Scoping Notice [SWEP] 11-28-07

Draft Scope by applicant (2) [SWEP]

The Yonkers Planning Board will hold a public scoping session to invite public comment on the proposed expansion of the Southern Westchester Executive Park (SWEP) that will include a new pediatric care facility for St. John’s Riverside Hospital.

Planning Board Applicant, developer Robert Martin Company, LLC, is proposing an amendment to the Comprehensive Development Plan for the SWEP, showing the conceptual buildout of the remaining lands. The proposed plan would effectively double the square footage of floor area within the SWEP but would not increase the acreage or footprint of the SWEP (817,000 square feet of new floor area, for a total of 1,984,840 square feet for the entire SWEP at full buildout).

The SWEP is located on Executive Boulevard in the City of Yonkers; the entire site consists of 28 tax parcels and encompasses approximately 135 acres, of which 56 acres remains undeveloped.

It is important to note that while the conceptual buildout proposal includes an additional 817,000 square feet of buildings, there is only one new building of size 250,000 square feet proposed to be constructed at this time. Everything else identified is conceptual and is presented for the purposes of this SEQRA review regarding the amendment of the Comprehensive Development Plan for SWEP.

The new building would be located at 300 Corporate Boulevard South is proposed to be occupied by the Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center (ESPC) affiliated with St. John’s Riverside Hospital. The ESPC will occupy 250,000 square feet of the overall SWEP site on a 6.5 acre lot, exclusive of parking, and will include an outpatient clinic, educational space, and 154 beds for residential patients.
