for a Highway Work Permit. The project development will require ground disturbance in excess of one acre; therefore, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will be prepared pursuant to New York State Department of Environmental Coordination (NYSDEC) State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP ). NYSOPRHP will be consulted for their determination of the proposed project s potential to affect historic and cultural resources. There are no wetlands or streams located on site. 2.0 LAND USE, ZONING AND PUBLIC POLICY 2.1 Land Use The project site is occupied by the former Arthur May School, which has remained vacant since The project site is currently zoned as part of the ATC Zoning District. The existing land use within 500 feet of the project site is generally comprised of a mix of residential and commercial uses, with some institutional uses, notably Vassar College, a post office, and Arlington Reformed Church (see Figure 4). Raymond Avenue is generally developed with one to two story buildings containing small boutique or specialty stores, with some residences located above ground floor uses. Collegeview Towers, a nine story residential building, is located immediately south of the former Arthur May Elementary School, and Vassar College is located nearby. The Arlington Town Center area extends north across Haight Avenue to Main Street, which is a developed commercial corridor. The Poughkeepsie train station is located on Main Street in the City of Poughkeepsie, and is served by both Amtrak and Metro North providing service to Grand Central Station in New York City. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would have access to the City of Poughkeepsie Main Street and Shopper s Special Bus Routes, which travel along Raymond Avenue providing access to and from the site. The Dutchess County Department of Mass Transit operates the Dutchess County LOOP Bus System that provides a variety of bus services throughout Dutchess County, including the L Bus Route that has stops on Raymond Avenue at Fulton and Raymond Avenue at Main Street. The Dutchess Rail Trail and several Town of Poughkeepsie facilities (Carriage Hill Park, Crestwood Park, Overocker Park, and Red Oaks Mill Park) are located within a mile. The Walkway Over the Hudson and privately owned Vassar Golf Course and Vassar Farm and Ecological Preserve are also located nearby. The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

88 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 7 The existing ATC Zoning District allows mixed use development on medium and large sized parcels (greater than 5,000 square feet) in buildings of five stories or less. Residential density may be no greater than eight units per acre, except when dwelling units are developed above a non residential use. Commercial uses are meant to complement the existing residential neighborhood in the form of general goods and services. Under existing ATC Zoning, the project site could be redeveloped into a mixed use development featuring mixed residential and commercial buildings facing onto Raymond Avenue, with more residential development behind. Based on the zoning, approximately 71 dwelling units (approximately 126 new residents) and approximately 14,413 square feet of commercial development could be developed in buildings reaching up to five stories or 75 feet by special permit. Based on the number of units, a typical development scenario would likely include a mix of studios, one bedroom and two bedroom units (see Table 2). Commercial development would likely be comprised of retail featuring typical goods and services. Pursuant to the proposed zoning text amendment, the Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would include 168+/ apartments, 18,342+/ square feet of commercial space, a 110 room hotel, open area, and 279 parking spaces (see Table 2). The apartments are proposed to include a mix of studios, one bedroom and two bedroom units. The commercial development is anticipated to include specialty retail and restaurants. The development will consist of seven buildings (including three buildings fronting on Raymond Avenue), ranging one to five stories, and featuring aesthetically pleasing and contextual architecture. Table 2: Development Scenarios under Zoning Zoning Development Scenario Arlington Town Center (ATC) 71 Dwelling Units Zoning District Typical 126 New Residents Development 14,413 SF Commercial Up to 5 stories tall Arthur May School Property 168* Dwelling Units Redevelopment 313 New Residents 18,342 SF Commercial 110 Hotel Rooms Up to 5 stories tall * Each hotel unit counts as 1/10 th of a dwelling unit for the purposes of the overall residential density calculation. Therefore, for density purposes, the total dwelling units proposed is 179. This incremental increase does not impact the parking as parking for hotels is stipulated separately from residential dwelling units. Under the proposed zoning text amendment, the proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would include approximately 97 more dwelling units with approximately 187 additional new residents; more than what is permitted under current zoning. The proposed zoning allows greater commercial development on the project site. In addition, the zoning text amendment allows an increased lot coverage, lot width, lot frontage, and reduces the required rear yard and maximum impervious surface. Similar to the ATC District, the Planning Board will apply design standards during site plan, special use permit and subdivision review process as stipulated in Shared parking is encouraged in the proposed zoning text amendment similar to the ATC District. Shared and cumulative parking requirements may be reduced at the discretion of the Planning Board where it can be determined that the peak requirements of the different land uses requiring parking occur at different times. In the event a lower parking total is approved by the Planning Board, no future change in The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

89 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 8 uses at the project site would be allowed without further evidence that the available parking will adequately provide enough parking for all uses. The proposed zoning text amendment and the Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would revitalize Arlington Town Center by transforming the landscape with a new mixed residential and commercial development. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would include approximately 97 more dwelling units with approximately 187 additional new residents above what is currently allowed under current zoning within a mixed use development that features specialty retail and restaurants. The proposed zoning text amendment and the Arthur May School Property Redevelopment are not anticipated to negatively impact the land use character of the neighborhood as the addition of new residents and proposed commercial uses are not substantially different than what would be permitted under existing zoning. 2.2 Zoning Purpose of Amendment The ATC District s purpose is to promote the following: (1) Promote a mix of commercial and residential uses. (2) Promote the prominent positioning of civic buildings and central green spaces in order to enhance community identity and public interaction. (3) Promote pedestrian activity through a safe and walkable environment. (4) Minimize the visual impact of the automobile by managing the placement and screening/landscaping of parking areas. (5) Create an interconnected street system for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. (6) Encourage the development of both on street parking and shared parking areas between nearby uses. (7) Protect important natural and historic features. (8) Encourage the redevelopment and reuse of existing structures. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to allow Anchor Projects in the ATC District. Anchor Projects are defined as: A project comprised of a mix of uses that may include but is not limited to commercial, residential and institutional uses. Anchor Projects contain sufficient residential density and supporting commercial uses to promote business activity both on and off site, and that may act as a catalyst for increased investment on adjoining and nearby properties that may be underutilized or blighted. Anchor uses include provisions for plazas and/or green spaces and promote a walkable environment. The purpose of Anchor Projects is stated in the proposed zoning text as follows: The center districts (e.g. ATC, FC. SHC, MHC, and SPC) typically contain a unique blend of business and complementary residential land uses. The center districts also have access to existing municipal water supply and sewage collection and treatment facilities, and a dependable road network capable of supporting high volume uses and densities. Within the center districts an Anchor Project can serve as a catalyst for increased investment on adjoining and nearby properties that may be underutilized or blighted, especially along and near the major roads serving the area.

