Planning Commission agrees to circulate SEQR notice for James Street garage expansion (514→633 spaces)
Summary
The Commission agreed to circulate a notice of intent and serve as SEQR lead agency for a proposed James Street garage expansion that would increase capacity from 514 to 633 spaces (about 160 additional spaces). Staff said SEQR review and coordination with affected agencies will precede a site-plan application and likely return for votes in coming months.
The Peekskill Planning Commission voted to circulate a notice of intent and to serve as the SEQR lead agency for a proposed expansion of the James Street parking garage. Carol, the planning staff member who briefed the commission, said the project is part of a broader 'Momentum' initiative supporting housing and would expand the garage from 514 spaces to 633 spaces—adding roughly 160 spaces overall.
Carol said the Commission's lead-agency decision launches an environmental-review process and a mailing to interested and affected agencies; those agencies have 30 days to respond. Staff told commissioners they will not file a site-plan application immediately but expect to return with updates, aiming for a final vote in a coming month once coordination and funding requests are further along.
