Nov 03, 2025 Regular Stated Meeting of the Common Council

ALL IN FAVOR? I OPPOSED THE HEARING IS OPENED.

MR. MAYOR, COMMON COUNCIL PLANNING COMMISSIONER GOMEZ HERE.

JUST LIKE I DID IT.

LAST WEEK'S COMMON COUNCIL WORK SESSION.

I WANTED TO BEFORE THE PUBLIC GETS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS EVENING, I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH MY COMMUNICATION AND THE RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS TO THE TD TWO ZONING PETITION SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT REGARDING THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE GALLERIA MALL, AS WELL AS CERTAIN CITY OWNED PROPERTY.

SO A LITTLE CONTEXT.

EVEN AFTER THE LAST MONDAY'S MEETING, I'D HEARD FROM SOME FOLKS AND SOME INFORMATION ABOUT SORT OF THE THE HISTORY AND HOW THIS CAME ABOUT.

SO I WANTED TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW.

UM, IT'S BEEN OVER FOUR YEARS BETWEEN THE CITY'S ADOPTION OF THE ONE WHITE PLAINS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN TERMS OF PUBLIC OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES.

UM, A LOT OF IT AROUND THE DEVELOPMENT OF DOWNTOWN, PARTICULARLY WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SITE IN THE CITY, WHICH IS, OF COURSE, THE FORMER GALLERIA MALL.

AND THEN I'LL NOTE IN A SECOND, THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER SEAC OR THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL WATER REVIEW ACT, AND SORT OF THE PUBLIC OUTREACH AS WELL THERE AND PUBLIC OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMENT.

AND THEN THREE, WE ARE AGAIN AT THIS ADJOURNS PUBLIC HEARING THAT STARTED BACK IN EARLY 2025, JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.

AND THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT PUBLIC HEARING UNDER THE CITY ZONING CODE, IN WHICH CASE THE PUBLIC CAN BE HEARD.

SO QUICK COMMERCIAL.

I TALKED ABOUT THIS AT LENGTH.

I WON'T GO INTO AS MUCH DETAIL THIS EVENING.

YOU KNOW, LAST WEEK'S WORK SESSION, BUT THIS IS A COMMERCIAL FOR THE CITY'S RECENTLY ADOPTED ONE WHITE PLAINS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

FOR ANYBODY WATCHING, UH, CLICK ON THE SCREEN HERE AND YOU CAN KIND OF GO RIGHT TO THE WEBSITE, BUT IT IS AT ONE WHITE PLAINS DOT COM.

WE HAVE AN ONLINE COMPENDIUM AND SORT OF APP THAT WE DID AS WELL, WHICH KIND OF ARE VERY CONCISELY.

WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THIS REALLY CONCISELY.

PUT 2 TO 3 YEARS WORTH OF WORK AND PUBLIC VISIONING INTO A SINGLE DOCUMENT THAT CAN BE ACCESSED FROM THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.

SO I DID WANT TO HIT ON THE THREE MAJOR INITIATIVES IN THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT RELATE TO THE GALLERIA SITE.

WHY THIS IS SO CRITICAL IS BECAUSE UNDER NEW YORK STATE LAW, WHENEVER WE DO CHANGE THE CITY'S ZONING CODE, IT NEEDS TO BE IN LINE OR CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO AGAIN, I THOUGHT IT'D BE GOOD JUST TO SET THE STAGE AND VERY SPECIFICALLY HIT THESE THREE ITEMS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT RELATE TO THE GALLERIA SITE OR THE FORMER GALLERIA SITE.

THE BIGGEST ONE IS IN LIVE WHITE PLAINS TEN.

REALLY TALKING ABOUT REDEVELOPING THIS INTO A WORLD CLASS MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.

WE DID HEAR A LOT THROUGHOUT THE PUBLIC PLANNING PROCESS ABOUT THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING, OPEN SPACE, ENTERTAINMENT AND THE LIKE, AND REALLY TRYING TO GET A CENTRAL CITY GREEN OR PARK IN THE HEART OF OUR DOWNTOWN.

UM, THERE'S ALSO VERY SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE PLAN ABOUT A DENSITY BONUS.

SO AS WE LOOK TO CHANGE THE LAND USE REGULATIONS THAT PERMIT DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE, HOW CAN THE CITY REALLY MONETIZE THAT AS A PUBLIC BENEFIT? SORT OF A DENSITY BONUS MENU WE'LL GET INTO AS PROPOSED IN A MOMENT.

THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF DISCUSSION THROUGHOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE PUBLIC OUTREACH ABOUT THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL PARKS IN THE HEART OF OUR AND THE CORE OF OUR DOWNTOWN, AND VERY SPECIFICALLY THIS NEED FOR A CENTRAL GREEN OR CENTRAL PARK, UH, REALLY SIGNATURE PLACE REALLY IDENTIFIED MOST SUCCESSFULLY, WE BELIEVE, ON COURT STREET AND MAIN STREET, RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE CITY'S EXISTING RENAISSANCE PLAZA, AS WELL AS THE COURT STREET, YOU KNOW, AREA WHERE WE HOLD MANY EVENTS THE CITY, THE BID FARMERS MARKET, ETC.