90 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 9 An Anchor Project contributes to the economic development of the neighborhood and greater community by adding goods, services, and housing. An Anchor Project includes provisions for plazas and/or green spaces, a walkable environment, thus supporting the economic development goals of the Town Plan. Anchor Projects are consistent with the goals of the ATC District. Anchor Projects allow development at a higher residential density than the ATC in order to invigorate and catalyze development along and near the Raymond Avenue corridor. Anchor Projects promote development that places a critical mass of new residents in close proximity to existing and future commercial uses thereby promoting pedestrian activity. Anchor Projects encourage shared parking and require landscaping to reduce the visual impact of large surface parking areas. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment is consistent with the purposes of the ATC District as it introduces a mixed development that includes open areas and attractive architecture thereby enhancing community identity and public interaction while contributing to the economic development of the Arlington Town Center neighborhood. Allowable Uses As shown in Table 3, Anchor Projects would allow residential, commercial, institutional, and mixed uses similar to those currently allowed under existing zoning in the ATC District. The proposed Anchor Project amendment will allow as of right some new uses and uses that are currently allowed by special permit only under existing zoning. In addition, some requirements of permitted uses would be modified. Finally, not all of the permitted uses allowed in the ATC District would be allowed in an Anchor Project use. The new uses that would be allowed as of right or by special permit in an Anchor Project are presented below.

93 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 11 Table 3: Zoning Comparison Table Purpose Permitted Uses 1 Arlington Town Center (ATC) Zoning District The ATC district recognizes the Arlington area as a unique blend of residential and business land uses in close proximity to Vassar College. Land uses include established single family, two family, and multifamily development in close proximity to neighborhood scale service and retail businesses within the Arlington area. An appropriate mixture of land uses is permitted; nonresidential uses that complement residential uses are encouraged. In addition, this district serves the following specific purposes: (1) Promote a mix of commercial and residential uses. (2) Promote the prominent positioning of civic buildings and central green spaces in order to enhance community identity and public interaction. (3) Promote pedestrian activity through a safe and walkable environment. (4) Minimize the visual impact of the automobile by managing the placement and screening/landscaping of parking areas. (5) Create an interconnected street system for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. (6) Encourage the development of both on street parking and shared parking areas between nearby uses. (7) Protect important natural and historic features. (8) Encourage the redevelopment and reuse of existing structures. Permitted Uses: Anchor Projects 2,3, Art galleries, Bank and financial services, Bakeries, Bed and breakfasts, Boutiques, Delicatessens, Dwellings (two family), Dwellings (single family), Family day care homes, Laundries, Laundromats, Libraries, Museums, Offices, Personal service businesses (no drive in or drive through), Places of religious worship, Retail business (no drive in or drive through), Service business (no drive in or drive through), Restaurants (no drive in or drive through), Supermarkets, Theaters Special Permitted Uses: Accessory apartment within a single family dwelling; Adaptive reuse of existing residential structure for nonresidential use; Bed and Breakfast, Clinics, Day care, nursery school, school age child care facilities, Funeral home, Home occupations, Hotel and motel, Inn, Multifamily dwellings, new construction, and mixed residential and nonresidential uses within multistory structures as part of a unified development on a single lot, Motor vehicle accessory sales Accessory Uses: Accessory buildings and structures, Outdoor restaurant dining areas, Swimming pool, Temporary Buildings for construction purposes; Sidewalk seating and tables for patrons Proposed Anchor Project Use The center districts (e.g. ATC, FC. SHC, MHC, and SPC) typically contain a unique blend of business and complementary residential land uses. The center districts also have access to existing municipal water supply and sewage collection and treatment facilities, and a dependable road network capable of supporting high volume uses and densities. Within the center districts an Anchor Project can serve as a catalyst for increased investment on adjoining and nearby properties that may be underutilized or blighted, especially along and near the major roads serving the area. An Anchor Project contributes to the economic development of the neighborhood and greater community by adding goods, services, and housing and includes provisions for plazas and/or green spaces, a walkable environment, thus supporting the economic development goals of the Town Plan. Additional or Modified Permitted Uses: Cabaret/nightclub, Health and fitness club, Day care 4, Hotel and motel 5, Indoor recreation, Inns 6, Multi family dwellings within multi story structures, and mixed residential and non residential uses within multi story structures Deleted Permitted Uses: Dwellings (two family), Dwellings (single family) Additional or Modified Special Permitted Uses: None Additional or Modified Accessory Uses: Facilities for outdoor recreation, Outdoor restaurant dining facilities 7 The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

95 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 13 Density, Bulk and Dimensional Requirements Anchor Projects would require a minimum lot size of 5 acres compared to the minimum lot size in the ATC District, which is 5,000 square feet. The larger lot size is needed to allow for the type of transformative projects that will encourage economic development along and near the Raymond Avenue corridor. Anchor Projects would be allowed to have an 80% lot coverage and no front or rear yard, while the existing zoning of the ATC allows 60% lot coverage and a minimum of a 5 foot front yard and 20 foot rear yard. An Anchor Project would be required to provide a 300 foot lot width and 300 feet of lot frontage. The dimensional modifications are reasonable to allow for design flexibility in projects that meet the purpose of Anchor Projects. Anchor Projects would decrease the maximum permitted impervious coverage from 95% allowed in the ATC District to 90%. Adding residences, goods, and services within a walkable community environment is critical to the purpose of Anchor Projects; therefore, the maximum permitted residential density allowed is 35 dwelling units per acre. For purposes of density calculation, each room in a hotel, motel, bed and breakfast or inn counts as one tenth of a dwelling unit. Under existing zoning, the ATC District allows a maximum residential dwelling unit density of six dwelling units per acre, but eight units per acre may be constructed subject to special permit approval by the Planning Board. However, residential dwelling units located immediately above a ground floor, second floor, or third floor nonresidential are not counted against the maximum residential dwelling unit density, provided the building meets applicable coverage and open space requirements, sufficient parking for the residential uses is provided, and open space is set aside for the dwelling units as provided herein. Table 4 presents a typical mixed residential and commercial development scenario that would be allowed under the current ATC zoning, which would yield approximately 71 dwelling units, or 126 new residents as compared to the 168 dwelling units, or 313 new residents proposed as part of the Anchor May School Property Redevelopment. Consistent with ATC District regulations, no single retail use in an Anchor Project may occupy ground floor space in excess of 8,000 square feet. The continuous ground level frontage of a single commercial use building in excess of 40 feet in length along any frontage exposed to a street, public space or parking area and ground level commercial uses larger than 4,000 square feet should be contained in a mixed use. The maximum permitted height would be 105 feet or seven stories. The greater height allowance is needed to allow for the type of transformative projects that will encourage economic development in the Town of Poughkeepsie, and infill development in the Arlington Town Center sufficient to allow residential and commercial growth. The neighborhood is currently home to Collegeview Towers, a nine story residential building; therefore, seven stories is not out of character. The ATC District allows a maximum permitted height of 45 feet or three stories, and up to 75 feet or five stories by special use permit. The design guidelines for Anchor Projects are consistent with those of the ATC Zoning District. The Planning Board may waive the design guidelines where it determines that doing so results in a better and more functional layout, or physical design.

