    New York State Departments of State and Environmental Conservation Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program Mount Vernon East Metro North Train Station Area Step 1 Pre-Nomination Study September 2010 City of Mount Vernon, NY Department of Planning and Community Development Pre-nomination Summary Page In the place of a pre-nomination study, we are presenting a community profile, several maps detailing the conditions of the area, and a previous study, released in March 2009, titled Mount Vernon, Action Plan. The action plan study, based on several previous studies in addition to new research, illustrates possibilities for future revitalization of the downtown central business district. The Plan has identified three key issues: 1. Employment Generators 2. Building Restoration & Adaptive Re-use 3. Sustainable Practices T he plan describes manageable changes and new directions that can promote short-term, mid-term, and long-term achievements. In addition, future possibilities to implement and fund the proposals were outlined. Over the past ten years, there have been several studies and proposals to improve Mount Vernon’s central downtown business district. Studying Mount Vernon has been appealing because of the potential of building stock, location, utilities, and transportation infrastructure that are already in place. Small and big proposals have been made to rejuvenate the socioeconomic conditions of the city. Mount Vernon has been involved in the New York State Empire Zone Program, the city has received Community Development Block Grants, and has been active in developing new multi-family residential spaces in the community. Mount Vernon’s City Planning Board has been vital in promoting the Residential Rehabilitation Program, and securing Section 8 funding for the community.

    Streetsblog.org Department of City Planning Continues to Restrict Development Near Transit by Noah Kazis on July 6, 2011 The Department of City Planning’s commitment to rezoning the city along more transit-oriented lines is a critical component of its sustainability agenda. Allowing more people to live and work next to transit means more people will ride transit and fewer will drive. Under Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Planning Commissioner Amanda Burden, upzonings have indeed been concentrated near transit. But what the administration gives with one hand, it takes with the other. Over the last decade, the Department of City Planning has also downzoned large swaths of transit-accessible land, preventing further development in these locations. Indeed, under one representative five-year period of Bloomberg and Burden’s city planning, three- quarters of the lots rezoned for greater density were located within a half-mile of rail transit, but so were two-thirds of the lots where development was further restricted, according to research by NYU’s Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy. The pattern still holds. In fact, some of DCP’s most recent rezonings are restricting development on blocks literally around the corner from a subway stop. Though the 2 train runs up White Plains Road, the Department of City Planning has proposed downzoning Take the Williamsbridge/Baychester rezoning in all the areas bounded by yellow on either side of the street. Image: NYC DCP the Bronx, which the City Planning Commission certified last month. There, an elevated train, the 2, runs up White Plains Avenue.
