Elizabeth R. Feldman Supervisor of the Town of Ossining and Members of the Town Board 16 Croton Avenue Ossining, New York 10562 Re: Crotonville Owner LLC – Petition for Zoning Text Amendment Crotonville Conference Center Former General Electric Management-Training Facility 1 Old Albany Post Rd Dear Supervisor Feldman and Members of the Town Board: Our firm, together with Kimley-Horn Engineering and Landscape Architecture of New York, P.C., represents Crotonville Owner LLC, the new owner of the former GE Management- Training Facility. The property measures approximately 62 acres and is in a BE Business Education Zoning District. We appeared before the Board last month to introduce our client and its vision for the property. We are pleased to officially submit a Rezoning Petition requesting that the Town Board adopt certain text amendments to the BE District regulations to facilitate the planned re-purposing of the former GE buildings. The proposed amendments would help maintain the economic viability of this unique complex. There are no new buildings, or expansion of existing buildings, planned or proposed at this time. Our client would adaptively reuse the existing 12 buildings. As explained in the enclosed Rezoning Petition and other materials, including a draft Zoning Amendment annexed to the Petition, our client proposes to ultimately re-purpose the existing buildings as a mix of uses to meet current market demand, including conference center, hotel, restaurant, and/or senior-living facilities, together with accessory uses. The proposed Zoning Amendment would permit these uses in the BE District. The number of rooms related to the hotel/conference center and/or senior living units would not exceed 300 in total. There are currently a total of 248 guest rooms within the 2 buildings known as Croton Hall (188 rooms) and The Village (60 rooms). Enclosed for the Town Board’s review please find: (i) Verified Petition for Zoning Text Amendment, with Exhibits; (ii) Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1, (iii) Existing Conditions Plan, and (iv) Chart identifying the current and proposed uses at the property. The fees will be submitted separately. Town of Ossining Town Board June 10, 2024 | Page 2 4881-4020-1153, v. 1 Our client respectfully requests that the Town Board begin the rezoning and SEQRA processes, including the necessary referrals. We look forward to working together with the Town and its staff on the proposed zoning amendments and the reimagining of this site. Thank you for the Town Board’s attention.

Valerie Monastra, AICP Crotonville Owner LLC Kimley-Horn TOWN OF OSSINING: TOWN BOARD WESTCHESTER COUNTY: STATE OF NEW YORK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -x In the Application of CROTONVILLE OWNER LLC : : For an Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Ossining, New York. : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -x VERIFIED PETITION FOR ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT Petitioner CROTONVILLE OWNER LLC (“Petitioner”), by its attorneys Zarin & Steinmetz LLP, respectfully petitions the Town Board of the Town of Ossining (“Town”) as follows: Summary Of Zoning Petition 1. This Petition seeks an amendment to the Town’s Zoning Ordinance to modify the BE Business Education District regulations to facilitate the planned re-purposing of the former General Electric (“GE”) management-training facility, located at 1 Old Albany Post Rd, Ossining, NY 10562 (“Property”). The Property is in a BE District, and thus a zoning map change is not required. 2. Petitioner acquired the approximately 62-acre Property in April 2024. It consists of approximately 12 buildings, together with surface parking, a helipad, tennis courts, and other improvements. There are a total of 248 guest rooms within the buildings known as Croton Hall (188 guest rooms) and The Village (60 guest rooms). Annexed as Exhibit “A” is an “Existing Conditions” plan, prepared by Kimley Horn Engineering & Landscape Architecture of NY, P.C., Petitioner’s planning, engineering and traffic consultants. 3. Petitioner plans to ultimately re-purpose the existing improvements on the Property as a mix of uses to meet current market demand, including, without limitation, a business training school, conference center, hotel, restaurant, and senior-living facilities, together with other uses and activities that are customarily associated with such uses. The number of guest rooms related to the hotel/conference center and/or senior living units would not exceed 300 in total. 4. The planned re-purposing of the Property is designed to continue to accommodate business training and corporate events (like GE’s use of the Property for decades), while also offering new opportunities for other complimentary uses. 5. The hotel, conference center and restaurants would be enjoyed by Town residents as well as attract visitors from around the area. For example, these spaces would be able to host events such as weddings and other life-cycle events and celebrations. A senior living facility would provide a place for seniors to age-in-place near their family and friends. Petitioner expects to operate a hotel, conference center and restaurant as soon as later this year. A potential senior living facility is a longer-range possibility. 6. Permitting flexibility for a mix of potential uses at the Property to meet market demand would help maintain the economic viability of this unique complex, resulting in ongoing tax revenues and other benefits for the Town and its residents. 7. Petitioner also intends, to the extent practicable, to incorporate its planned uses through adaptive reuse of the existing buildings without material changes to the building footprints. By focusing on preserving, upgrading, and modernizing the existing buildings, Petitioner would bring the former GE facility current in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. 8. The Town’s BE District regulations in Zoning Ordinance Section 200-19.1 do not currently permit Petitioner’s proposed mix of uses. The proposed Zoning Text Amendment would modify the existing BE District regulations to permit such uses (“Zoning Amendment”). Petitioner’s Zoning Amendment would be in furtherance of the Town’s comprehensive planning and development goals. These include encouraging a mix of uses for economic growth and activity, and adaptive re-use of existing structures. Petitioner submits that this mix of uses will not result in any significantly different impacts nor change in any meaningfully way the fashion in which the Property was used for decades. 