Residential density shall not exceed six dwelling units per acre. Notwithstanding, a residential density of up to eight units per acre may be constructed subject to special permit approval by the Planning Board. In addition, residential dwelling units located immediately above a ground floor, second floor, or third floor nonresidential use shall not be counted against the maximum residential dwelling unit density, provided the building meets applicable coverage and open space requirements, sufficient parking for the residential uses is provided, and open space is set aside for the dwelling units as provided herein. 2 Each hotel unit counts as 1/10 th of a dwelling unit for the purposes of the overall residential density calculation. Therefore, for density purposes, the total dwelling units proposed is 179. This incremental increase does not impact the parking as parking for hotels is stipulated separately from residential dwelling units. Parking The minimum required off street parking spaces for Anchor Projects would be as follows: Table 5: Minimum Required Off Street Parking Spaces Anchor Projects Use Minimum Required Off Street Parking Spaces Hotel rooms 1.0 space/hotel room Studios 1.0 space/bedroom All other residential dwellings 0.75 space/bedroom All other non residential uses 2.0 spaces/1,000 square feet of floor area In addition, cumulative parking requirements for Anchor Projects may be reduced by the Planning Board where it can be determined that the peak requirements of the several occupancies occur at different times. If a lower parking total is approved by the Planning Board, no change in any use will thereafter be permitted without further evidence that the parking will remain adequate in the future. The Planning Board may approve off site parking within 500 feet of an Anchor Project where it is demonstrated to the Board s satisfaction that such spaces can be made permanently available to uses in the Anchor Project and that safe pedestrian access to the Anchor Project is provided.

97 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 15 Certain allowed uses in an Anchor Project have supplemental regulations that would be superceded by the minimum required off street parking spaces stipulated in of the proposed text amendment. These uses are as follows: Day care, nursery school, school age child care facilities establishes the following parking requirements for day care, nursery school, school age child care facilities: o Provide adequate parking facilities for the day care center or nursery school, at least one space for every nonresident employee, plus one for every ten children, and provide an off street pickup and dropoff area either on the driveway or an approved parking area. The parking requirements for Anchor Projects are regulated according to , which for places of worship, categorized as all other uses in , will require two spaces per 1,000 SF of floor area contained within day care, nursery school, school age child care facilities. Inns (H) establishes the following parking requirements for inns. o Overnight accommodations: not less than one parking space per guest room. o Restaurant: not less than one parking space for each three seats, or one for each 75 square feet of gross floor area, whichever is greater. o Conference facility: not less than one parking space for each 75 square feet of gross floor area. o Employees: not less than one parking space for every three employees. The parking requirements for Anchor Projects are regulated according to , which for inns, categorized as all other uses in , will require two spaces per 1,000 SF of floor area contained within an Inn. Currently, the ATC District requires that the number of off street parking spaces provided shall be the minimum necessary to adequately serve the intended use. The Planning Board may approve the joint use of a parking facility and allow a reduction in the parking requirement of up to 50% for two or more principal buildings or uses, either on the same, adjacent, or nearby parcels, where it is clearly demonstrated that the reduction in spaces and shared use of the parking facility will substantially meet the intent of the parking requirements by reason of variation in time of use by patrons or employees among such establishments (offset peak parking demand). There shall be a covenant on the separate parcel or lot guaranteeing the maintenance of the required off street parking facilities during the existence of the principal use. Shared parking is encouraged for Anchor Projects. Parking in the ATC District is planned so as to provide the minimum required thereby reducing the prominence of large parking areas. The Anchor Project amendment takes a similar approach to the provision of parking, and supersedes supplemental regulations affecting certain uses and implements detailed parking design requirements to affect a more attractive parking landscape. As presented in Table 6, the required parking for a typical development under the existing ATC Zoning District would be approximately 136 parking spaces. The required parking for the proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment is 320 parking spaces. The proposed project features 279 parking spaces, which includes shared parking. The shared parking is justified for this development because the peak period for use of retail and residential differs; therefore, approximately 41 spaces will be shared.

The Plan, Section III, Centers and Greenspace, describes the Raymond Avenue area between Vassar College and Main Street as the, historic heart of Poughkeepsie s Town Center, by far the best place in Town to reinforce a walkable neighborhood and main street business district, integrated with the college and featuring smaller scale shops, restaurants with outdoor dining, and into the evening activities. 5 A discussion of Arlington Town Center states that the Arlington core has little or no room to grow, which is described as necessary to maintain a stronger base of commercial and residential diversity. 6 As a solution, the Plan recommends infill development, that is compatible with the existing neighborhood, but also provides a more diverse and energetic commercial core with opportunities for new buildings and businesses. 7 The revitalization efforts are also aimed at the articulation of Raymond Avenue as a pedestrian and bicycle 5 Poughkeepsie Town Plan, September 26, 2007, page Poughkeepsie Town Plan, September 26, 2007, page Poughkeepsie Town Plan, September 26, 2007, page 62.

Shared parking is discussed as coordinated parking and is suggested to reduce autodominated landscape. 8 The proposed Anchor Project text amendment is consistent with the Plan. Anchor Projects will facilitate economic transformation through infill development that will result in a diverse and energetic commercial core with opportunities for new businesses in the area. The amendment allows Anchor Projects, which are defined as a mix of uses identified in , including but not limited to residential, institutional, and commercial uses. The proposed Anchor Project zoning amendment would enable mixed use redevelopment at a higher residential density, with a focus on business uses typical of centers such as those found along Raymond Avenue in the Arlington area. The higher residential density addresses the changing demand for more rental homes for a range of household types and age groups. The success of infill development in an existing business area depends on a critical mass of residents frequenting existing and new stores, services and eateries. Furthermore, the uses, bulk and dimensional requirements, parking requirements, and design guidelines for Anchor Projects are consistent with those of the ATC Zoning District. Both the ATC district and the proposed Anchor Project use focus on walkability, including pedestrianoriented design. The intent is to create redevelopment with more pedestrian spaces, bringing more pedestrian activity to create a more vibrant, inviting neighborhood. As the core area near an Anchor Project becomes more attractive, residents and employees from surrounding neighborhoods will be more likely to shop and dine in and near Arlington s Raymond Avenue corridor. A desired secondary effect would be that nearby properties will be enhanced or expanded. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment will be a transformative project that will assist in bringing a critical mass of commercial and residential uses to the area. As such, the project will encourage economic development in the Town of Poughkeepsie. Therefore, the proposed Anchor Project text amendment and the proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment are consistent with the Town s Plan. Arlington District: A Vision for Revitalization, 2000 In 1999, Project for Public Spaces was hired by the Arlington Revitalization Committee (a committee formed by the business community, Vassar College, the Town, Dutchess County, and area residents) to study the area s potential to become a vibrant town center, an asset for Vassar College, and a community place, which culminated in the Arlington District: A Vision for Revitalization report (Report). 9 In regard to the project site, the report recommended that the lawn in front of the former school (which was still in operation at the time this report was written) presented an opportunity to create a town green or square for public activities, which would be surrounded by major institutions. 10 Despite this recommendation, the Arlington Central School District closed the school in 2014, and offered the site for sale in The Applicant is the Contract Vendee.

