DESTINY USA REAL ESTATE, LLC (3101-14-01B) Amanda Fitzgerald stated Destiny USA has come to the board in connection with a project that closed in 2016 on Hiawatha Boulevard and the Agency had provided financial assistance. She stated the Agency is still in title as part of the straight lease transaction. She stated the Department of Transportation has appropriated a small piece of that property and offered compensation for that appropriation that is in connection with the I81 viaduct project. She stated the Company has asked that OCIDA release any right that they might have to that compensation. She stated any right the Agency might have is only in connection with the nominal interest we have with the straight lease transaction, so she thinks it is appropriate for the Board to authorize Mr. Petrovich to sign the documents. She stated there was a full review of the release and she feels it is a simple release just saying we are only nominally in title, and we really have no right or claim. Patrick Hogan asked if this is the new hotel. Amanda Fitzgerald stated yes. Patrick Hogan asked how much Destiny is getting for the property. Robert Petrovich stated $30,000.

He stated Micron has submitted an application to OCIDA for financial benefits, incentives for the project, a PILOT, sales and use tax exemption, etc. He stated the application roughly covers about 806 acres plus or minus and 2 fabs. He stated with that application an environmental assessment form under SEQRA was included to analyze the full build because that is what is required to look at when we are looking at a project like this under the state statute. He stated we are looking at the full build from an environmental standpoint which is roughly 1,400 acres and 4 fabs. He stated Micron has submitted an environmental assessment form that addresses the full build out of the Micron campus along with some ancillary facilities that are off the Micron campus which all is explained in the project description in the application, the EAF narrative, etc. He stated Barclay Damon in conjunction with the Agency's consultant, JMT, reviewed the EAF and also looked at and prepared a draft EAF part two, which allows the agency to look at the potential impacts as a result of the proposed project. He stated earlier this year we submitted a resolution and was passed for our intent to be lead agency. He stated those letters of intent went out to all involved and interested parties. He stated five involved agencies returned and consented or had no objection to OCIDA being lead agency for SEQRA.

He stated the other involved agencies did not respond, they have 4 Page 6 a statutory period of 30 days, so they are past the statutory period. He stated the first resolution in front of the Board goes through two different steps. He stated one is officially establishing the Agency as lead agency. He stated the prior resolution was our intent. He stated no one objected and no one else said they wanted to be, so we are officially saying we are lead agency. He stated the second part of the first resolution is adopting the contents of the EAF part two. He stated the EAF part two looked at the various potential impacts for the project and when impacts fall into a potentially moderate or large category that triggers a determination as to whether and how you will proceed environmentally. He stated in this case, if you will get to part two in your packet, moderate to large impacts were in the areas of impacts to land, impacts to surface water, impacts on groundwater, impacts on flooding, impacts on air, impacts on plant and animals, impacts on agricultural resources, impacts on aesthetic resources, impacts on historic and archaeological resources, impacts on open space, impacts on traffic, impacts on energy, impacts on noise, odor and light, impacts on human health, consistency with community plans and consistency with community character. He stated part two means there could be potential moderate to large impacts and so as a result of that, the second part of the first resolution before the Board is the agency adopting that part two, and determining that the proposed Micron project, the full build, may result in one or more significant adverse impacts on the environment and that an environmental impact statement must be prepared to further assess the impacts and possible mitigation and to explore alternatives to avoid or reduce those impacts, accordingly, and therefore, the Agency is authorizing the completion of a SEQRA EAF part three of the full environmental assessment form in accordance with this resolution. He stated we are authorizing and arranging for the publication and distribution of this positive declaration and a notice of intent to prepare a draft environmental impact statement, and to take all other such actions as are necessary and appropriate to assist the Agency in fulfilling the requirements of SEQRA for the proposed Micron project and to work with the company and its agents in connection therewith. He stated the first resolution is declaring OCIDA lead agency, adopting the recommendations of part two, issuing a positive declaration based upon that part two, and moving forward with the SEQRA process under part three for the positive declaration. 4 Page 6 a statutory period of 30 days, so they are past the statutory period.

