Hey guys! I know many of you have been following the process for getting the proposed affordable housing legislation passed and so you know it has been in Real Estate Committee since February of this year. We have had several meetings discussing it but the conversation continues.
Yesterday evening Councilman
John Rubbo
who chairs the Real Estate Committee called a meeting for today at 5:30pm via WebEx. You can watch it live on the Yonkers City Council Facebook page. While 24 hour notice is very limiting since most people won’t find out soon enough to adjust their schedules so they can tune in to the conversation, I am sharing it nonetheless.
I did however, request that the Chairman change the date of the meeting and allow for more than 24 hours notice in an effort to be INCLUSIVE and TRANSPARENT with you, the public, but it seems that my request has fallen on deaf ears.
In addition to the affordable housing ordinance (which calls for 20% of large multifamily units to be affordable), there are other items on the agenda as well. These items are:
1) A resolution by the city council to assume lead agency status and make a determination of significance pursuant to SEQRA relating to the proposed zone map change for 612 Grassy Sprain Rd.
2) A general ordinance amending chapter 43 of the zoning code and the zoning map to change the property at 612 Grassy Sprain Rd. from “S-100 to S-60” zone district to an “S-75” zone district.
3) A discussion of the draft environmental impact statement regarding AMD downtown re-zoning project - Chicken Island, Tuetonia Hall, and North Broadway.
As always, I will continue to keep you all in the loop so they you can be a part of the process as we work on your behalf for a better Yonkers!
Yonkers City Councilwoman Shanae Williams, 1st District
