The three parcels considered were: 214 Hazelwood Ave., 134 North Monticello Drive, and 230 Hudson Street. For each parcel, staff presented an EAF Part 1 (applicant-prepared) and an EAF Part 2 prepared by staff; commissioners agreed with staff’s finding that none of the proposed map corrections would cause moderate-to-large environmental impacts and the commission issued negative SEQRA declarations for all three items.

Each amendment will now be forwarded to the Common Council for final action. Commissioners characterized these items as routine map maintenance to ensure the official zoning map aligns with county tax maps and parcel reality; no public testimony opposed the amendments during the hearing.

Why it matters: Correcting official mapping records resolves administrative inconsistencies that can affect permitting, taxation, and land-use clarity for property owners. The Planning Commission’s recommendation is advisory; the Common Council has final authority.

Votes at a glance:
- Z-2891 (214 Hazelwood Ave.): Negative SEQRA declaration adopted; commission recommended approval to Common Council.
- Z-2892 (134 North Monticello Drive): Negative SEQRA declaration adopted; commission recommended approval to Common Council.
- Z-2893 (230 Hudson Street): Negative SEQRA declaration adopted; commission recommended approval to Common Council.

Next steps: Each zoning-map amendment will be considered by the Common Council, which will take final action and formally amend the official zoning map if it votes in the affirmative.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Planning Commission Meeting , Monday May 5th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Syracuse Planning Commission recommended that the Common Council approve three zoning-map corrections at 214 Hazelwood Ave., 134 North Monticello Drive and 230 Hudson Street after issuing negative SEQRA declarations for each item.","taxTitle","Syracuse City, Onondaga County, New York","taxId",3762,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6568981,"Commission approves phase 1 of Syracuse Development Center, a mixed affordable housing project on South Wilbur",956,2388000,3344000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3192906-072029445dc418379009d9e8e3fb3f5b&start=2388&end=3344","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3192906-072029445dc418379009d9e8e3fb3f5b/thumbnail_2388000.jpg","/articles/6568981/Syracuse-City/Onondaga-County/New-York/Commission-approves-phase-1-of-Syracuse-Development-Center-a-mixed-affordable-housing-project-on-South-Wilbur","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568981-d577d7cd2f94f4be741a722c4d5db6e0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163460&Signature=dntxU7LYHy3Ki1XMmBhoa8fgy8TdhZiSEv9Ah7avfauKvdvbwjg3inShYBpAS-1kqHCXyXHxncJUNzNJSh7STCUxJbmx845VdI8QxqxajF-yNwtKVRB0Dn4bDrmhxU0uWcjkKpDMxeB4RRvF3L6mJmUNbwV~5mA2rjdjTBHEAOOASxi411wWVHYpvlQsecg3H9q7lchAXGO5aMX7i3yls7oR4gzgLHKDJavVcUFx1DNwFaTUhARug~9dgipinSbA2XORhmhWlo5m6RL3b~JqHx4F9uwIPAT-Ps0AkWrPYj7OB6qKS6tBsCqkVCUH-~zMFDUvywpM7n8UYC7Vtwi13Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Syracuse Planning Commission approved project-plan review for Phase 1 of the Syracuse Development Center (SDC), a multibuilding planned development district project on South Wilbur Avenue that the applicant described as largely affordable housing, financed in part through state affordable housing mechanisms.

Joe McNinch of SWBR, representing the Albanese organization, and co-developer Lowell Nemitz of Home Headquarters described Phase 1 as a primarily affordable-housing proposal that includes 27 multi-story, for-sale, owner-occupied townhouses plus multifamily buildings with studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom units. “As you come in off of South Wilbur, you're met with 27, multi story, for sale, owner occupied townhouses,” McNinch said. He said the design emphasizes exterior green space, community rooms, fitness areas, and playgrounds; some townhouse groupings will include garages where site grades allow.

The applicant said the project will be financed in part as a New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) project using an HFA 4% bond structure. McNinch also said the development will be fully electric and contain no gas service for the buildings the applicant controls.