Motion was carried. 5 Page 7 Jeff Davis stated the second resolution before the Board is a natural offshoot of the resolution just passed. He stated it was determined to be a positive declaration so now the SEQRA process is starting, and that process commences with a scoping process. He stated a draft scoping document has been prepared in conjunction with the applicant. He stated the Board packet has the draft scoping document. He stated it has been reviewed and determined it is ready for review and comment by all involved and interested agencies and also by the public in accordance with SEQRA. He stated the resolution in front of the Board is declaring scoping shall be conducted in accordance with SEQRA and that the draft scoping document is sufficiently complete to allow the opportunity for comment. He stated Agency Counsel is authorizing to arrange for publication and distribution of the draft scoping documents, provide all necessary notifications of a public scoping meeting and comment period to all involved and interested agencies and to any individual that has expressed an interest in writing and to take all other such actions as are necessary and appropriate to assist the Agency in fulfilling the requirements under SEQRA for the proposed Micron project, and to work with the company and its agents in connection. He stated the Agency is duly authorizing and noticing a public scoping meeting to be held on October 11, 2023, to consider comments on the draft scoping document. He stated we are also opening a written comment period on the draft scoping document and written comments will be received by the Agency until October 20, 2023. He stated that is the second resolution before the board and will commence the environmental review process and the public involvement in the environmental review process.

Cydney Johnson asked if there are any thoughts or indications on the attendance at the October 11 meeting. Jeff Davis stated not as of yet. He stated meeting will be held at the North Syracuse Junior High School auditorium. He stated the scoping document does encourage speakers to register in advance and depending upon that registration and the number of people in attendance we can limit the time period of people to speak because everyone needs an opportunity to speak. He stated the scoping document is lengthy and lays out all the criteria, the project background, the process that is going to be done, the purpose in need of the projects, the alternatives and description of the proposed action, the analysis framework, etc. He stated that document is kind of the initial roadmap that will be done and commented on by the public. He stated the end of that process, after we closed the public comment period, received all comments, public hearing is closed, will be the development of a final scoping document. He stated that final scoping document is the roadmap for the development of the draft environmental impact statement. 6 Page 8 Cydney Johnson asked if there are any thoughts or indications on the attendance at the October 11 meeting.

Robert Petrovich stated it is a statutory requirement. He stated the hearing will commence at 6:30 PM at the North Syracuse Junior High School Auditorium. Janice Herzog asked if there are items that need to be addressed or a resolution and how does that happen. Jeff Davis stated in terms of commenting on the project, they can review the scoping document. He stated the scoping document also directs to the project website that has been established by Micron, the applicant, and also the OCIDA website. He stated all the materials will be there. He stated anyone from the public or an involved agency can raise questions or comments with regard to an environmental issue on the project. He stated as we get to the final scoping document, all comments will develop what needs to be reviewed and studied. He stated as we get into the draft environmental impact statement, the applicant and their consulting team will study the potential impacts, determining the extent of those impacts and determining what mitigation is necessary to address those impacts. He stated that process also works hand in hand with the involved agencies that likely have the biggest interest and the determination of the mitigation. He stated for instance on traffic, New York State DOT, County DOT, the Town of Clay, the Town of Cicero, etc.; those agencies would be involved in the discussion and the development of a mitigation plan with regard to the potential impact. He stated that would go into the draft environmental impact study that would lay out concern, mitigation and how it's being addressed, and that document goes out again for comment. He stated ultimately all the comments must be put into a final environmental impact statement and be addressed. He stated every comment after the draft is logged, has to be addressed as an exhibit of the Final EIS and how you have addressed the common core concern to the maximum extent practicable. He stated this is the start of a process that is many months long to get to ultimately the goal of getting to a final environmental impact statement that is addressing those potential impacts.

