Regency Extended Care Center plans enclosed porch renovation in Yonkers

During the Yonkers City Planning Board meeting on June 11, 2025, significant discussions centered around proposed alterations to local facilities, particularly the Regency Extended Care Center and a multi-family residential building on Locust Hill Avenue.

The meeting began with a presentation by Amy Ritterman regarding the Regency Extended Care Center, a licensed nursing home with 315 beds. Ritterman outlined plans to enclose an existing covered patio area of 343 square feet, which would involve adding two walls and a few windows. This modification aims to extend the conference room and office space without altering the building's footprint or making changes to the surrounding site, including parking and landscaping. The proposal received no departmental comments, indicating a smooth review process ahead.

Following this, Franco Emilio and project designer Luigi Landi presented a site plan review for alterations to a multi-family residential building located at 106 Locust Hill Avenue. The specifics of their proposal were not detailed in the transcript, but the project falls under the M District zoning regulations, which suggests it is aimed at enhancing residential living conditions in the area.

The discussions reflect ongoing efforts to improve community facilities and housing in Yonkers, addressing both healthcare needs and residential living standards. As these projects move forward, they are expected to contribute positively to the local infrastructure and community well-being. The Planning Board will continue to review these proposals, with further updates anticipated in upcoming meetings.
