The Yonkers Planning Board reviewed utility modifications for the proposed 14-unit residential building at 110 Ravine Avenue, requesting additional information before further action.

Catching Up

Catching Up

The project at 110 Ravine Avenue proposes a 6-story, 14-unit residential apartment building on a currently vacant lot. The Yonkers Zoning Board of Appeals previously approved several variances for 110 Ravine Avenue on March 19, 2025, addressing issues like setbacks and reduced parking requirements. The site's proximity to public transportation was a factor in granting a variance for 12 parking spaces instead of the standard 14. The Planning Board has held multiple reviews for this project, with the ZBA acting as the lead agency for environmental review.
