MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council THRU: Charles B. Strome, III, City Manager FROM: Luiz Aragon, Development Commissioner DATE: July 10, 2018 SUBJECT: PROPOSED LEGISLATION APPROVING 2018 HUD ANNUAL PLAN AND BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR CDBG AND HOME FUNDS Resolution authorizing submission of 2018 CDBG and HOME Annual Action Plan to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and to amend Ordinance No. 255 of 2017, the Budget of the City of New Rochelle for 2018 to reflect actual funding allocation from HUD for the CDBG and HOME programs.

Background: On May 1, 2018, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the City’s actual allocations for fiscal year 2018 for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME). Funding allocations for 2018 reflects funding increases in both the CDBG and HOME programs. The budgets adopted by the City were based on estimates that were derived by prior year actuals.

Issue: Now that we have received the actual CDBG and HOME obligations from HUD, the City’s 2018 budget must be amended. Attached, please find revised budgets with specific changes requested in 2018.

A high level comparison of the anticipated budgets versus the actual allocations is listed below:

Description Anticipated 2018 Actual 2018 Variance Budget Allocation CDBG $1,295,836 $1,441,229 $145,293 HOME $ 304,806 $ 417,212 $112,406

In addition to amending the City of New Rochelle’s FY 2018 adopted budget, it is the requirement of HUD that the City submit an Annual Action Plan. The Action Plan identifies the activities to be funded with CDBG and HOME funds during the 2018 program year.

As required by HUD, it is necessary to schedule a thirty (30) day public comment period that will extend from June 13, 2018 to July 13, 2018. Recommendation:

MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council THRU: Charles B.

City of New Rochelle Development

MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council THRU: Charles B. Strome, III, City Manager FROM: Luiz Aragon, Development Commissioner DATE: July 10, 2018 SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ZONING CODE, CHAPTER 331 - SCHEDULE OF OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING SPACE REQUIREMENTS Proposed legislation to amend the Zoning Code, Chapter 331, as it pertains to parking and loading requirements for undersized parcels. (Public Hearing July 10, 2018)

Introduction:

All private property land uses are subject to minimum parking and loading space requirements. These requirements vary depending on the scale of a use. However, smaller parcels and buildings that were built prior to the proliferation of automobiles, provide an urban form that does not support on-site parking. Applying traditional zoning parameters that require on-site parking creates several problems for existing development patterns, particularly in our downtown as discussed below.

Review:

The City’s downtown includes a number of parcels that were designed in a manner that did not consider automobiles. The resulting urban form is one that is pedestrian and business friendly, and promoted through the City’s form based code. As automobiles began to proliferate, the users of these parcels relied on on-street parking, and municipal parking facilities to satisfy their parking needs.

While many parcels and their users are grand-fathered, and protected from the current requirements for off-street parking, problems arise if a use becomes vacant and/or abandoned (with either a vacant commercial space, or a completely vacant parcel). In order to occupy these areas, the site must not provide a use and/or square footage that exceeds what previously existed. If it does, it would either need to construct on-site parking, or seek a variance. From a design perspective, providing on-site parking is simply problematic. Further, it would destroy the urban fabric the City is trying to protect and promote. Perhaps most concerning is the impact this causes on the commercial real estate market. The code limits a property owner’s ability to fill space, which contributes to the existence of vacant storefronts, or uses occupying spaces that not do not meet a site’s full potential.

Packet Pg. 12 3

Recognizing this, many communities across the country have taken measures to eliminate parking requirements that are detrimental to commercial areas. In some cases, this means completely eliminating parking requirements. In others, communities have eliminated requirements for only commercial uses. Some communities have eliminated parking requirements for smaller businesses. Given the City’s need to balance our urban/suburban reality, it is recommended that a code amendment be adopted that would take the latter, more conservative approach, with an additional caveat. As shown in the accompanying code amendment, it is recommended that the city eliminate parking and loading space requirements for existing commercial spaces with less than 2,000 square feet of gross floor area, and an occupancy that does not exceed 49 people. Further, no additional parking shall be required for outdoor dining where it is otherwise compliant with the area and occupancy standards noted above.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that Council set a public hearing on the proposed amendment and refer same to the Planning Board and Westchester County Planning Board. It is also recommended that the City Council declare itself Lead Agency for the purposes of an environmental review pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). The Short Environmental Assessment Form (SEAF) is attached.

