3 issues in development with high priority
Bronxville Field Club Expansion and Parking
Not decided. Neighbors brought photos, an engineering report and years of grievance — flooding on Denman Place, paddle noise past 10 p.m., cars lining Carll Avenue. The board wants sound and lighting data, and possibly a site visit, before voting. There's also pending litigation over the site.
140 E Prospect New Application
Daniella Realty Corp wants to convert existing retail space at 10 East Prospect Avenue into a cannabis dispensary. The hearing will shape whether the city's downtown business corridor gains its first such use.
Stalled Development Projects and Final Deadlines
Two previously approved multifamily projects — two units at 405 South Fifth Avenue and four at 454 South Ninth Avenue — still haven't pulled building permits since their 2023 approvals. The Board will decide whether to grant more time.
