DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR–4912–N–15]
Notice of Availability of a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Ashburton Avenue Urban Renewal
Plan and Master Plan, Yonkers,
Westchester County, NY
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and
Development, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Department of Housing
and Urban Development gives notice to
the public, agencies, and Indian tribes of
the availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for review and comment for: (1) The
Ashburton Avenue Urban Renewal Plan
and Ashburton Avenue Master Plan and
(2) the Mulford Gardens HOPE VI
Revitalization Plan in the City of
Yonkers, Westchester County, New
York. The Draft EIS was prepared by the
City of Yonkers, NY acting under its
authority as the Responsible Entity for
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) in accordance with 24 CFR 58.4.
The Draft EIS has been prepared to
satisfy the requirements of both NEPA
and the New York State Environmental
Quality Review Act of 1978, as amended
(6 NYCRR part 617). The EIS and NEPA
process will also be used to address
historic preservation and cultural
resource issues under Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act, 16
U.S.C. 470f. This notice is given in
accordance with the Council on
Environmental Quality regulations at 40
CFR parts 1500–1508.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:02 Sep 27, 2005
Jkt 205001
The Draft EIS analyzes two
interrelated actions: (1) The Ashburton
Avenue Master Plan and Urban Renewal
Plan and (2) the Mulford Gardens HOPE
VI Revitalization Plan. The analysis of
the Ashburton Avenue Master Plan and
Urban Renewal Plan consists of a broad
or generic discussion of the potential
impacts resulting from the adoption of
the two broad planning documents. The
analysis of the Mulford Gardens HOPE
VI Revitalization Plan, which is
geographically contained within the
Master Plan and Urban Renewal Area, is
a site-specific analysis. Due to the
timing of these two actions, both the
generic Draft EIS for the Master Plan
and Urban Renewal Plan and the sitespecific EIS for the HOPE VI
Revitalization Plan are contained in this
one document. Each of the chapters in
the document contains discussion and
analysis for both the generic Master Plan
and Urban Renewal Plan and the sitespecific HOPE VI Revitalization Plan.
DATES: Written comments on the Draft
EIS will be accepted for a period of 45
days, beginning on Monday, October 3,
2005 and ending at 5 p.m. on
Wednesday, November 16, 2005.
Written comments may be sent by mail
or facsimile to the address listed below
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT. Oral comments are welcome at
a public hearing that will be held on
October 20, 2005. The location and time
of the public hearing will be published
in local Yonkers newspapers on October
4, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Copies of the Draft EIS and Executive
Summary are available upon request to
the Lead Agency, care of Stephen
Whetstone, Commissioner of Planning
and Development, City of Yonkers, 87
Nepperhan Avenue, Suite 312, Yonkers
NY 10701–3874. Telephone: (914) 377–
6565. Fax: (914) 377–6672. Web site:
steve.whetstone@cityofyonkers.com.
Copies are also available for review at
the Yonkers Riverfront Library, 1 Larkin
Center, Yonkers, NY 10701.
Need for the EIS: The City of Yonkers
has determined that the Proposed
Action constitutes an action which has
the potential to affect the quality of the
human environment in terms of
socioeconomics, housing and
improvements to the existing
transportation system. Therefore the
City, as Lead Agency, has prepared an
EIS to examine the potential impacts of
implementing the components of the
Master Plan and Urban Renewal Plan.
Since it is anticipated that
transportation improvements and new
residential construction will be at least
in part funded with federal monies, the
PO 00000
Frm 00113
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
City has prepared the EIS in accordance
with NEPA. Additionally, insofar as the
Proposed Action includes a residential
component, it is subject to the Yonkers
Affordable Housing Ordinance, Article
XV of the Code of the City of Yonkers.
The Decision of the United States
District Court in D’Agnillo v. United
States Department of Housing and
Urban Development, 1999 WL 350870
(S.D.N.Y. 1999), requires environmental
review under NEPA of all housing
projects which are subject to the
Affordable Housing Ordinance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
18, 2005 (70 FR 20160), the Federal
Register published the Notice of Intent
to Prepare an EIS. The Draft EIS
evaluates the potential impacts of the
Proposed Action which consists of the
preparation of an Urban Renewal Plan
and Master Plan for approximately 44acres in downtown Yonkers,
Westchester County, NY, and the
redevelopment of the Mulford Gardens
public housing complex and eight sites
on nearby blocks financed, in part, by a
HOPE VI grant to the Municipal
Housing Authority for the City of
Yonkers. Associated actions include
condemnation and conveyance of real
property; expansion of the Ashburton
Avenue right-of-way and street
demapping actions as applicable;
amendments to the City Zoning Code
and zoning map; applications for site
plan and subdivision approvals; and
potential applications by the City for
State and/or Federal funding to
accomplish any of the foregoing.
The Urban Renewal Area (URA) is
located on the west side of Yonkers,
north of the downtown and west of the
Saw Mill River Parkway. The area
encompasses approximately 600 parcels
along and near Ashburton Avenue,
between Warburton Avenue and
Yonkers Avenue. The area was selected
by the City as a potential URA to tie into
the redevelopment of Mulford Gardens,
the City’s oldest public housing
complex, which is located on 12 acres
within the boundaries of the proposed
URA. Due to its age and substandard
housing condition of its 552 units,
Mulford Gardens is slated for
demolition. The City’s Municipal
Housing Authority was awarded a
HOPE VI grant to demolish and
reconstruct housing on and around the
existing Mulford Gardens site. Proposed
HOPE VI residential development will
occur on the existing 12-acre Mulford
Gardens site, with additional
residential, community facility and
retail development to occur on eight
surrounding sites within the Ashburton
Avenue URA.
