The project at 279 Jackson Avenue is a mixed-use development, which includes modifying an existing nursery and constructing a cul-de-sac roadway in Greenburgh to provide access for four new single-family residences in Yonkers. It also aims to legalize an expansion of the non-conforming nursery operation on the Greenburgh portion. The Zoning Board of Appeals previously granted several variances for 279 Jackson Avenue, notably allowing an increase in impervious surface coverage from a permitted 29% to an approved 59.2%, along with reduced setback distances for the access driveway and nursery parking. These prior approvals were critical steps for the overall development.