9. Accordingly, based on the foregoing, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Town Board of the Town of Ossining (“Town Board”) accept this Petition, and commence the requisite environmental, planning, and legislative review procedures in connection with the Town Board’s consideration and ultimate adoption of the Zoning Amendment. Petitioner 10. Petitioner Crotonville Owner LLC is a foreign limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, with an address of c/o Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, One Liberty Plaza, New York, New York 10006. 11. Petitioner acquired the Development Site in April 2024. 12. Petitioner’s members comprise an investor group with considerable real estate holdings and decades of experience owning, managing and renovating multiple property types nationwide. 13. Pyramid Global Hospitality is currently under contract with the Petitioner to manage and operate the Property. Its portfolio includes management of conference centers, hotels and resorts around the world. Proposed Zoning Text Amendment 14. The Zoning Text Amendment would establish new regulations with respect to the proposed mix of potential uses at the Property. 15. More specifically, a conference center, hotel and restaurant would be added to the “permitted uses” in the BE District. A new “special permit” under the jurisdiction of the Town Zoning Board of Appeals (“ZBA”) would be added for senior living facilities. Various new accessory uses would be added, including, for example, ballrooms, event spaces, spa/wellness facilities, personal service establishments, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. 16. Moreover, certain new “special requirements” would be included. There would be a requirement for Petitioner to endeavor to adaptively reuse the existing buildings to the extent practicable. And the maximum number of guest rooms for all uses would be capped at 300. 17. Other changes involve inserting a “Purpose” section at the beginning of the BE District regulations, adding a definition for “Senior-Living Facilities,” and deleting certain language that was restricted to business training now that the allowed uses would be broader. 18. Annexed as Exhibit “B” is a Draft Zoning Amendment. We included a redlined version of the existing BE District regulations so that the proposed amendments can be easily discerned. A clean version is also included. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan 19. Petitioner’s proposal would be in furtherance of several planning and land use objectives identified in the Town of Ossining’s Comprehensive Plan, adopted May 10, 2022 (“Comprehensive Plan”). 20. The Comprehensive Plan declares that a main goal related to housing, development and preservation is to “[e]ncourage a mix of uses in the business districts to stimulate the local economy.” (Comp. Plan at 78). 21. The proposed Zoning Amendment would accomplish this by introducing hotel, conference center, restaurant, and senior living facilities as new uses permitted in the BE District. 22. The Comprehensive Plan also favors “adaptive reuse of existing structures such that they might serve the community with renewed purpose” (Id. at 86). Petitioner intends to re- purpose the existing buildings on this well-established campus without material changes to building footprint, and the Zoning Amendment obligates Petitioner to adaptive reuse of the existing buildings to the extent practicable. 23. With respect to the economy, the Comprehensive Plan urges the Town to “attract new businesses that meet local needs and the Town of Ossining’s financial needs.” (Id. at 106). It also mentions that community members have identified “tourism” as a potential for expanded economic activity in the Town. (Id.). The Zoning Amendment would permit new types of business to operate at the Property after decades of operating exclusively as a business training center for one corporation. This would help maintain the Property’s economic productivity. The hotel use would support the tourism industry as a place for visitors to stay who come to Ossining and the surrounding area to enjoy its natural and historic resources, and various art, cultural and other activities. 24. Additionally, comments were raised during the Comprehensive Plan’s public workshops about the future of the Property, and a concern that the Property would be redeveloped with apartment buildings. (Id. at 150, 153-54). As described herein, Petitioner’s vision is for the Property to be adaptively re-used for purposes that are consistent with its historic operations and which would not cause any new significant adverse traffic or other environmental impacts. Petitioner looks forward to establishing itself in the local community as a good neighbor, and to revitalizing the Property as a destination for Ossining’s residents and visitors to enjoy. There are no current plans for a new building, nor for any creation of senior-living facilities. 25. For all these reasons, Petitioner respectfully submits that the Zoning Amendment is consistent with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan. SEQRA 26. Pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”), Petitioner is submitting a Full Environmental Assessment Form (“EAF”) (Part 1). 27. Petitioner acknowledges that it will need to supplement the EAF with a technical study relating to traffic, and any other potential impact areas during the SEQRA review process as determined by the Lead Agency. Requested Relief 28. Petitioner respectfully requests that the Town Board take the following administrative and legislative steps: (a) accept this Petition; (b) place Petitioner on an upcoming Town Board agenda for a formal presentation and discussion; (c) determine the appropriate agency to serve as Lead Agency to conduct an environmental review of the subject action under SEQRA; (d) refer the Zoning Amendment to the Planning Board for its review and report; (e) refer the Zoning Amendment to the Westchester County Department of Planning for its recommendations; (f) schedule, notice, and conduct a public hearing on the Zoning Amendment at the earliest possible date; and (g) adopt the Zoning Amendment. [intentionally left blank; signature page follows] WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that the instant matter be placed on the next available agenda of the Town Board, and be, in all respects, granted.
