Environmental review context for 60 Alexander Street (SEQR / Negative Declaration)

For residents tracking the biggest held-over housing project on the docket, the NYSDEC Environmental Notice Bulletin for 60 Alexander Street describes a Negative Declaration under SEQR. It states the City of Yonkers Planning Board, as lead agency, determined the proposed rezoning and site plan will not have a significant adverse environmental impact—describing a rezoning from the I District to the D-MX District to permit a 30-story building with 288 dwelling units and related parking/infrastructure.