100 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 18 recommendations on how development may be undertaken in the area, several of which pertain to the project site. On retail and institutional development, the Report notes that the area does not offer a wide enough variety of shops or nighttime uses, and that despite the high population density in and near Arlington, the business district does not get its normative share of local spending. 11,12 The Report recommends that additional development and conversion of Raymond Avenue spaces to retail uses should be pursued to create the needed critical mass for the development of a specialty shopping district. 13 In 2000, the Report noted that the area presented approximately 50,000 square feet of retail space while a specialty shopping district requires a minimum of 100,000 square feet. The Report states that, such businesses should not be allowed to generate traffic, noise, smells, or other infringements on the quality of life of blocks that are ultimately residential in character. 14 The Report recommends the creation of shared parking areas in high use areas to reduce unsightly parking lots in important retail areas, and notes that common reactions to the appearance of the area indicate that it is dilapidated and disheveled. 15,16 Several other recommendations in the Report have since been realized, including the creation of the Arlington Town Center (ATC) Zoning District, the founding of the Arlington Business Improvement District, and New York State Department of Transportation design improvements to Raymond Avenue to enhance the pedestrian character. This proposed amendment will allow Anchor Projects that can serve as a catalyst for increased investment in the Arlington Town Center. An Anchor Project contributes to the economic development of the neighborhood and greater community by adding goods, services, and higher density residential development within a walkable community environment thus supporting the goals of the Report. Hudson River Valley Compact Greenway Community In 2000, the Town of Poughkeepsie adopted the statement of land use policies, principles and guides entitled "Greenway Connections: Greenway Compact Program and Guides for Dutchess County Communities," by which action the Town of Poughkeepsie became a participating community Greenway Compact (the Compact). The Priority Growth Areas Greenway Guide discusses strengthening centers by focusing development in growth areas through infill development located in or around existing centers. The proposed amendment will allow Anchor Projects that can serve as a catalyst for increased investment in the Arlington Town Center, thereby strengthening the area consistent with Compact Greenway Guide. Through redevelopment of the former Arthur May Elementary School the Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would be consistent with the Priority Growth Areas Greenway Guide that states, Gaps in the streetscape, including empty parcels, derelict buildings, and especially oversized parking lots, break the traditional row of storefronts along the main streets and need infill repair, just like a missing tooth in 11 Arlington District: A Vision for Revitalization, Pg Arlington District: A Vision for Revitalization, Pg Arlington District: A Vision for Revitalization, Pg Arlington District: A Vision for Revitalization, Pg Arlington District: A Vision for Revitalization, Pg Arlington District: A Vision for Revitalization, Pg. 26.

The Anchor Project use would create the opportunity to: construct seven new buildings, including two mixed residential and commercial buildings incorporating streetscape improvements with a plaza and allowing views of the new hotel from Raymond Avenue amongst other multifamily buildings. Adding the Anchor Project use to the ATC zoning district thus creates a viable option for redevelopment of this infill site and improving the streetscape ( filling the gap ) along Raymond Avenue. Therefore, the proposed amendment and the proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment will be consistent with the Compact. Poughkeepsie Dutchess County Transportation Council (PDCTC) Arlington Town Center Pedestrian Plan The PDCTC made a presentation on the Arlington Town Center Pedestrian Plan to the Arlington Business Improvement District on September 27, The presentation included three objectives: Improve pedestrian access to the Town Center; Enhance the pedestrian experience in Arlington; and Establish a vision for what the Town Center could look like. To further implement these goals, the PDCTC established a work program that included organizing a pedestrian task force, conducting a sidewalk inventory, reviewing the Town Plan, other plans and zoning, developing a pedestrian plan, and soliciting public input. Several intersections in close vicinity of the proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment development site were identified as key intersections, and recommendations for improving pedestrian, bicycle and transit access, safety, public space, and parking are identified. No improvements were outlined for the project intersection. Anchor Project uses 18 are required to undergo site plan and may undergo special use permit and subdivision review. During these reviews, the Planning Board may apply additional terms and conditions on a project and will review the project to ensure that it will be consistent with the goals for connectivity and the transportation network on a whole. The conceptual plan submitted for review by the Town of Poughkeepsie Town Board and Planning Board includes: redevelopment of the former school building; the construction of two mixed use buildings incorporating streetscape improvements with a plaza allowing views of the new hotel from Raymond Avenue; and extensive pedestrian pathways from Raymond Avenue to the proposed mixed use and multifamily buildings and improvements. The proposed on site pedestrian ways will connect new residents with this part of the Arlington Town Center area; and the proposed streetscape improvements and plaza will enhance the pedestrian amenities available to residents and businesses located along this part of Raymond Avenue. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment will undergo further site plan review during which access and connectivity with the adjoining streets and parcels will ensure that current goals and standards; and proposed zoning design guidelines will be met. For these reasons, the proposed amendment and the proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment are consistent with the PDCTC Plan.

102 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 20 As indicated in the Full Environmental Assessment Form, the project site is located within a community with an approved Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP). The Town of Poughkeepsie adopted an LWRP in 1999, which is a planning document and implementation plan prepared by a community to provide direction with regard to future development within the waterfront area and upland areas near to the waterfront as defined by a coastal zone boundary. The project site is not located within the Town of Poughkeepsie Coastal Zone Boundary. Therefore, the objectives of the LWRP do not apply to the project and consistency with these objectives is not required. 3.0 COMMUNITY SERVICES 3.1 Recreational Resources The project site was formerly a school, and contains an athletic field and playground. The Dutchess Rail Trail and several Town of Poughkeepsie facilities (Carriage Hill Park, Crestwood Park, Overocker Park, and Red Oaks Mill Park) are located within a mile. Within two miles of the site are the following Hudson River shoreline recreational and cultural amenities: the Walkway Over the Hudson, a New York State Historic Park; City waterfront parks (Waryas and Upper Landing parks); and the Mid Hudson s Children s museum. The waterfront area, adjacent to the Poughkeepsie train station, would be accessible with a brief transit ride. The privately owned Vassar Golf Course and Vassar Farm and Ecological Preserve are also located nearby. The proposed amendment would allow Anchor Projects including, but not limited to a mix of residential, commercial and institutional uses. As indicated above, ample recreational resources exist for new residents, workers, and visitors associated with the development of an Anchor Project. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment will include 168+/ apartments (approximately 313 new residents), 86,592 +/ square feet of commercial space (including a 110 room hotel) and open area, including an outdoor seating area located between Buildings A and B. A typical development under the existing zoning would result in approximately 71 dwelling units (approximately 126 new residents) and 14,413 square feet of commercial space. As noted above, the proposed on site pedestrian ways will connect new residents who enjoy walking with Arlington Town Center neighborhood areas; and the proposed streetscape improvements and plaza will enhance the pedestrian experience for those frequenting this stretch of Raymond Avenue. It is anticipated that the development offers suitable area for recreation for the additional 187 residents that would result from the proposed development, and that any needs not met will be met by nearby resources, and that any impact to these resources would be negligible. 3.2 Educational Resources The project site is located within the Arlington Central School District. There are eight elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school serving the district. The project site would be served by the Arthur S. May Elementary School located at 601 Dutchess Turnpike, Poughkeepsie, the LaGrange Middle School located at 110 Stringham Road, LaGrangeville, and the Arlington High School located at 1157 Route 55 in LaGrangeville. The School District has a current enrollment of 8,500 students, according to the District s website. The Arlington School District serves most of the Towns of LaGrange, Pleasant Valley, Beekman, and Union Vale, as well as significant portions of the Town of Poughkeepsie and East Fishkill, and small areas within Hyde Park, Wappinger, and Pawling.

