Planning Board approves redevelopment of Showtime Cinema into Newburgh Self‑Storage with conditions
Summary
The Planning Board granted site‑plan approval Aug. 1 for a 63,400‑sq‑ft self‑storage redevelopment on Route 300, adopting a negative SEQRA declaration and requiring additional ARB renderings, landscaping, stormwater agreements, DEC stormwater permit, and fire department conditions.
The Town of Newburgh Planning Board on Aug. 1 granted site‑plan approval for the Newburgh Self‑Storage redevelopment at 1420 Route 300, subject to conditions including additional architectural review (ARB) materials, a stormwater‑facilities maintenance agreement, compliance with DEC stormwater construction permits and fire department comments.
Applicant Conor McCormack (Colliers Engineering & Design) summarized the proposal to adapt the existing Showtime Cinema parcel into a self‑storage complex totaling roughly 61,310 square feet of storage and about 63,400 square feet of redeveloped footprint, with a 774‑square‑foot office and limited parking. McCormack said about 1.5 acres of impervious surface would be returned to pervious landscaping to improve infiltration.
Town consultants identified items the board required before final plan stamping: ARB material samples and visual renderings, a stormwater maintenance agreement to be filed with the County, DEC stormwater construction permit coverage, water‑main extension and hydrant approval from the Orange County Health Department, Knox Box access per the fire department and relocation of a fence to accommodate hydrant access.
The Planning Board waived the public‑hearing requirement for this application, adopted a SEQRA negative declaration conditioned on additional ARB and signage information, and then approved the site plan with the conditions noted and an explicit additional requirement for enhanced landscaping along Route 300 and the entrance.
What’s next: Applicant to submit final ARB renderings and material samples, finalize stormwater and utility agreements, and address fire department checklist items. The Board’s approvals are conditioned on those items and related fees and securities.
