Planning commission approves second time extension for Syracuse Housing Authority project at 901 South State Street
Loading...
Summary
The commission granted a second extension for the major site plan MASPR-23-07 (Syracuse Housing Authority) to Sept. 1, 2027, with conditions requiring building permits within one year of the extension approval, completion of conditions within 18 months, and adherence to the original 18 conditions attached to the approval.
The Syracuse City Planning Commission approved a second time extension for Major Site Plan MASPR-23-07, a Syracuse Housing Authority development at 901 South State Street, moving the project timeline to Sept. 1, 2027.
Heather Lamendola of Barclay Damon, representing the developer McCormack Baron Salazar, presented the extension request. Lamendola said the private lender (Chase Bank) requested that the approval timeline be consistent with the construction schedule. Bill Killery, chief financial officer for the Syracuse Housing Authority, attended as the landowner representative.
Staff said the zoning administrator previously granted a first extension to March of the following year but that, given the project's size and complexity (demolition, new construction and a new street), the project team expects work and conditions to be satisfied by the requested September 2027 date.
The commission moved to approve the extension with three conditions: the property owner must obtain necessary building permits within one year of the extension approval; the property owner must meet all conditions within 18 months of the extension approval or the approval will become null and void; and the project must comply with the original 18 conditions attached to the approval. The motion carried by voice vote. No public comment was recorded on the extension request.
The extension sets construction and permitting timelines the developer and lender will use for scheduling and compliance.