Staff recommends that the Council approve this amendment pending the outcome of the public hearing and responses from the City’s Planning Board, and the Westchester County Planning Board.

MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council THRU: Charles B. Strome, III, City Manager FROM: Luiz Aragon, Development Commissioner DATE: July 10, 2018 SUBJECT: PROPOSED RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF 2018 NYS CONSOLIDATED FUNDING (CFA) GRANT APPLICATION Proposed resolution in support of submission of 2018 NYS CFA grant application for Lincoln-North Complete Streets – Phase III through the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Climate Smart Communities Program

Background The NYS Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process was announced in early May. Again, this year, the City Council is requested to authorize the City Manager to submit applications to the 2018 NYS CFA process. The Department of Development staff has been discussing various grant opportunities that could be utilized as a source of funding for projects that would further the City’s goals. The Consolidated Funding Applications are due to the State no later than July 27, 2018. To date, the following project has been determined as eligible for funding through the CFA:

· Lincoln-North Complete Streets - Phase III - The City is in receipt of two previous grants regarding its Complete Streets program totaling $4.5 million. Phase I of these funds are being used to design and construct the City’s Quaker Ridge Road Diet. Phase II funds are providing partial funding to complete Quaker Ridge and will be used to begin planning/designing Complete Streets on North Avenue. Phase III funding will allow the City to implement its design on North and Lincoln Avenues.

Recommendation: To meet the States requirement to identify the specific program and funding agency, the Department of Development recommends that the City Council pass a resolution supporting the grant submission through the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Climate Smart Communities Program. A City Council Resolution in support of the application suggests a unified approach to seeking funding through NYS and other funding agencies/sources.

City of New Rochelle Development

MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council THRU: Charles B. Strome, III, City Manager FROM: Luiz Aragon, Development Commissioner DATE: July 10, 2018 SUBJECT: PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR SUBMISSION OF 2018 TAP/CMAQ GRANT AND INTENT TO PROVIDE MATCHING FUNDS Proposed resolution in support of submission of 2018 TAP/CMAQ grant application and intent to provide 20% matching funds for Lincoln Ave Corridor

Introduction In 2016, the City of New Rochelle received TAP-CMAQ funds for the Quaker Ridge Road Diet in the amount of $3.5 million. The City has just engaged Barton & Loguidice on the pre- engineering and design of this roadway and will begin designing the complete street project in the fall. To continue this momentum, the City applied for funds through the 2017 NYS Consolidated Funding program for a complete streets project on North Avenue between Quaker Ridge and Eastchester Roads and was also awarded $804K for that corridor.

Currently, the City of New Rochelle is applying for another round of funding through the TAP- CMAQ program to transform the Lincoln Avenue corridor (between North Avenue and Webster Avenue) into a complete street that includes new and relocated crosswalks and bus stops, bike sharrows, and roadway modifications at specific intersections (extended merge distances and right-in/right-out driveways). Consistent with the City’s adopted Complete Streets Policy, the proposed project would improve visibility and safety along the corridor for all ages and modes of transportation and enhance pedestrian connections to parks and other community facilities along the corridor. The estimated budget for these improvements is approximately $1.1 million with a 20% required match of funds by the City of New Rochelle. This amount is estimated at $220K based on the total project costs.

Recommendation: It is recommended by the Department of Development staff that the City adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute and support this application and also its intent to provide the 20% match if the City’s application is awarded funding.

City of New Rochelle Development

Introduction:

There are thirteen Neighborhood Business districts in the City of New Rochelle. Some of these are more urbanized than others, and review of these areas are warranted to better fit the existing conditions and future needs for the community. Further, as discussed below, an area has been identified that fits the character of a neighborhood business district, but is zoned residential. Recommendations on these areas are noted below.