The plan includes coordination with City of Syracuse infrastructure work: the city and its consultants are developing a loop road and streetscape improvements that the SDC project will interface with. The applicant said they had worked with fire department staff and city engineers on access and drainage; the proposal incorporates a two-way bike lane in the right-of-way, street trees, sidewalks and plaza-like green spaces.

Public comments and concerns: Speakers at the public comment period asked about housing price ranges and raised cultural and environmental concerns. One attendee urged an environmental review (including possible archaeological/sonar review) citing the site’s history and proximity to former residential-school sites; the speaker said she would request such studies in future proceedings. Planning staff and the applicant noted that SEQRA-related work for this multi-phase project was completed earlier at sketch-plan stage and a negative declaration was on file, so the commission proceeded with the phase 1 project-plan review.

Vote and conditions: The commission approved project-plan review (Z-2894) with eight special conditions in addition to the general conditions; staff notes list affordability requirements, construction-related conditions and cross-references to Onondaga County Planning Board comments. The motion required the applicant to address listed affordability conditions and to coordinate future design work on certain industrial buildings with zoning staff.

Why it matters: The SDC development represents a large infill redevelopment that the city has rezoned as a planned development district to allow the mix of housing types and densities proposed. If fully built, the project will add ownership and rental housing, some of it targeted to households eligible for state-supported affordable housing programs.

Next steps: The applicant must satisfy the special conditions, comply with county planning board conditions cited in staff materials, and complete permit and financing steps associated with the HFA bond/HCR funding structure before subsequent construction phases move forward.","The Planning Commission approved project-plan review for phase 1 of the Syracuse Development Center (SDC) in the PDD district, allowing a multi-building, predominantly affordable housing development with townhouses and multifamily buildings.

Terry Luckett of the Syracuse Land Bank told commissioners the Land Bank will apply to New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) for funding as part of a broader program to construct owner-occupied housing on scattered sites in the Near West Side. “This Resubdivision application requests the split of an 83 foot times 132 foot vacant lot into 2 equally sized buildable lots,” Luckett said. He added the Land Bank plans to build two single-family houses on the newly created lots; those single-family units will be owner-occupied.

Staff noted the HCR application was still in preparation; Luckett said the Land Bank had not yet submitted the HCR application and was still working on it. Commissioners conducted a SEQR screening (the staff-prepared EAF Part 2 was on file) and concluded there would be no moderate-to-large environmental impacts, directing staff to prepare a Part 3 EAF for a negative declaration.

The commission approved the re-subdivision (R-25-16) with a special condition requiring the Land Bank to record the re-subdivision with the county clerk within 62 days of approval.

Public comment: A small number of attendees offered public remarks. Shane Seymour, who spoke at multiple agenda items, reiterated concerns about utility provision and social-service eligibility but did not present project-specific technical objections. No formal opposition was recorded.

Why it matters: The split enables two buildable lots intended for owner-occupied housing as part of a larger scattered-site homeownership program the Land Bank plans to pursue with HCR funding. The commission’s approval advances the project to subsequent design and funding steps.

Next steps: The Land Bank will finalize the HCR application and proceed with design and permitting for the two single-family houses. Recording of the re-subdivision with the county clerk is required within 62 days as a condition of approval.","The Syracuse Planning Commission approved a resubdivision at 236 Shonnard Street allowing the Syracuse Land Bank to split a vacant lot into two buildable lots intended for two single-family owner-occupied houses under a New York State HCR application.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6568993,"Planning commission approves Rescue Mission Exchange building project at 155 Gifford Street",1470,427000,1897000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3192906-072029445dc418379009d9e8e3fb3f5b&start=427&end=1897","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3192906-072029445dc418379009d9e8e3fb3f5b/thumbnail_427000.jpg","/articles/6568993/Syracuse-City/Onondaga-County/New-York/Planning-commission-approves-Rescue-Mission-Exchange-building-project-at-155-Gifford-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568993-c838b89ebf482aaf248468f5afaea325/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163460&Signature=StjMIKVla2y2LCuEH0JtZnjh4vOaZNZx2biKnDTUW8LSKjguBf8LvYvPb5ugfDEP~mYa3VU55ZP11IhWLvFqVbV3sl35sv9ieszWS6yYI8~lSwNRljJccq-~R181k0G4UY4yluUBKj-nlqMOqCKj-amNyvrfO2nO2JNUuTkge2kWX744QzK-7EXyqWMdy6RQv8VIL5QOUWcIs-O9gFJlOOC3A1I~5xYRUL7tUW1Qu8DzydfMkdpcSdhosAqriAqIJdwcDaeBBVdJycz6b4bmRHgbWmvR~ymUyDGBGcBODGDuKt6AIDyWU36GG6nBK~im8KxxogWW0m~PZnuuEvnbpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Syracuse Planning Commission on an undisclosed meeting date approved a re-subdivision and a major site-plan review for the Rescue Mission Exchange project at 155 Gifford Street, allowing the applicant to recombine multiple parcels and build a mixed-use structure with retail storefronts and storage.

