    3.1 Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy 3.1 LAND USE, ZONING AND PUBLIC POLICY This section sets forth an examination of the existing land uses, zoning and public policies within the quarter‐mile study area surrounding and including the Project Site located at 60 South Broadway (Tax Assessment Map Section 125.84, Block 3, Lot 1). Under analysis are the potential impacts that could occur in connection with the Proposed Rezoning of the Project Site from the B‐6 (Enclosed Mall) District to the CB‐3 (Core Business District), which will facilitate the creation of new residential, hotel and office development, along with additional height and bulk allowances. Finally, any necessary measures needed to mitigate potential adverse impacts are set forth. 3.1.1 Existing Conditions 3.1.1.1 Land Use Project Site The Project Site is located at 60 South Broadway, White Plains, New York. According to the City’s Tax Assessment Map, the Project Site is identified as Section 125.84, Block 3, Lot 1. The site is currently occupied by the Westchester Pavilion, a 185,000 square foot vertical enclosed shopping center, and The Westchester, an approximately 820,000 square foot regional mall. Abutting these structures and occupying the eastern portion of the property is a multi‐level parking structure. At this time, there is 156,949 square feet of vacant commercial space in the Westchester Pavilion. This amount of vacant space has been accruing since 2009, when the 41,840 square foot space occupied by Border’s Books became vacant. Since this time, an additional three spaces became vacant: the 25,259 square foot space formerly occupied by Daffy’s; the 46,850 square foot space formerly occupied by Toys‐R‐Us; and the 43,000 square foot space formerly occupied by Sports Authority.