Fanny Villarreal asked if the documents would come back before the Board. Jeff Davis stated yes. He stated this Board is lead agency for SEQRA so this Board will need to accept the final scoping document, accept the draft environmental impact statement, and say it is ready to go out for public comment, as well as accept the final environmental impact statement. He stated the Board will have to adopt its own finding statement at the end of that process. 7 Page 9 Patrick Hogan asked if the Board would get all the minutes from the hearing. Jeff Davis stated yes. Robert Petrovich stated he thinks the short answer is that there's more than one opportunity for the public to participate and comment. Elizabeth Dreyfuss asked if this is the only meeting, and they can write in their comments. Jeff Davis stated this is the only meeting on the draft scoping document. He stated there will be future meetings as we get into the draft EIS process, etc. He stated a public hearing will be held but the comment period will be open until the 20th so all written comments can come in before or after that meeting.

First operated as an open-air shopping center in 1954, Shoppingtown Mall was converted to an enclosed mall in the mid-1970’s. At its peak, the mall was a major regional shopping center that contained five anchor department stores, 125 in- line stores, shops and other services totaling approximately 1,184,426 square feet (SF) of retail space. Shoppingtown Mall experienced rapid decline in the 2010’s and closed entirely in March 2020. OHB Redev, LLC (the Applicant) is a locally-based Joint Venture Development team that was assembled to redevelop the site of the former Shoppingtown Mall. Specifically, the Applicant responded to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by Onondaga County, was successfully awarded redevelopment rights on the site, and has developed a proposal that would transform Shoppingtown into “District East”. The proposed District East development is anticipated to include the following: • 252,894 SF of retail space • 404,433 SF of medical/office space • 1,129,574 SF of residential • 61,773 SF of hotel/hospitality • 46,750 SF of grocery • 70,525 SF of entertainment A INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project is located on approximately 69 acres of land at the site of the former Shoppingtown Mall, located in the Town of DeWitt, Onondaga County, New York (Figure 1).

Subsequently, the early phases (Phases 1 through 3) will focus on a mix of market-rate residential units in the central (west to east) spine of the Project as well as retail and grocery on the west side of the Project facing Erie Boulevard. The middle phases (Phases 4 through 6) will focus on the balance of the residential units that will include a mix of market-rate and affordable-rate units as well as medical/office space. The latter phases (Phases 7 and 8) will focus on the infill of retail and hospitality in the northern portion of the Project along Kinne Road. To achieve the overall vision, the Applicant anticipates completing construction in 2035. Details associated with the proposed development are depicted on the District East Master Plan, which is provided as Appendix A, and includes the following three sheets: Construction is expected to begin in late 2023, and the Project is anticipated to be constructed in up to nine phases, beginning with Phase Zero which will include demolishing the bulk of the existing shopping center (leaving selected areas across the site which are flexible for adaptive reuse) and initial infrastructure construction, which is anticipated to include streets, sidewalks, sewers, parks and green spaces, and lighting (e.g., site lighting and street lights).

The Applicant signed a contract to purchase a large portion of the Site with Onondaga County for purposes of moving forward with the Applicant’s proposed redevelopment project. The contract is contingent on the County and/or OCIDA acquiring and conveying title to 4.21 acres inclusive of the former Sears sites (tax map lots 063.-01-2.4 and 063.-01-2.5) totaling 2.54 acres and Macy’s site (tax lots 063.-01-02.3) totaling 1.67 acres, as well as the rights under a certain Amended and Restated Construction, Operation and Reciprocal Easement Agreement dated September 13, 1995 (“REA”), which encumbers a meaningful partition of the Site. The REA limits the ability to redevelop the Site or otherwise use it for anything other than an enclosed mall. The acquisition of the Sears and Macy’s sites and property rights is necessary to allow for the development of the full 69 acres with a unified and comprehensive plan for redevelopment of the Site for the public purpose of addressing ongoing blight and economic underutilization of the lands at issue and creating a vibrant, walkable, mixed-use town center development.

B ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The following assessment is organized by subsection (B.1 through B.18), which correlates directly to each of the 18 questions set forth in Part 2 of the Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF). B.1 Impact on Land The site currently contains abandoned buildings (the former Shoppingtown Mall and associated structures), parking lots, interior access/service roads, and limited pockets of landscaping (see Figure 2). According to the classification codes of the New York State Office of Real Property Services, the site is classified as 400- Commercial. Therefore, natural landforms will not be impacted by this project. The site is gently sloping, ranging from a maximum elevation of approximately 490 feet in the southwestern portion of the site to approximately 450 feet in the northern portion of the site (Figure 3). Depth to water table is greater 6 feet within the majority of the site, and ranges from 3 to 5 feet in depth in a small portion of the eastern extent of the site (Figure 4) while depth to bedrock is greater than 6 feet across the site (Figure 5). To the extent groundwater is encountered during construction, standard construction dewatering techniques will be employed. To the extent that bedrock is encountered during construction, it is expected to be rippable with an excavator or broken with a pneumatic hammer (or similar). 3 B ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The following assessment is organized by subsection (B.1 through B.18), which correlates directly to each of the 18 questions set forth in Part 2 of the Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF).

B.3 Impacts on Surface Waters An Evaluation of Surface Waters and Wetlands was prepared by EDR on behalf of the Applicant, which is provided in Appendix B. Initially, this evaluation included a desktop review of relevant databases. Specifically, a review of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping indicates the nearest mapped wetlands are located approximately 600 feet southeast of the site. Similarly, a review of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) wetland data indicates the nearest mapped wetland is also located approximately 600 feet southeast of the site. Subsequent to the desktop analysis, EDR personnel conducted a site investigation to confirm the lack of surface waters and wetlands at the site. Based on site-specific review, it was confirmed that no streams or wetlands are located on-site. Therefore, the project will not result in any temporary or permanent impacts to surface waters or wetlands.

To address erosion and sediment control during construction, a Preliminary Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared (Appendix C). The SWPPP was prepared with no deviations from the 2016 New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control. As required in Section C of the State Pollution Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit (GP-0-20-001), the post-construction stormwater management practices included in this SWPPP were selected and designed to meet the performance criteria in the 2015 New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual. Erosion and sediment control practices shall be installed downstream of the project, prior to any disturbance, to prevent sediment transport offsite (see Appendix C for additional detail on construction sequencing). Additionally, during construction a Qualified Inspector will inspect erosion and sediment control practices, post-construction stormwater management practices that are under construction, disturbed areas, and all points of discharge from the construction site.

With respect to wastewater treatment, a Sanitary Sewer Capacity Assessment was prepared by EDR on behalf of the Applicant (Appendix D). The existing site is located in two drainage areas within the Onondaga County Department of Water Environment Protection (OCDWEP) sanitary sewer service area. The northwest portion of the property wastewater is discharged to a 36-inch combined storm and sanitary sewer adjacent to the intersection of Erie Boulevard East and Kinne Road that discharges to the County’s Metro Wastewater Treatment Plant. The southeast portion of the property wastewater is discharged to the County’s 36-inch combined storm and sanitary sewer located along Butternut Drive that discharges to the County’s Meadowbrook/Limestone Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The southeast portion of the property wastewater is discharged to the County’s 36-inch combined storm and sanitary sewer located along Butternut Drive that discharges to the County’s Meadowbrook/Limestone Wastewater Treatment Plant. The existing Shoppingtown Mall has approximately 1,184,426 SF of developed space and at its peak discharged an average wastewater flow of approximately 15,000 gallons per day. A preliminary evaluation of wastewater flow associated with the proposed redevelopment was conducted for each proposed use based on the square-foot of building area and typical wastewater values. Based on the proposed development, an additional daily average flow of 45,000 gallons per day of wastewater is anticipated to be generated upon full project build out. Based on discussions with OCDWEP, it was determined that it would be beneficial to discharge all the future wastewater flow to the Metro Wastewater Treatment Plant (MWWTP) drainage area. A request for capacity assurance was submitted to OCWEP on January 9, 2023 and a response will be provided upon receipt, the future redevelopment is anticipated to discharge the entire site into the Metro WWTP facility. To connect the entire site to the Metro WWTP drainage basin, a pump station and a new 10-inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE) forcemain will need to be constructed. Based on existing collection system data and local knowledge it is anticipated that the site will discharge to the 36-inch combined sewer located at the intersection of Erie Boulevard East and Kinne Road, which ultimately discharges to the MWWTP.

