Greater Syracuse Land Bank plans 52 single-story homes; commission approves Auto Street resubdivision
Summary
The Greater Syracuse Land Bank told the Planning Commission it will build 52 single-story manufactured homes under New York State’s Move-in New York program; the commission approved resubdivision R-25-65 for 104 Auto Street with a filing condition and issued a SEQR negative declaration.
Caitlin Wright, representing the Greater Syracuse Property Development Corporation (also known as the Greater Syracuse Land Bank), told the Syracuse Planning Commission that the agency is preparing to build 52 single-story manufactured homes through New York State’s Move-in New York program and expects to complete construction within a year.
"We are preparing to build 52 single story manufactured homes through New York State's move in New York program," Wright said, describing three home models adapted to lot width and topography. For the 104 Auto Street parcel, the Land Bank proposed dividing the site into two 50-foot lots and building owner-occupied single-family homes; Wright said most units will include a detached one-car garage and a proportion will be ADA accessible.
Commissioners reviewed environmental paperwork and concluded the action would not have a moderate-to-large environmental impact; they issued a SEQR negative declaration and approved resubdivision R-25-65 with one condition requiring the resubdivision map be filed with the county clerk within 62 days. Wright said anticipated sales prices for the project's units would range roughly from $125,000 to $200,000 and that buyers would be between about 60% and 120% of area median income.
Why it matters: The Land Bank’s project is intended to add owner-occupied housing stock and to offer single-story homes that may support aging-in-place needs. The Commission’s approval clears the parcel for permitting steps required to move the project toward construction.
What’s next: The applicant must file the resubdivision map within 62 days and submit required site plans and permits; staff will issue the EAF Part 3 documentation consistent with the negative declaration.
