THE CITY RECORD

Waterfront zoning certification pursuant to ZR 62-81 to demonstrate compliance with applicable waterfront zoning regulations
In order to assess the possible effects of the Proposed Actions, a reasonable worst-case development scenario RWCDS has been established for the Proposed Actions to account for existing conditions, the Future without the Proposed Actions No Action condition and the Future with the Proposed Actions With Action condition with a 2026
analysis year. In the With-Action scenario, the Proposed Project would be constructed pursuant to the proposed zoning map amendment, waterfront and public parking garage special permits, and waterfront zoning certification. In the No-Action Condition, it is anticipated that the Project Site would be developed as an as-of-right 312,599
gsf development consisting of 58,000 gsf of office space, 181,401 gsf of warehouse space, and 73,198 gsf of accessory parking. Under the RWCDS, the Proposed Actions are expected to result in a net increase of 540,442 gsf of commercial office space, 21,233 gsf of retail space, and 49,453 sf 1.14 acres of waterfront public open space, as well as a net reduction of 181,401 gsf of warehouse space and 45 parking spaces.
The DEIS identifies potential significant adverse impacts related to transportation traffic and pedestrians and construction traffic.
Mitigation measures to address those impacts, where feasible and/
or practical, are proposed in the DEIS. DCP, as the Lead Agency, will continue to further examine and refine these recommended measures between the DEIS and FEIS. If no feasible and practicable mitigation can be identified, the impacts would remain an unavoidable significant adverse impact of the Proposed Actions. The DEIS considered two alternatives a No Action Alternative and a No Significant Adverse Impacts Alternative. Neither of these alternatives would meet the primary objectives of the Proposed Actions, and no feasible alternatives are available that would result in no unmitigated impacts and meet the Proposed Actions goals.

The New York City Department of City Planning DCP is proposing a series of land use actions, including zoning map amendments, zoning text amendments including mapping a special purpose district and designating a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing MIH area to ensure affordable housing is part of any future development, and changes to the City Map collectively, the Proposed Actions, that would facilitate the implementation of the multi-year planning process conducted in the Parkchester, Van Nest, and Morris Park neighborhoods in the Bronx in partnership with local stakeholders, city agencies, and the MTA.
The Proposed Actions would affect an approximately 46-block area primarily along major corridors East Tremont Avenue, White Plains Road, Bronxdale Avenue, Eastchester Road, and Stillwell Avenue near the future Parkchester/Van Nest and Morris Park Metro-North stations in Bronx Community Districts 9, 10 and 11 the Affected Area. The approximately 28-block area closest to the future Parkchester/Van Nest station is generally bounded by Baker Avenue and Van Nest Avenue to the north, Silver Street to the east, East Tremont Avenue to the south, and St. Lawrence Avenue to the west.
The approximately 18-block area closest to the future Morris Park station is generally bounded by Pelham Parkway to the north, Marconi Street to the east, Williamsbridge Road to the south, and Tenbroeck Avenue to the west. The Proposed Actions are intended to leverage new planned Metro-North service to promote economic growth, facilitate the development of housing, including affordable housing, as well as guide investment in the public realm around stations to improve pedestrian safety and comfort.
The Proposed actions include:

Zoning Map Amendments to:
o Rezone portions of existing M1-1, C8-1, C8-4, R4, R5, R6, and R6A districts and C1-1, C1-2, and C2-2 commercial overlays to R4, R6A, R6-1, R7-2, M1-1A/R7-3, R8X, C8-2, C4-3, and C4-4 districts and a C2-4 commercial overlay.
The Proposed Actions would also modify the boundaries of the existing Parkchester Special Planned Community Preservation District and would map the Special Eastchester East Tremont Corridor District, largely coterminous with the Affected Area.

Zoning Text Amendments to:
o Establish the Special Eastchester East Tremont Corridor District, largely coterminous with the Affected Area. The proposed special purpose district would include modifications to underlying use, bulk, parking and loading, and streetscape regulations, and establish special provisions for the M1-1A/R7-3 paired district.
