Board members requested that the new capacity be promoted through the city’s social media channels and that wayfinding and signage (including signage off South Division and Memorial Highway) be included as part of a parking management plan so drivers know the garage is available. Staff said a parking management plan is being developed and will incorporate promotion and signage.

Owners Tom Middleton and Thomas Yagoda presented the proposal to seat about 40 diners in the rear courtyard, activate a currently underused space and support downtown business activity. The application covers an area roughly 2,500 square feet behind Townhouse and adjacent to a two-story garage/warehouse the applicants own. The board heard that staff from the parking bureau confirmed required parking could be served by municipal facilities nearby.

Middleton described the goal as increasing downtown activation and said the owners have the right to use the courtyard area. “We’re hoping this can continue what I think Townhouse is hopefully doing, which is allowing for more activity, more sort of community activity,” he said. Thomas Yagoda described proposed hours (restaurant hours are currently 5–10 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday), lighting (café lights and table lamps) and programming (jazz series, trivia nights, monthly artist events) intended to make the courtyard an intimate dining destination.

Board members discussed logistics including garbage and loading operations, tenant windows overlooking the courtyard, drive-aisle access and the potential need to clear furniture to allow occasional vehicle access. Middleton said trash pick-up would occur after business hours and the owners plan a permanent enclosure for refuse. The applicants said the back area’s furniture and plantings would be movable to allow occasional access when required.

The board approved the special permit with conditions requiring remediation of any construction damage to city right-of-way to DPW standards and limiting permit effectiveness to the current ownership arrangement: the permit applies while the townhouse and 72 Center remain commonly owned or if a legally binding agreement is recorded that preserves the dining use in the event of a sale. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote.

Speakers from the public spoke in support, noting the proposal would enliven downtown and provide quieter dining. The board asked staff to ensure parking bureau and building-department follow-up on maneuverability and any grandfathered tenant parking status.","The Planning Board approved a special permit allowing outdoor dining in the rear courtyard of Townhouse Restaurant at 72 Center/559 Main, limited to common ownership or a legally binding agreement.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6522906,"Planning board clears rooftop solar at 54 Nardozzi Place",429,2418000,2847000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065863-713b01613d1fc8ec509c6898dfb7fe69&start=2418&end=2847","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065863-713b01613d1fc8ec509c6898dfb7fe69/thumbnail_2418000.jpg","/articles/6522906/New-York/Planning-board-clears-rooftop-solar-at-54-Nardozzi-Place","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522906-9328544b48d3bb8338a5fc87d4a0bfdb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771088485&Signature=hAvvyhC9iqGHI2DDc0Us4aw4jwoS3ipyVsuvatgKXB7FVpV~gGgLR97M1sWUVgXGdlycTkd8IK~U00ue5VJU~~8gMaBHTTwXKL2O7tzFH68YllmqALQE0CFBxKDVI~E1wl0YCsFSPuflsctUPVfuaETiDbJWpdDnJXhfUKr6hORswWwwWG8LgP-b6X8aYLLn5zbYdKOaJG1JBhjC2XYHyXiOwLvkiOyHnS6ds0HvcFQEU0f9p2rB4mj4oCtK80Uo6fBVquOi--3FUlHkwcIVhVIDAphQ5rCMYBOLURTktPQk9kMFHcNc1SvU-eS~D1umEJWs2c9HaQRv-b6YNf5dIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New Rochelle Planning Board approved a site plan on June 20 for a rooftop solar installation at 54 Nardozzi Place, a storage facility in a CABLI zoning district.

Jonathan Mizrahi of Tri-State Solar described the proposal as a rooftop ballasted system with a combination of ballast blocks and mechanical attachments. He told the board that the facility’s six-foot parapet walls and the building’s placement mean the array will not be visible from public corridors, including I-95. The applicant said material deliveries and lifts to the roof will be staged on private property and that the only exterior electrical equipment would be the required emergency disconnect.

Conditions attached to the approval require the applicant to remedy any construction damage to city right-of-way to the satisfaction of the Department of Public Works and to obtain DPW permits for temporary right-of-way obstructions or lane closures. The board also required information on delivery procedures, a requirement to schedule deliveries to avoid peak shopping times, and a corrective update to drawings to show required setback dimensions.

