Planning board grants final site plan approval for JMPEAK House renovations and occupancy limits set
Summary
The board granted final site plan approval for renovation and expansion of JMPEAK House (CHOP) to improve shelter operations, expanding average daily occupancy to 28 and capping maximum occupancy at 38 per conditions the council adopted.
The Peekskill Planning Board granted final site plan approval for renovations to the JMPEAK House homeless shelter, operated by Caring for the Hungry and Homeless of Peekskill (CHOP), and confirmed occupancy limits set by the Common Council.
The project is located at 200 North Water Street in the WF-3 Waterfront District. Staff reminded the board that the Common Council had approved a special permit with conditions and set occupancy limits: average daily occupancy must not exceed 28 people and maximum occupancy must not exceed 38. Architect Joseph Thompson, representing CHOP, noted there were no proposed changes to the exterior footprint and that county planning offered a positive review. The board approved final site plan subject to resolution of outstanding staff comments and requirements in the staff report prior to issuance of a building permit.
The board recorded the motion and passed it by voice vote with no roll-call recorded in the transcript. Staff will confirm that outstanding items in the staff report and Westchester County comments are addressed before building permits are issued.
