Johnstown Planning Board grants one‑year extension for Prindle Avenue senior housing site plan
Summary
The Johnstown Planning Board approved a one‑year extension through August 2027 for the Prindle Avenue senior housing site plan after the applicant reported an unsuccessful housing tax credit application and said it will reapply.
The Johnstown Planning Board on July 7 approved a one‑year extension for the previously authorized site plan for senior housing on Prindle Avenue. The extension runs through August 2027.
The request came from Five Corners Development on behalf of the project owner NRP Holding, LLC. The board learned that the applicant’s first application for housing tax credits was unsuccessful because of competitive funding; the applicant said it intends to reapply in the next funding round. Because there were no changes to the approved site plan, the board determined no additional State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) was required.
Chandra Cotter, Planning Board member, moved to grant the extension and Betsy Camarra, Planning Board member, seconded the motion. The board’s record shows the motion passed with five ayes, no nays and no abstentions. The City Clerk, Carrie M. Allen, recorded the action and will update permit records accordingly.
The extension preserves the approved design and the one‑year commencement schedule originally tied to the August 2025 approval, giving the developer time to seek funding without altering the scope of the previously approved project.
Next steps: with the extension in place the project team may reapply for housing tax credits; the board did not require further environmental review or a public hearing because the application remains unchanged.