Project Site Arlington Town Center (ATC) Zoning District Typical Development Project Site Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Table 7: School Age Children in Public Schools Unit Type # of Units Multiplier for School Age Children in Public Schools* Number of School Age Children Studio One Bedroom Apartments Two Bedroom Apartments Total 15 Studio One Bedroom Apartments Two Bedroom Apartments Total 41 * Rutgers University, Center for Urban Policy Research, Residential Demographic Multipliers, June Thus, the proposed project is expected to add approximately 26 more school age children to the public school system across all grades than a typical development under the existing zoning which would add 15 school age children. This increment is not considered significant based on a total enrollment of 8,500 students. 3.3 Library Resources The Poughkeepsie Public Library District encompasses the Town and City of Poughkeepsie. There are two libraries in the district: Adriance Memorial Library 93 Market Street, City of Poughkeepsie Boardman Road Branch Library 141 Boardman Road, Town of Poughkeepsie Construction of the new Boardman Road Branch was completed in 2015, and replaced the Arlington Branch on Haight Avenue. 19 Each hotel unit counts as 1/10 th of a dwelling unit for the purposes of the overall residential density calculation. Therefore, for density purposes, the total dwelling units proposed is 179. This incremental increase does not impact the calculation of schoolchildren as hotel units are temporary domiciles.

104 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 22 A free Poughkeepsie Public Library District card is available to all people who live, work, own property, or attend school in the City or Town. Cardholders may borrow materials from either district library or from any other library within the Mid Hudson Library System, which serves Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Putnam, and Ulster counties. As indicated above, it is anticipated that ample library resources exist for the approximately 187 additional residents that would result from the proposed development. 3.4 Day Care Centers There are numerous private day care operators within the Town, including 59 establishments identified by NAICS code Child Day Care Services. The largest operators include Mid Hudson Regional Hospital and the Child Care Council of Dutchess and Putnam. The proposed amendment would allow Anchor Projects including, but not limited to a mix of residential, commercial and institutional uses, including day care centers. As indicated above, day care resources exist for new residents and workers associated with the development of an Anchor Project. The development is not currently proposed to include day care centers. However, it is anticipated that existing establishments would be able to serve potential day care populations. 3.5 Transit Facilities The Poughkeepsie train station located at 41 Main Street, City of Poughkeepsie, is served by both Amtrak and Metro North. Amtrak provides regular train service to Poughkeepsie through the following routes: Ethan Allen Express service between New York City and Rutland, Vermont Lake Shore Limited service between New York City and Chicago Empire Service service between New York City and Albany/Buffalo Maple Leaf service between New York City and Toronto Adirondack service between New York City and Montreal Poughkeepsie is the northern terminus of the Hudson Line of the Metro North commuter railroad, providing service to Grand Central Station in New York City. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment would have access to the City of Poughkeepsie Main Street and Shopper s Special Bus Routes, which travel along Raymond Avenue providing access to and from the site. The Dutchess County Department of Mass Transit operates the Dutchess County LOOP Bus System that provides a variety of bus services throughout Dutchess County, including the L Bus Route that has stops on Raymond Avenue at Fulton and Raymond Avenue at Main Street. It is anticipated that the bus routes currently have the capacity to support additional passengers. The proposed amendment would allow Anchor Projects including, but not limited to a mix of residential, commercial and institutional uses. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment will include 168+/ apartments, 86,592 +/ square feet of commercial space (including a 110 room hotel), open area, and 279 parking spaces. It is anticipated that nearby transit resources will suitably address the needs of residents, workers and visitors, and that any impact to these resources would be negligible.

105 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page Emergency and Police Services Police The Town of Poughkeepsie Police Department has jurisdiction over the entire Town. The Town of Poughkeepsie Police Department main station is located at 19 Tucker Drive, Poughkeepsie, NY County and State police do not routinely patrol within the Town. These forces provide assistance when so requested by the Police Department. Arlington Fire District The Arlington Fire District provides fire protection and emergency medical services for the Arlington section of the Town of Poughkeepsie. The project site would be served by Engine Company #1 located at 11 Burnett Boulevard in the Town of Poughkeepsie. The Applicant met with the Arlington Fire District in October 2017 to discuss the project. Suggestions to improve access on the site were proposed. These suggestions will be addressed later in the site planning process, and a connection to Fulton Avenue from the site is being pursued. Ongoing consultation with the Arlington Fire Department will address site water supply to meet fire department fire flow requirements. The proposed amendment would allow Anchor Projects including, but not limited to a mix of residential, commercial and institutional uses. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment will include 168+/ apartments and 86,592 +/ square feet of commercial space (including a 110 room hotel). The incremental increase in demand on emergency and police services from the proposed development pursuant to the proposed zoning text amendment will be approximately 97 dwelling units or 187 residents. The Applicant intends to include a parking space reserved for use by the Police at all times, and has established an access point to the adjoining property owner s parking area (see southwest corner of the project site on site plan) for potential future emergency access. It is anticipated that nearby emergency and police services will have capacity to address the needs of residents, workers and visitors, and that any impact to these resources would be negligible. 4.0 UTILITIES The project site is located in the Poughkeepsie Town wide Water District and Arlington Sewer District.

