A special permit use is defined as: a particular land use which is permitted in the zoning ordinance or local law. subject to requirements imposed by such zoning ordinance and local law to assure that the proposed use is in harmonv with such zoning ordinance or local law and will not ~ - adversely affect the neighborhood if such requirements are met. (General City Law §27-b(l )).

Freimuth, COMMISSIONER F DEv'ELOPMENT '\r ' ·~G-.,~. DATE: August 28, 2012 SUl3JECT: Miscelhneous Zoning Changes Background: Periodically, changes to the zoning ordinance are proposed by staff when language is found in the ordinance that is incorrect, redundant, contradictory, and unnecessarv or when blatant omissions in the text are identified. Issue: Staff has identified the following section of the Zoning Code where changes are reco=ended: 1) §331-13(C)(4)-Provisions Governing Lots-Delete the word NOT in this section to clarify what is meant by the Code. PROPOSED: §331-13(C)(4) The lot is ft6C shown on a subdivision plat filed in Westchester Counrv Clerk's Office. 2) 331-80.1 E.

The Plan describes the City's strategies for the use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funds. The City is also requned to submit its 2013 funding application for these funds along with the Consolidated Plan. The planning fum of Mullin & Lonergan worked with City staff to prepare these documents. i\dditionallv, an update to the City's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Cboice (Al), last completed in 2008 1 was done at the same time. Summary of the 2013-2017 Consolidated Plan U.S. Census Bureau and HUD data sources were used in the preparation of the document, as well as input from Westchester-Putnam. Board of Realtors' database, municipal departments and several of the Citv's own planrung initiauves including the West End Need!- .4ssessment, infonnation from the Envisio1\!R community meetings, the Greel\TR Sustainability Plan 2010-2030 and the Sustainable Communities Initiative. Public agencies and private non-profit organizations whose missions focus on the provision of affordable housing and human services to low-income persons were invited to participate in a series of focus group sessions held from January 23 through 25, 2012. An on-line "Housing and Community Development Needs Survey" was on the City's website and advertised for public input from February 10 through March 10, 2012. These opportunities were provided for area residents and stakeholders to impact the process in different ways. A sampling of the BUD-required components included in the Consolidated Plan are: • Strategy for addressing the needs of the homeless and special services populations • Specific long-term and short-term community development objectives for decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic oppo:mmir:ies, principally for low-income and moderate-income persons • Housing needs assessment and inventory • Ivfinority and women's business outreach goals Ana~vsis ofImpediments to Fair Housing Choice The Analysis of ImpedimentJ to Fair HouJing Choice (AI) reviewed local regulations and adnunistracive policies, procedures and practices affecting the iocation, availability and accessibility of housing and assessed the conditions, both public and private, that affect fair housing choice. To prepare the Al, the consultant and staff reviewed the City's Zoning Code, Comprehensive Plan and housing and income data and researched the City's disabled and racial demographics to identify groups that may be subject to housing discrimination. Data was also used from the focus group meetings and questionnaires held for the Consolidated Plan, particularly from agencies that serve the special interests of the protected groups. 2013 Acdon Plan The 2013 Action Plan describes the specific activities and goals that the City ";:ill undertake during the first year of the Consolidated Plan cycle. The proposed CDBG and HOlviE budgets contained in the Action Plan are attached for your review. The 2013 CDBG budget is based on an estimated 5% reduction from the 2012 budget for a total of $1,250,417. The 2013 HOlviE budget is also estimated using a 5% reduction from the previous year for a total of $277,662. Issue ll. public hearing was held on.

T.O.E. t!f1 ~ Traffic Engineer Subject: City Code Change - Parking Prohibited at Certain Times Washington Avenue At the request of the City Manager, I evaluated parking regulations and traffic conditions on Washington Avenue to determine if parking could be provided on one side of 12 out of 15 blocks of Washington Avenue at all times. Currently, except between Fifth Street and Fourth Street, parking is prohibited on both sides of Washington Avenue on Mondays between 8:00a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Washington Avenue is approximately 30 feet wide with parking provided on the north side of the street except for Mondays between the hours of 8:00a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and prohibited all times on the south side of the street except for the block from Fifth Street to Third Street. At this location parking is provided during certain hours. The proposed action would allow for parking on one side of Washington Avenue at all times except for a few locations. A figure showing existing on-street parking regulations is attached. Since traffic flow can be accommodated with parking on one side of Washington Avenue I recommend that parking be allowed on one side of the street at all times on 12 out of 15 blocks of the street. This proposed action would change parking regulations on the south side of the street so that parking is provided Mondays from 8:00a.m. to 12:00 p.m except between Third and Fourth Street and opposite the Columbus Elementary School which is located from Fifth Street to Seventh Street. A figure showing this proposed parking regulation change is attached. The foregoing requires the following City Code amendment.