The project will recombine six existing parcels — including the Rescue Mission-owned building at 155 Gifford Street, an adjacent parking parcel and a vacant lot — into one lot to be owned and operated by the Rescue Mission, the applicant told the commission. Vincent of Kapplinger Freeman Associates described the proposal as a mixed-use building with small commercial storefronts and an on-site storage area intended to serve the thrift operations. “The main tenant being the 3 1 5 boutique, thrifty shopper,” Vincent said during his presentation.

The commission’s re-subdivision approval (filed as R-25-15) carried a special condition requiring the applicant to record the re-subdivision with the county clerk’s office within 62 days of approval. The commission subsequently approved the major site-plan review (MASPR-25-6) with three special conditions beyond the standard conditions: documentation addressing covered bike parking tied to a 15% reduction, permit approvals within 12 months, and completion of all other stated conditions within 18 months of approval.

Why it matters: The approvals let Rescue Mission centralize its operations on a single, consolidated parcel and permit new storefront space that the applicant said will house thrift retail and related storage. The plan includes right-of-way and streetscape improvements along Seymour Street, stormwater bioretention adjacent to West Onondaga Street, landscape buffers, and screening of the parking area.

Site details and circulation: The applicant described frontage and circulation focused on Seymour Street, where the primary customer entrances will be located, and said existing staff parking for the Rescue Mission offices at 155 Gifford Street will remain dedicated to office use. Vincent described on-site features including street trees, a right-only exit onto Seymour, planting and screening consistent with city regulations, bike racks located inside the private development, and a fenced green area that will be accessible to Rescue Mission but not open to the general public.

Stormwater and utilities: The plan includes a bioretention facility on West Onondaga Street, supplemented by subsurface drainage beneath the parking area. The design team told the commission they coordinated the drainage plan with city engineering and noted a 30-inch sanitary trunk line runs adjacent to the bioretention area, which constrained how far east building massing could be shifted.

Public comment and cultural concerns: Two members of the public spoke during the hearing. Shane Seymour identified himself as having no permanent residence and raised questions about how shelters and social-service providers supply utilities and services for similar projects; his remarks were largely framed as concerns about future utility provision. A speaker who identified herself as a clan mother of the Ancient Bear Clan of the Iroquois Confederacy said she was neither wholly for nor against the project but insisted that “there must be consent given by the indigenous people here,” adding, “you cannot remove an Indian from their land.” The commission did not take additional action in response to those comments beyond recording them in the public record.

Zoning and prior review: The applicant said the project received two area variances from the City’s Board of Zoning Appeals on March 20, 2025, and staff indicated the Board issued a negative declaration under the State Environmental Quality Review Act process (staff repeatedly referred to the document as an EAF and a “negative seeker declaration” during the hearing). Because that negative declaration was on file, the commission did not perform an additional SEQR/SEQR-style environmental determination for this item and proceeded to deliberation.

Next steps: With the commission approvals and the condition requiring recording of the re-subdivision, the applicant may complete required permits and the site improvements described in the conditions. The special timing conditions for the major site plan require permit completion within 12 months and fulfillment of other conditions within 18 months.

The commission moved on to other agenda items after the votes; no appeals or further conditions were added at the meeting.","Syracuse Planning Commission approved a re-subdivision and major site-plan review for the Rescue Mission Exchange building at 155 Gifford Street, combining several parcels into one property and permitting a mixed-use building with retail storefronts, storage and associated site improvements.","actionData","errors"]