The Applicant confirmed with the Arlington Sewer District in November 2016 that there is adequate capacity to accommodate the additional demand caused by the proposed project. In addition, the Town of Poughkeepsie Town Wide Water Improvement District in November 2016 confirmed that there is adequate supply of water to serve the proposed project. 5.0 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION The proposed amendment would allow Anchor Projects including, but not limited to a mix of residential, commercial and institutional uses. An upcoming traffic impact study will assess the potential for impacts to the traffic and transportation system from the proposed project, which would include a mixed use development consisting of approximately 168 apartment units, 110 hotel rooms, approximately 18,342 square feet of commercial space, including 6,903 square feet of restaurant space (4,903 square foot highturnover/ sit down restaurant and 2,000 square foot coffee/donut shop). Access for this development will be from the existing driveway opposite Davis Avenue. The upcoming study s scope is anticipated to include, but not be limited to, the following: 5.1 Scope of Study Eleven (11) strategic intersections in vicinity of the site will be studied in the weekday Peak AM and PM Highway Hour as well as the Peak Saturday Hour. A generalized non development specific growth factor will be applied to the Existing volumes to yield the No Build traffic volumes. Trips anticipated to be generated by the proposed mixed use development will be calculated using the latest published standards of the ITE. The Project Generated trips will be assigned to the area roadways based on a review of surrounding roadway network, current traffic patterns and NYSDOT traffic volume data. The assigned Project Generated trips will be added to the No Build traffic volumes to determine the Build traffic volumes. The Existing, No Build and Build traffic volumes will be analyzed with respect to current roadway capacities to determine operating conditions. Lastly, the available accident data from the NYSDOT Accident Location Information System (ALIS) for the most recent three years on Raymond Avenue will be reviewed. 6.0 SOLID WASTE Solid waste generated in Dutchess County is handled by the Dutchess County Resource Recovery Facility (DCRRF) located at 96 Sand Dock Road in the Town of Poughkeepsie. The DCRRF is a waste to energy facility that combusts most of the garbage that is collected in Dutchess County. According to the DCRRF website, the DCRRF has a capacity of processing 164,000 tons of post recycled waste per year and converts waste to energy, which is then sold to Central Hudson Gas & Electric. The facility converts 450 tons of waste into 9.3 megawatts (MW) of renewable power every day, enough to power over 9,000 homes. The facility also recovers 10 to 14 million pounds of ferrous metals from the waste for recycling each year. The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

108 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 26 According to Environmental Engineering by Joseph A. Salvat, 4 th Edition, 1992, solid waste generation is estimated at 4 lbs per capita per day for an apartment use, 1.5 per room for a medium class hotel, 13 lbs per 1,000 SF per day for a retail and service facility, 2 lbs per meal per day for a restaurant use, 1.5 lbs per worker in an office, and 1 lb per person for a cafeteria (used for Clubhouse). The Rutgers University Center for Urban Policy Research Residential Demographic Multipliers, Estimates of the Occupants of New Housing, 2006, estimates 1.66 residents per one bedroom rental unit and 2.51 residents per two bedroom rental unit in New York State. The reference does not provide a rate for a studio apartment; therefore, the rate for a one bedroom apartment is utilized for the studio apartments. Table 9 identifies the number of new residents anticipated under a typical development scenario pursuant to existing zoning, and for the proposed Arthur May School Property Development pursuant to the zoning text amendment. Under existing zoning, the typical development scenario is anticipated to include approximately 71 dwelling units and 14,413 square feet of commercial space (including 4,000 square feet of restaurant space). Therefore, the apartments with 126 residents would be expected to generate 504 lbs per day. The restaurant use 20 providing 814 meals per day is expected to generate 1,628 lbs per day and 10,413 SF of commercial space is expected to generate 135 lbs per day. Therefore, the total solid waste generation would be 2,267 lbs per day or 1.1 tons per day (see Table 10).

Therefore, for a total of 11 meals per day per seat multiplied times 74 seats (80% occupancy of 92 seats) the restaurant use is expected to generate 814 meals per day. The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

109 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page 27 The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment will include 168+/ apartments, 110 hotel rooms, and approximately 18,342 square feet of commercial space, including 6,903 square feet of restaurant space (4,903 square foot high turnover/ sit down restaurant and 2,000 square foot coffee/donut shop). Therefore, the apartments with 313 residents would be expected to generate 1,252 lbs per day. The hotel use with 110 rooms would generate 149 lbs per day. The 6,903 SF of restaurant space 21 providing 1,397 meals per day is expected to generate 2,794 lbs per day and 11,439 SF of commercial space is expected to generate 149 lbs per day. The office portion 22 of the clubhouse is expected to generate 3.75 lbs per day, and the remaining clubhouse area is expected to generate 58 lbs per day; however, banquet type events are anticipated to occur once a week only. Therefore, the total solid waste generation would be 4,422 lbs per day or 2.2 tons per day (see Table 10). The waste generated is assumed to be typical municipal solid waste, as well as recyclable materials. Recycling bins will be available on the site and the practice of recycling materials will be required in order to reduce overall solid waste going to landfills. The development will have designated garbage disposal areas on site for residents to dispose of their household waste and recyclable materials. Separate areas will be designated for commercial uses. Depending on the agreement that is reached with the private waste collection provider(s), the hauler will likely transport the waste/recyclables to the Town Transfer Station from where it will then be transported to the DCRRF. Waste accepted by the DCRRF will likely be transported to the Seneca Meadows landfill in Waterloo, New York. Construction and demolition waste will be sorted so that materials can be salvaged as desired. Materials that are not salvageable will be transported off site. Project demolition and construction generated waste will not be processed on site, and will likely be transported to the following three landfills: High Acres Landfill 425 Perinton Pkwy Fairport, NY Seneca Meadows 1786 Salcman Rd Waterloo, NY Recycle Depot 230 Van Wagner Rd Poughkeepsie, NY Assume 4 meals per day for breakfast (3 hour duration at 45 minutes per meal); assume meals per day for lunch (3 hour duration at 60 minutes per meal); assume 4 meals per day for dinner (6 hour duration at 90 minutes per meal). Therefore, for a total of 11 meals per day per seat multiplied times 127 seats (80% occupancy of 159 seats) the restaurant use is expected to generate 1,397 meals per day. 22 The Development Impact Assessment Handbook, Urban Land Institute, 1994: an office use employs an average of 3 persons per 1,000 SF.

The NYSDEC Spills Incidents Database indicates that several spills have occurred on the project site, identified as Spill ID , , and All three spill cases were closed by NYSDEC (see Attachment B). Spill ID occurred on January 12, 2016 and consisted of unknown petroleum product which affected the soil. This spill case was closed by NYSDEC on January 15, Spill ID occurred on August 6, 2010, and consisted of an unknown quantity of #2 fuel oil as a result of tank test failure, in regard to Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) # This spill case was closed by NYSDEC on September 17, Spill ID occurred on July 31, 2006, and consisted of 10 gallons of transformer oil into the soil as a result of equipment failure. This spill case was closed on July 31, The PBS # record indicates that the site contains two PBS tanks, #1 and #19, for the storage of #2 fuel oil. Tank #1 is The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

