Commission declares lead agency for 404/410 Main Street housing project; parking questions leave unit count unresolved
Summary
The commission declared itself lead agency for SEQR on a proposed 41‑unit housing project at 404/410 Main Street after reviewing parking utilization data. Commissioners said the height proposal was acceptable but asked the applicant to provide more detailed parking and lease/lot contribution proposals before approving the larger unit count.
The Planning Commission declared itself lead agency for coordinated SEQR review of a housing proposal at 404/410 Main Street after hearing a developer presentation and a preliminary parking utilization survey. Architect Joseph Thompson said a 41‑unit plan would rely on a mix of internal parking and leased off‑site spaces in a nearby city lot; an alternate 34‑unit scheme would not require off‑site spaces.
Commissioners said the site's proposed bonus height was acceptable but that the parking data as presented did not justify the larger unit count because evening demand at a nearby lot and on‑street peaks reduce available capacity for assigned resident spaces. The commission asked the applicant to provide a written utilization report, any proposed lease or contribution offers for city lot spaces, and a clearer plan for visitor parking and curb‑cut/traffic impacts; the board voted to declare lead agency for SEQR and to revisit the project once the additional information is submitted.