B.4 Impact on Groundwater District East is not anticipated to result in new or additional use of groundwater, or the introduction of contaminants to groundwater or an aquifer. On behalf of the Applicant, EDR prepared a Water Distribution Assessment, which evaluates water distribution from the perspective of existing conditions compared to proposed conditions. Currently, water service to the site is provided by two water mains, one of Kinne Road (8-inch main) and one of Erie Boulevard (10-inch main), both of which are owned and operated by the Town of DeWitt. District East is anticipated to connect to both water mains, and the Town of DeWitt has committed to continue to provide domestic water service to the proposed redevelopment. See Appendix E for additional information. 5 Page 50 B.5 Impact on Flooding The proposed redevelopment will not occur on lands subject to flooding. Figure 6 depicts the locations of FEMA-mapped 100-year and 500-year flood zones, neither of which fall within the site. The nearest mapped flood zone is approximately 600 feet east of the site, associated with Butternut Creek.

The nearest mapped flood zone is approximately 600 feet east of the site, associated with Butternut Creek. On behalf of the Applicant, EDR prepared a Stormwater Utility Assessment (Appendix F). Stormwater management is to be provided for the project site in accordance with Town of DeWitt stormwater requirements and the SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities, Permit No. GP-0-20-001. The proposed project includes the removal of a portion of the existing impervious area and the installation of new impervious area. The redevelopment criteria in Chapter 9 (redevelopment activity) of the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual dated January, 2015 applies to this development. Additionally, the site is located within the Onondaga Lake Watershed and stormwater management practices are anticipated to be designed in accordance with Enhanced Phosphorus Removal Standards per the New York State Stormwater Design Manual. Since the existing condition is nearly 100% developed, post-development stormwater flows will not increase over existing conditions. The redevelopment site will be designed using the Design Manual’s Green Infrastructure “Five Step” Process for the site planning, which includes the following: On behalf of the Applicant, EDR prepared a Stormwater Utility Assessment (Appendix F).

B.6 Impacts on Air The proposed redevelopment will comply with all Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rules. If necessary, depending on the maximum potential output of the mobile or stationary generators used during construction, the Applicant will obtain a NY State Air Registration, an Air Facility Permit, and/or a Federal Clean Air Act Title IV or Title V Permit. Additionally, the project will not generate or emit methane. During demolition, if abatement is required contractors will maintain air monitoring and testing in accordance with NYS and OSHA protocol. During construction activities, dust control measures will be employed to limit dust migration beyond the site. Additionally, typical emissions will result from the operation of heavy machinery, natural gas generators, and rooftop HVAC equipment. During operation, emissions typical of multi-use developments are anticipated, such as those associated with delivery vehicles and public transportation to/from the project. 6 Page 51 B.6 Impacts on Air The proposed redevelopment will comply with all Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rules.

From an ecological perspective, this area is considered disturbed/developed land, which consists of a combination of several "cultural communities" as defined in the Ecological Communities of New York State (Edinger et al., 2014). Vegetation on-site is primarily lacking and provides little to no wildlife value. Over time, volunteer vegetation is expected to be generally sparse, and comprised of non-native, herbaceous species. While wildlife species adapted to human disturbance and activity may be occasionally observed on-site (e.g., squirrels, woodchucks, skunks, robins, crows, gulls, etc.), the Project will not result in any impacts to important wildlife behavior such as interference with migration, wintering, foraging, or breeding.