The NYSDEC spill information indicates that spill cases are closed when either the records and data submitted indicate that the necessary cleanup and removal actions were completed and no further remedial activities are necessary, or for administrative reasons such as multiple reports of a single spill consolidated into a single spill number. Therefore, these spills are not expected to result in any impacts to future development with the proposed amendment or the Arthur May School Property Redevelopment. 8.0 SOILS, WATER RESOURCES, AND STORMWATER The proposed amendment would allow Anchor Projects including, but not limited to a mix of residential, commercial and institutional uses. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment will include 168+/ apartments, 86,592 +/ square feet of commercial space (including a 110 room hotel), open area, and 279 parking spaces. 8.1 Soils The project site is almost completely developed with buildings, pavement and sidewalks, and lawn/landscaping. Figure 5 shows the soil types that are expected to be present on the project site, and Table 11 provides characteristics of these soil types, according to Dutchess County Soil Survey information available in GIS and the Natural Resource Conservation Service website. SOIL SYMBOL KuA Table 11: Characteristics of Soil Types within Project Area SOIL TYPE Knickerbocker Urban Land complex, nearly level, 0 to 2% slopes Knickerbocker (40%) Urban Land (35%) DRAINAGE somewhat excessively DEPTH TO WATER TABLE (FT) DEPTH TO BEDROCK (INCHES) >6 >60 n/a >2 >10 Ur Urban Land, 0 to 8% slopes well >2 >10 Much of the site consists of Urban land (Ur), described as areas covered by buildings, streets, parking lots and other impervious surfaces which obscure soil identification, so that the actual identification of the soil is not determined for this portion of the site. These areas are considered to be well drained since stormwater drainage from them is controlled. There is existing rock outcropping on the western edge of the site. No blasting is anticipated, but mechanical ripping may be required during site improvement activities. As indicated, soil conditions are expected to be typical for the urban landscape, and no blasting is anticipated. A SWPPP, including an erosion control and sediment plan, has been provided to the Town. Accordingly, no adverse impacts related to soil conditions are anticipated to occur. The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

112 Anchor Project Zoning Text Amendment and Arthur May School Property Redevelopment Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 Page Water Resources The project site does not contain nor does it adjoin any wetlands or waterbodies (see Figure 6). The project site is not located in a designated floodway or floodplain, and is not located over a primary, principal or sole source aquifer. Therefore, no impact to water resources will occur. 8.3 Stormwater The project development will require ground disturbance in excess of one acre; therefore, a SWPPP is being prepared pursuant to NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP ). Stormwater quality will be enhanced through the implementation of temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures, the proposed stormwater management facilities, and other construction phase pollution controls. Porous pavement, infiltration basin(s), and a hydrodynamic separator will be used to manage and treat stormwater runoff generated by the proposed redevelopment. Pre and post development surface runoff rates have been evaluated for the 1, 2, 10, 25, and 100 year 24 hour storm events, and comparison of pre and post development watershed conditions demonstrates that the peak rate of runoff from the project site will not be increased. A SWPPP will be submitted to the Town. With the implementation of the SWPPP, no adverse impacts related to stormwater will occur. 9.0 VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE The proposed amendment would allow Anchor Projects including, but not limited to a mix of residential, commercial and institutional uses. The proposed Arthur May School Property Redevelopment will include 168+/ apartments, 86,592 +/ square feet of commercial space (including a 110 room hotel), open area, and 279 parking spaces. The NYSDEC Environmental Resource Map (Figure 7) indicates that there are known occurrences of endangered, threatened, or rare (ETR) species in the vicinity of the project site. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) reports the potential for Dwarf Wedgemussel, Indiana Bat, and Northern Long eared Bat in the vicinity of the site. The NYSDEC Natural Heritage Program stated in a letter dated August 16, 2017 (Attachment C) that they have no records of rare or state listed animals or plants, or significant natural communities directly on the project site. The letter also stated that about two miles from the project site is a documented maternity roost of Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis, state and federally listed as Endangered). These bats may travel 2.5 miles or more from documented locations. The main impact of concern for bats is the cutting or removal of potential roost trees. The project site, which is developed with the Arthur May School, consists of impervious surface, lawn and fragmented wooded areas. The surrounding area is developed with the intensity of a Town center. Clearing on the site would be restricted to occur between October 1 and March 31 to avoid impacts to Indiana Bat. Therefore, no adverse impacts to ETR species or significant habitat are anticipated HISTORIC AND ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES The proposed amendment would allow Anchor Projects including, but not limited to a mix of residential, commercial and institutional uses.

The Arthur May School (Arthur May School Property Redevelopment site) was built circa In 2010, the Arlington Central School District decided to close the school and it was subsequently listed for sale in In 2011, the Town of Poughkeepsie Historical Commission had a reconnaissance level historic resource survey update performed. The Arthur May School was identified as a historic education building that appeared eligible for designation on the State and National Register of Historic Places. The former school (USN Number: ) was initially found to be ineligible by the NYSOPRHP for designation on the National and State Historic Registers. However, the NYSOPRHP subsequently determined that the building is eligible for designation under Criteria A due to the building s association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history (see Attachment C). To date, the former school building remains eligible for designation, but is not listed on the National or State Register of Historic Places. According to the NYSOPRHP Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS), the site is not considered to be sensitive for archaeological resources. A submittal to NYSOPRHP using the CRIS system will be made. The Chazen Companies August 16, 2017 Revised May 29, 2018

Anchor uses include provisions for plazas and/or green spaces and promote a walkable environment. 2. Amend Section (B) as follows: B. Permitted uses. Permitted uses shall be as follows (Note: "*" designates a use which is subject to site plan approval by the Planning Board): (1) *Anchor Projects, subject to (1)(2) *Art galleries.

Within the center districts an Anchor Project can serve as a catalyst for increased investment on adjoining and nearby properties that may be underutilized or blighted, especially along and near the major roads serving the area. An Anchor Project contributes to the economic development of the neighborhood and greater community by adding goods, services, and housing. An Anchor Project includes provisions for plazas and/or green spaces, a walkable environment, thus supporting the economic development goals of the Town Plan. B. Permitted Uses.

150 Proposed Zoning Amendments Permitting Anchor Projects between such lots and public streets over common internal roadways and driveways to be constructed in accordance with the approved site plan. For purposes of this section, an Anchor Project shall be an open development area in accordance with the Town Law 280-a. 3. The Planning Board may waive the design guidelines in sub-section H below where it determines that doing so results in a better and more functional layout, or physical design or other considerations preclude the strict application of the guidelines, or the Board determines that the application of such guidelines are not relevant to the Anchor Project. Any such waivers shall be in writing and shall explain the Board s rationale for such waiver(s). 4. On a lot, no single retail use shall occupy ground floor space in excess of 8,000 square feet. The continuous ground level frontage of a single commercial use building in excess of 40 feet in length along any frontage exposed to a street, public space or parking area and ground level commercial uses larger than 4,000 square feet shall be contained in a mixed-use structure or be architecturally designed to appear as a streetscape composed of a variety of small buildings that helps to further prevent the visual dominance or appearance of a single, large commercial use. 5.