T. O.E;I;ai!._ Traffic Engineer Subject: City Code Change- Parking Prohibited at All Times Glencar Avenue After further review of the City Code. I determined that the legislation adopted May 29. 2012 was not in accordance with the intent of the proposed parking regulations on Glencar Avenue. The adopted legislation states that parking should be prohibited in those locations where parking should be provided. Regulatory parking signage currently provided on Glencar Avenue is in accordance with the intent of the legislation. That is parking is only provided on the east side of Glencar Avenue in front of 10 Glencar Avenue for a length of 160 feet and in front of 65 and 69 Glencar Avenue for a length of 160 feet. Furthermore. I found an error in the City Code which states that parking is prohibited on both sides of Glencar Avenue from Mayflower Avenue to 65 Glencar Avenue. I therefore recommend that the City Code be amended to reflect the intent of the legislation and the regulatory signage currently on Glencar Avenue. The foregoing requires the following City Code amendment. Once in effect. signage indicating the applicable regulations will be posted. §312-83. Schedule XII: Parking Prohibited at All Times.

This project had several unforeseen conditions arise due to the location and size of the new rooftop units with respect to the existing roof conditions. This required the additional work of removal and restoration of a portion of the roof and relocation of gas piping to supply power to the units. This work was unanticipated and was performed at an additional cost of$ 22,240.00. This request is to amend Council Resolution No. 110 by the addition$ 22,240.00 to the award of the contract to Duncan Industries Corporation to a total amount equal to$ 560,255.00. There 'rs sufficient funding in Account CP 10007 to cover the additional cost.

Fronting the Columbus Elementary School, Seventh Street has a horizontal curve and parking is provided on the west side of the street These conditions limit motorist's sight lines ahead. Hence it is safer to reduce the speed limit on Seventh Street in this area. A figure showing the location of the proposed reduced speed limit zone (area crosshatched) is attached.

Finance Comm1s ioner \ ~ Subj: First Half FY 2012 Budget Adjustments Date: August 15. 2012 It is recommended that the 2012 adopted budget be amended tor the following items: 1. CHIPS Funding The adopted New York State budget for FY 2012-13 allocated $960.222 in CHIPS funding to New Rochelle, an increase of $778 from the prior year. Our adopted budget estimated $900,000 for this program; consequently, an appropriation increase of $60,222 is required. 2. Fireworks Donation commitments totaling $78.600 have been received for the Fourth of July Fireworks celebration. A budget appropriation for fireworks expenses including overtime for both July 4'h and a portion of Memorial Day. offset by the anticipated donations. is required. 3. Deferred Retirement Costs The adopted FY 20 I I budget called for tbe deferral of 2011-12 retirement cost increases pursuant to New York State's Employer Contribution Stabilization Program. Botb the FY 2011 and FY 2012 budgets treated tbe deferred portion of retirement costs as an expense offset by the proceeds of the amortized Joan received from the State Retirement System. A subsequent promulgation by the State Comptroller requires that the amounts payable to the Retirement System in each of the ten years of the loan be shown as a reritement expense, not a debt service expense. This is simply a bookkeeping recategorization that has no bottom line impact. Audit adjustments were made for the FY 201 J portion of the deferral; a budget adjustment is needed for tbe FY 2012 portion. 4. Avalon Land Sale Payment The FY 2012 land sale installment payment due from Avalon is shown as revenue in the General Fund. Since the land was originally acquired through the issuance of debt, the City's auditors have advised us that the correct accounting treatment of this payment is to recognize the revenue in the Debt Service Fund and then transfer the proceeds to tbe General Fund. This has no bottom line impact: it is merely a bookkeeping recategorization. - 2 - 5. Code Inspection Services The BID has agreed to fund a part-time Buildings Bureau code inspector to enhance enforcement of building code regulations in the downtown area. This funding will be augmented by salary savings to expand efforts to other commercial areas. A total appropriation of $25,000 for this service is required. 6. Workers Compensation Fund Deficit As discussed during the recent presentation of the FY 2011 audit report, the Workers Compensation Internal Service Fund is in a deficit position while the Liability & Casualty Internal Service Fund has a fund surplus. To partially mitigate the deficit in the Workers Compensation Fund, user charges to departments were increased in FY 2012 and will be further increased in FY 2013. Additionally, as recommended by the auditors, excess funds in the Liability & Casualty Fund can be transferred to the Workers Compensation Fund. A budget amendment is needed for this transfer. Recommendation: The above adjustments have no net impact on the budget; therefore, it is recommended that the 2012 budget be amended as per attached.

The interns were supplied with a list of data currently obtained by city departments. See below. • Non-Residential Refuse Collection- Public Works Department • Public Assembly- Fire Department • Liquor License Application- City Clerk's Office • Second hand dealer- City Clerk's Office • Licensed SLA Premises- Police Department • Licensed Cabaret- Police Departmet~:t Some 14 different storefront business areas citywide were mapped using information obtained fi·om the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Map, and general knowledge. A questionnaire was created to obtain business name, owner contact, and type of business/licenses, refuse collection and liabiiity insurance information. See attached. The interns were given ID' s from the City and began to gather information on approximately 160 storefront businesses in the downtown and Wykagyl section ofNew Rochelle. The students found that some business representatives readily supplied the information while others did not. They concluded that legislation may be necessary for compliance, and the task of canvassing storefront businesses will take a significant amount of time, and resources to complete. 515 North Avenue New Rochelle, Nl' 10801 Phone' (914) 654 -2140 FAX, (914) 654 - 2174 tries B.