Review:

As mentioned above, there are thirteen Neighborhood Business districts in the City, which includes a couple in the North End (e.g. Wykagyl), a couple of the south end along Pelham Road, and the remainder falling in between. While those that are within the Downtown Overlay Zone (DOZ) have zoning opportunities to expand and/or redevelop, one of these zones, shown on an accompanying map, is largely outside of the DOZ, but has a very urban character along Main Street. The zone generally covers Main Street from Weyman Avenue to Pintard Avenue, and Drake Avenue from Main Street to Woodbury Street. The existing character of this area on Main Street is inconsistent with the zoning, which restricts buildings to a height of two stories or 30 feet, a floor area ratio of 0.5, and a building coverage of 50-percent.

Additionally, the properties located at the intersection of Webster Avenue and Washington Avenue are all commercially used, but nonconforming as they are residentially zoned. These properties have long been commercial, and have great potential to serve the neighborhood, but are underutilized.

In order to address these issues, it is recommended that a new zone be created to better fit existing conditions, and to promote reinvestment in these areas. A new Neighborhood Business 2.0 district is proposed that will be quite similar to the Neighborhood Business district, except that it will allow height, floor area ratio and coverage that is more appropriate for these areas on

Packet Pg. 31 9

the periphery of the downtown. Draft zoning language, maps, and an environmental assessment form are attached for review.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the Council approve this amendment pending the outcome of the public hearing and responses from the City’s Planning Board, and the Westchester County Planning Board.

City of New Rochelle Development

MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council THRU: Charles B. Strome, III, City Manager FROM: Luiz Aragon, Development Commissioner DATE: July 10, 2018 SUBJECT: PROPOSED RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AWARD OF RFP 5229 FOR USE AND OCCUPANCY OF TRAIN STATION Proposed resolution authorizing award of RFP Spec 5229 and authorize the City Manager to enter into a lease agreement with Cody’s Coffee Shop to occupy the space on the ground and second floors of the Railroad Station pursuant to their proposal submitted in response to RFP #5229 on June 13th, 2018.

Background The Department of Development issued RFP 5229 for the leasing of commercial space on the first and second levels at the New Rochelle Train Station. The space consists of approximately 1,393 square feet combined, formerly occupied by Bluebird Taxi, Pelham One Stop Cleaners and Sheila Small, Esq. The Department of Development proposes to award the lease to a vendor that would use the space as a coffee shop on the first level and co-working space on the second level.

Issue: In response to the RFP, there were four (4) proposals received. Based on a review by the Selection Committee, which consisted of staff from the Department of Development and Finance, the Selection Committee chose the winning proposal as Cody’s Coffee.

Cody’s Coffee aims to be the go-to place for coffee and juice lovers on the go. They are dedicated to serving the highest quality coffee, cold brews, fresh organic juices and tea all within a beautiful atmosphere aimed to inspire creativity within our community. They are highly focused on providing an artfully crafted environment that elevates the commuters overall experience at the station. In a rapidly growing professional community with fewer options that encourage networking for like-minded individuals our location can centralize the population to encourage such gatherings. To achieve this goal, they intend not only to offer remarkable products and service but also to create a state of the art co-working space above Cody’s Coffee to offer commuters a space to get their day started long before they hit the office. We truly believe that re- activating these spaces will enhance the community and give a new face to the New Rochelle Railroad Station.

The proposal outlines their business model and includes a lease term of five (5) years starting on September 1, 2018 with the option to renew. Rental payment would be as follows:

Packet Pg. 50 12

Year 1 $1,600.00 monthly (First six months: September thru December 2018, January & February 2019 gratis to tenant) Year 2 $1,640.00 monthly Year 3 $1,689.20 monthly Year 4 $1,756.77 monthly Year 5 $1,844.61 monthly

In addition to the above, the proposal includes a capital investment of approximately $70,000 to renovate the space which will result in an improved facility for the City.

Recommendation: The Department of Development recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a lease agreement with Cody’s Coffee Shop to occupy the space on the ground and second floors of the Railroad Station pursuant to their proposal submitted in response to RFP #5229 on June 13th, 2018.
