It is our intention for this Development to be a 100% affordable condominium with AFFH units selling at prices based on 80% of the area median income (AMI) for Westchester County to households with income levels up to 100% AMI, and otherwise in accordance with Section 230-48 of the Village Code. Proposed funding sources for the Development include (i) NYSHCR’s Affordable Home Ownership Opportunity Program (AHOP); and (ii) Westchester County’s New Home Land Acquisition Program (NHLA) which provides funding for acquisition of property used to develop fair and affordable housing in Westchester County. WBP has recently been approved for such funding on two developments, in New Rochelle and White Plains. These developments, of 126 condominiums and 68 condominiums, will commence construction this fall. In the event that one or both of these funding sources are not available for this Development, WBP will still proceed with the proposed site and building plans as proposed for a development providing not less than 20% AFFH Units. The Application is submitted in furtherance of the Board’s adoption of Resolution #86-2024 on April 24, 2024, wherein the Board selected WBP as the proposed purchaser and preferred developer of Lot A in connection with an RFP process initiated by the Village in July, 2023. WBP is also Contract Vendee pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated April 23, 2024, for the CPR Parcel. The Application is also advanced in accordance with Local Law 14 of 2022 which, consistent with the goals of the Village Master Plan, amended certain zoning provisions for the Light Industrial Zoning District (within which the Development is located) to permit, as a special permit use, transit-oriented 480 BEDFORD ROAD CHAPPAQUA, NEW YORK 10514 F: 914.909.7328 development consisting of mixed use or multi-family residential buildings on lots located on Croton Point Avenue on the west side of Route 9 and within 1,500 feet of the Metro North Croton Harmon Train Station. .