With respect to state or federally listed threatened or endangered species, a Threatened and Endangered Species Assessment was prepared (Appendix G). A preliminary desktop review of publicly available data was conducted to identify potential threatened or endangered species. The results of this analysis indicate that habitat for Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), both of which are state and federally listed as endangered, is located near the site. The desktop assessment also indicated that eastern massasauga rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus; federally listed as threatened) may be present in proximity to the site.

The results of this analysis indicate that habitat for Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), both of which are state and federally listed as endangered, is located near the site. The desktop assessment also indicated that eastern massasauga rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus; federally listed as threatened) may be present in proximity to the site. EDR personnel visited the site on January 10, 2023, to assess the potential for suitable habitat. No wetlands, wet areas, or surface waters were observed that would provide adequate habitat for Eastern massasauga rattlesnakes. Therefore, suitable massasauga habitat is not present on-site and impacts to this species are not anticipated. With respect to suitable habitat for listed bat species, EDR personnel observed a few (less than 10) trees at the edge of the site and in the site’s interior (associated with formerly maintained landscaping) with cavities and tree bark that could potentially provide summer roost habitat for Indiana bat and northern long-eared bat. However, according to Range-wide Indiana Bat & Northern Long-eared Bat Survey Guidelines for initial project screening, “if the project may result in adverse effect to Indiana bats and/or northern long-eared bats, but impacts can be adequately assessed and conservation measures can be designed to minimize those effects without additional presence/absence information...then no further surveys are recommended” (USFWS, 2022). Based on the presence of potential summer bat habitat, the conservation measure recommended to minimize potential effects, would be to clear potential roost trees only from October 1 to March 31. If a site is found to be less than 10 miles from a hibernaculum, tree clearing should occur only from October 31 to March 31. Specific to this Project, the nearest hibernaculum is in Jamesville, approximately 3 miles from the site. Therefore, tree clearing will be restricted to occur only from October 31 to March 31. Please see Appendix G for additional information. EDR personnel visited the site on January 10, 2023, to assess the potential for suitable habitat.

Agricultural activities do not occur within or proximate to the site. 7 Page 52 B.9 Impact on Aesthetic Resources As previously indicated, Shoppingtown Mall experienced rapid decline in the 2010’s and closed entirely in March 2020. Over this timeframe the mall gradually fell into disrepair and can now be considered a blight on the landscape (Appendix H provides a photo log depicting the current state of the site). Therefore, successful redevelopment of this site will eliminate an existing visual impact. However, to further evaluate the potential impact on aesthetic resources, a Visibility Assessment was prepared (Appendix I).

B.13 Impact on Transportation On behalf of the Applicant, GTS Consulting (GTS) conducted a Traffic Impact Study (Appendix K), which was prepared in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Highway Design Manual. As indicated in the Traffic Impact Study, a capacity analysis was performed in a manner consistent with the most recent version of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), using Synchro11 software. The HCM quantifies the quality of traffic flow in terms of levels of services (LOS), with a total of six LOSs (LOS A indicates a very low level of delay and LOS F indicates a high level of delay associated with congestion). Annual average daily traffic (AADT) volumes on Erie Boulevard, Kinne Road, and Genesee Street (2019) were obtained from the NYSDOT Traffic Data Viewer. New traffic counts were collected at 10 study area intersections in March and April 2022 during various traffic periods (e.g., weekend morning peak, weekday evening peak, Saturday midday peak). Additional traffic counts were collected in January 2023. The comparison of the 2022 volumes to the 2016 volumes showed an increase in current traffic volume (see Appendix K for additional detail). For the purposes of estimating future growth rates, 2027 was used as the design year for the traffic study. In addition to estimating future traffic growth, the Town of DeWitt was contacted and indicated that there are no specific approved developments at this time in that area that should be included in the projections.