Mizrahi told the board the panels are fixed (non-tracking) and that arrays are tucked within the rooftop parapet with setbacks greater than the six-foot minimum. Board members asked for additional drawing detail on the east/west setback dimensions; staff noted the dimension was present in the submitted plans and requested a clarifying update. There were no public comments on the item.

The motion for site-plan approval passed by unanimous voice vote. The applicant said the project will lift materials and conduct work from inside the property and will coordinate any lane closures and delivery hours with DPW.","The board approved a rooftop ballasted solar array for a storage facility at 54 Nardozzi Place with delivery and lane-closure conditions and DPW permitting requirements.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6522911,"Planning board approves Cloudbound toddler play center at 80 Nardozzi Place",2004,379000,2383000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065863-713b01613d1fc8ec509c6898dfb7fe69&start=379&end=2383","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065863-713b01613d1fc8ec509c6898dfb7fe69/thumbnail_379000.jpg","/articles/6522911/New-York/Planning-board-approves-Cloudbound-toddler-play-center-at-80-Nardozzi-Place","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522911-93096d762029271f141e244714e99db0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771088485&Signature=QCbYV~RpGWidgCNBqVAOTvSqH1VL7DQYNycoCbBySUockjojsiI1BVaF9mJdIOhJ1uoTlBX3O3lza3OiQC5~nkZaKipNnYHNRHt82nv-sG08HzzpYitHoopI0moBrJnb4ljzrbB9p3zKMUOZSAWaV3NLQyJqaaqaHtht3-ep2hQlHOgw4OyqZzGZtV03MPX8EzZZau0AyXPAKK6SunCo5Y4CKrW8WEEPuXZ7FHwXwON5KLzy5teroiYQIT-OEH9hoFF5esSeRMgAvgybt9fTNrxLsI~mmnhMtaPOKPfFNyB1pHTR80sqQuWcz5MuqMJCaiCq15TDPGoLqdq4NESekQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New Rochelle Planning Board on June 20 approved a site plan for Cloudbound, a new play venue for children ages 0 to 6 to be located at 80 Nardozzi Place in a CABLSR-1 zone.

The board approved the interior-only remodel of a former Ashley Furniture retail space after presentations from applicant representatives and discussion about parking, traffic and life-safety measures. The approval included conditions requiring a traffic trip-generation review with the director of traffic engineering, life-safety signage and lighting plans, and an administrative follow-up to consider staggered party/checkout procedures if the trip study indicates it is needed.

Cloudbound, presented by Caitlin Shufelt, vice president of Cloudbound (a new brand from the SkyZone team), is billed as a membership-focused, drop-in-friendly indoor play venue designed for children 0–6 and parents. “Cloudbound is meant to be that option for you to make it as easy as possible for parents,” Shufelt said during the public hearing. Amy Miles, associate with PB2 Architecture and Engineering, said the proposal involves only an interior remodel of the vacant Ashley Furniture space and that the existing parking \"goes space for space\" with the proposed experiential use.

Board members raised concerns about traffic intensity at the Nardozzi/ nearby corridor and the potential for party-related peak arrivals. Benito Seja, senior project manager, and Kevin Kane, director of planning and sustainability, confirmed staff had requested a traffic study and proposed a condition requiring review of projected trip generation and any necessary signal timing modifications before issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy. Shufelt said Cloudbound will operate as a members-only product with presales and two-hour ticketed sessions and that the operator anticipates staffing and operational controls to limit throughput compared with a typical SkyZone trampoline park.

The board resolution included four written conditions: remediation of any construction damage to city right-of-way to DPW standards and required DPW permits for any temporary obstructions; applicant review of projected trip generation with the director of traffic engineering before a temporary certificate of occupancy to address signal timing modifications; submission of an exit signage and emergency lighting plan prior to building permits; and an administrative return to the board to consider staggered checkout/party start times contingent on the trip-generation study.

The motion for site-plan approval passed unanimously.

Cloudbound representatives said they will complete the traffic study and work with city staff on any operational limits needed before opening. The board noted that any required signal timing or other off-site traffic adjustments would be coordinated with the city prior to a temporary CO.","The New Rochelle Planning Board granted site-plan approval to Cloudbound, a SkyZone sister brand aimed at children ages 0–6, with conditions tied to traffic review and life-safety plans.","actionData","errors"]