DRAFT FOR TOWN BOARD REVIEW November 9, 2017

151 Proposed Zoning Amendments Permitting Anchor Projects 4. Unless waived by the Planning Board where two or more different uses occur on a single lot, the total amount of parking to be provided shall be the sum of the requirements for each individual use. 5. Required off-street parking facilities shall be provided on the same lot or premises with the structure or land use they serve, except off-street parking and loading spaces required for structures or land uses on two or more adjacent lots may be provided in a single common facility on one or more of said lots, provided that the total amount of parking and loading facilities shall be the sum of the requirements of each individual use unless waived by the Planning Board. A Reciprocal Easement Agreement (REA) approved by the Planning Board and the Planning Board attorney shall be required to ensure that common use of the parking lot(s), loading area(s), and access aisles and driveways amongst the various uses and lots of the Anchor Project is maintained. 6. Unobstructed access to and from a public street, so designed as to not require the backing of any vehicle across a sidewalk or a traffic lane, shall be provided for all parking and loading spaces. Such access driveway width shall be consistent with the aisle width of the required parking.

Required off-street parking facilities shall be maintained as long as the use or structure which the facilities are designed to serve is in existence. 12. Off-street loading and unloading facilities. Unless waived by the Planning Board all loading and unloading shall take place entirely on the lot. 13. Parking or storage of motor vehicles in the front yard of any property is prohibited, unless where said front yard is crossed by a duly constructed driveway extending through the front yard to a garage, carport, or properly surfaced parking area located beyond the front yard line.

152 Proposed Zoning Amendments Permitting Anchor Projects 14. If the Planning Board finds that compliance with the off-street parking requirements herein would have an adverse impact upon the physical environment or visual character of the area, and if the Board also finds that all of the parking otherwise required as set forth above will not be necessary for the anticipated use of the site, the Planning Board may reduce the amount of parking required to be constructed. The Planning Board may also require that sufficient usable land be set aside to satisfy the parking requirements in the future should the need for such additional parking arise. In such event the Planning Board shall, as a condition of any approval granted, retain the right to require the owner of the property to construct such additional parking whenever the Board determines that that such additional parking is needed. 15. Shared Parking. a. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section (F), cumulative parking requirements for uses in an Anchor Project may be reduced where it can be determined that the peak requirements of the several occupancies occur at different times. The amount of any such reduction shall be at the discretion of the Planning Board based on evidence acceptable to the Planning Board. b. If a lower parking total is approved by the Planning Board, no change in any use shall thereafter be permitted without further evidence that the amount of parking will be adequate for, and if such evidence is not satisfactory, then additional parking shall be provided before a change in use may be authorized. c.

H. Design Guidelines The following guidelines shall be applied during the site plan and subdivision review of any Anchor Project. The Planning Board may use its discretion as to the applicability of these guidelines for all projects. 1.

The establishment of mixed-use, multistory buildings is the preferred form of use. 3. Shrubbery shall be no higher than three feet above existing street grades, nor should any tree with foliage extend below 10 feet above the established street grades. All landscaping (trees, shrubs, planted beds) should be maintained within 20 feet of any street intersection or 10 feet of driveway/street intersections. This restriction is for purposes of maintaining visibility at all times. 4. Parking should be to the side or rear of buildings where practical. 5. Where parking lots and drives abut a landscaped strip along the street right-of-way, evergreen shrubs and/or a three-foot stone wall, as approved by the Planning Board, should be provided for screening. The screening should be a plant species that is a minimum of three feet high and a maximum of six feet high, and extends along the entire street frontage of the parking lot, exclusive of driveways and visibility lines. 6. Sidewalks are to be provided as a design element of all new and redeveloped streets. Street trees should be provided, and all street trees should be tolerant of urban condition, especially salt and sand deposited with snow removal.

154 Proposed Zoning Amendments Permitting Anchor Projects 10. In order to facilitate fewer curb cuts, shared driveways shall be used for access to parking lots behind buildings. The Planning Board shall ensure that appropriate cross easements for use and ingress and egress to shared parking facilities are filed with the County Clerk as part of development plan approval. On-street parking is encouraged, provided the street width is adequate to safely accommodate on-street parking. Service alleys should access practicable, off-street parking spaces for residential uses. Use landscaping, such as hedges, shrubs, or low walls of stone, brick, wood, wrought iron, or an acceptable substitute, to screen parking and create an edge along the sidewalk. 11. Off-street parking lots and loading areas, accessory use structures or storage other than sheds should be screened from walkways and streets utilizing vegetation and/or fencing. 12. Residential rear access lanes should be used for access to garages and parking lots behind buildings. 13. Where there are existing buildings on the street frontage of an Anchor Project, and where deemed desirable by the Planning Board, new or in-fill buildings should be located approximately in line with existing buildings to maintain the integrity of the existing building setback line of the street. 14. Subject to Town Board approval, new public streets should connect to existing streets and use a block system to avoid dead-ends whenever practicable. 15. Restaurants may be permitted to operate outdoor cafes in front of and on public sidewalks as long as at least seven feet between the seating area and the curb are maintained free for sidewalk passage. 16. A retail business may be permitted to have a temporary sidewalk display of store merchandise of up to 25% of its sidewalk frontage. 17. The standards of , Lighting of the Town Code shall apply, and the Planning Board is authorized to waive or modify these standards for an Anchor Project where the Board finds that the public safety, health and welfare would be continue to be protected. 18. Loading and delivery areas may be shared between nearby uses, and shall be determined by the Planning Board on a case-by-case basis. 19. In the event of any inconsistencies between the guidelines contained in and any other provisions of this chapter, the provisions of shall control and shall supersede such inconsistent provisions.

165 Caren LoBrutto Chazen Companies 21 Fox Street Poughkeepsie, NY August 16, 2017 Re: Arthur May Anchor Project County: Dutchess Town/City: Poughkeepsie Dear Caren LoBrutto: In response to your recent request, we have reviewed the New York Natural Heritage Program database with respect to the above project. We have no records of rare or state-listed animals or plants, or significant natural communities directly on the project site. About two miles from the project site is a documented maternity roost of Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis, state and federally listed as Endangered). These bats may travel 2.5 miles or more from documented locations. The main impact of concern for bats is the cutting or removal of potential roost trees. For information about any permit considerations for your project, contact the Permits staff at the NYSDEC Region 3 Office at dep.r3@dec.ny.gov, (845) For information about potential impacts of your project on this species and how to avoid, minimize, or mitigate any impacts, contact the Region 3 Wildlife staff at Wildlife.R3@dec.ny.gov, (845) For most sites, comprehensive field surveys have not been conducted. We cannot provide a definitive statement on the presence or absence of all rare or state-listed species or significant natural communities. Depending on the nature of the project and the conditions at the project site, further information from on-site surveys or other resources may be required to fully assess impacts on biological resources. For information regarding other permits that may be required under state law for regulated areas or activities (e.g., regulated wetlands), please contact the Permits staff at the NYSDEC Region 3 Office as described above. Sincerely, 999 Colleen Lutz Assistant Biologist New York Natural Heritage Program