Trips generated by the proposed redevelopment were estimated utilizing industry accepted standard methodology. The results of this analysis are provided in the “Trip Generation Summary” on Page 10 of Appendix K. The associated capacity analysis indicates a reduction in LOS at intersections near the Project site. However, mitigation measures are also proposed, and the Traffic Impact Study indicates that the proposed mitigation measures will result in all traffic movements operating within acceptable LOS. See Appendix K for additional information, including a detailed level of service, queue summary, and capacity analysis printouts for the proposed full build condition. The Traffic Impact Study was provided to NYSDOT on January 11, 2023 for review and comment. A written response from NYSDOT was received June 1, 2023. The NYSDOT has concluded that the project will not have any significant impact on traffic operations on the state’s highway network when combined with the mitigation outlined in its June 1, 2023 letter. 8 Page 53 Projected trip generation and distribution was then calculated.

With respect to proximity to schools, hospitals, licensed day care centers, group homes, nursing homes, or retirement communities, DeWitt Community Church is located at 3600 Erie Boulevard, on the west side of Erie Boulevard across the street from the southern portion of the Project site. DeWitt Community Church provides a nursery for young children during Sunday morning services and provides childcare during many of their adult education classes. However, the proposed redevelopment Project will not result in any impact to DeWitt Community Church. B.17 Consistency with Community Plans The proposed project is consistent with adopted land use plans. The Applicant has reviewed several plans that relate to the proposed project. The Town of DeWitt Sustainability Plan (2014) presents a case study of the Shoppingtown site. The case study identifies that the “Town of DeWitt lacks a dense town center or “Main Street”….The Town’s vision is that Shoppingtown Mall will be redeveloped as a vibrant mixed-use town center that could provide a cluster of economic activity and a focal point for the civic life of the town.” 10 Page 55 The plan also presents a “Sustainability Concept” map which identifies the Shoppingtown site within a “Mixed-Use Development Zone.” With respect to proximity to schools, hospitals, licensed day care centers, group homes, nursing homes, or retirement communities, DeWitt Community Church is located at 3600 Erie Boulevard, on the west side of Erie Boulevard across the street from the southern portion of the Project site.

The District East development site is identified in Map 5 as “H” which is Commercial: Retail, Office, Service/Mixed Use Residential where due to “excessive strip commercial development…” the plan identifies that “These areas could incorporate mixed-use development over time as determined appropriate.” Within the “Neighborhood Character” Goals and Actions, the plan identifies a goal to “Foster land use patterns that enhance livability and support civic life.” In addition, this section identifies the following action: 3. Explore potential areas where mixed-use development should be incorporated as related to the Town of DeWitt land use vision and develop appropriate updates to the Town of DeWitt zoning code. Review and update mixed use development guidelines in the existing code to establish preferred development densities as well as to optimize allowed uses based on existing zoning districts. Subsequent to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the town adopted §192-64.4 Mixed-Use Floating Overlay District to: (1) Encourage "Village Center" type development; (2) Achieve a compact pattern of development that encourages people to walk, ride a bicycle or use public transit; (3) Allow for a mix of uses, inclusive of residential, designed to attract pedestrians; The Town of DeWitt Comprehensive Plan Update (2017) provides an updated land-use vision in the “Land Use Character Areas” section.

The Applicant has been coordinating with the Town of DeWitt with respect to amendments to §192-64.4. Outside of the necessary code amendments, the applicant intends to comply with the applicable bulk requirements of the Town and does not anticipate that the project will require any variances. If the need for a variance did arise through the site plan review process the Applicant would work with the town to eliminate the need for a variance or make an application to the Town of DeWitt Zoning Board of Appeals as required to obtain any variances. B.18 Consistency with Community Character As previously indicated, the site of the proposed project began operation as an open-air shopping center in 1954, and was converted to an enclosed mall in the mid-1970’s. Redevelopment of the Shoppingtown Mall site into District East will recreate a hub of connectivity and vibrancy that improves pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connectivity between it and surrounding neighborhoods and districts consistent with the vision that has been established for this area by the Town of DeWitt in its planning documents. and as such an amendment to the town code will be required to facilitate the development as proposed.