SO THIS WAS DEFINITELY CALLED OUT VERY SPECIFICALLY AS WE LOOK TO REZONE AND CHANGE LAWS TO ENHANCE OUR DOWNTOWN, INCENTIVIZE THIS SORT OF DEVELOPMENT.

AND THE THIRD ONE I WON'T BELABOR HERE, BUT THIS ONE WAS REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE STREETSCAPE.

I KNOW THE MAYOR DOES A GREAT TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE GREAT WALL OF GALLERIA AS YOU WALK FROM THE TRAIN STATION TO THE HEART AND THE CORE OF OUR DOWNTOWN AT MAMARONECK AND MAIN, HOW THIS IS, YOU KNOW, A QUITE A BIG MULTI BLOCK WALL THAT DOES NOT ENGAGE THE PEDESTRIAN, DOES NOT INCREASE KIND OF THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE.

AND ARE THERE WAYS OBVIOUSLY THROUGH REDEVELOPMENT WE CAN KIND OF GET BACK AND RE KNITTING THE URBAN FABRIC THAT WE SORT OF LOST IN SOME REGARDS DURING THE URBAN RENEWAL ERA OF THE CITY.

SO THOSE THREE VERY SPECIFIC INITIATIVES I WANTED TO CALL OUT AND I WANTED TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, DRAW THROUGH LINE AND PROPOSED ZONING CHANGES I'M MAKING THIS EVENING HOW WE CAN REALLY MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE DO AS A CITY CAN ENHANCE AND EFFECTUATE THESE PARTICULAR RECOMMENDATIONS.

THIS IS THE FAMOUS CHART I PUT THIS UP FOR MR. CALLAHAN, WHO HATES THIS CHART, BUT I TOLD HIM I WAS GOING TO DO IT ONE LAST TIME BACK IN 2010.

[00:25:01]

I HEAR THE GROANS BEHIND ME ARE LITERALLY OVER TWO YEARS AGO.

THIS IS KIND OF SETTING THE STAGE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW THAT WE DID HAVE TO CONDUCT AS LEAD AGENCY, THE COMMON COUNCIL HERE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANALYZING ANY POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS THAT A PARTICULAR REZONING AND ULTIMATE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE WOULD HAVE.

AND SO THIS IS I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM, ONLY TO SAY THAT MOST RECENT COUNCIL ACTION IN SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR, UM, THE COUNCIL DID ADOPT FINDINGS BASICALLY MAKING THE CASE THAT WHATEVER RECOMMENDED MITIGATION MEASURES WE HAD IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS WOULD ENSURE THAT A LOT OF THE SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS, OR ALL OF THEM, FRANKLY, WOULD BE MITIGATED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PRACTICABLE.

AND HERE WE ARE THIS EVENING, ONCE WE CONCLUDED THE SECRET ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.

WE STILL HAVE THIS.

WE STILL HAVE THIS ZONING PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE AT THIS EVENING.

ONCE THIS HEARING IS CLOSED, THE COUNCIL DOES HAVE THE ABILITY THEN TO TAKE ACTION ON THE ZONING THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED TO BE CHANGED IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING.

AND THEN AND ONLY THEN, AS I'VE ALWAYS SAID, ONCE THE ZONING, ANY ZONING IS ADOPTED, THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK WITH A VERY SPECIFIC SITE PLAN THAT HAS A LOT MORE DETAIL BEYOND THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT'S BEEN ANALYZED.

SO THAT CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, OR CDP, WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE LAST TWO YEARS OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.

THIS IS THE MODIFIED FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT.

CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE BASIS OF WHICH WAS YOUR FINDING ON SEPTEMBER 2ND FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERSPECTIVE.

IT CONSISTS OF, AS YOU SEE HERE, SEVEN TOWERS, FOUR LARGE TOWERS AND TWO SMALL ONES ON MARTIN ARE RELATIVELY SHORT.

BUT THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN ILLUSTRATION OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FROM A CONCEPTUAL PERSPECTIVE.

AND THIS IS LOOKING FROM MARTIN AVENUE NORTH, THE THE LIBRARIES AND THE FOREGROUND AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING.

BUT THAT WOULD KIND OF GIVE YOU A PERSPECTIVE OF THOSE TWO LOWER RISE ON MARTIN AND THEN THE OTHER LARGER BUILDINGS, APPROXIMATELY 3000 DWELLING UNITS, OVER 3000 PARKING SPACES AND ALMOST 100,000FT OF COMMERCIAL RETAIL SPACE BEING PROPOSED WITHIN THAT CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

SO TO WHAT I'M PROPOSING, AND SPEAKING VERY SPECIFICALLY TO COMMUNICATION, THAT WAS OUT BOTH FOR THE MEETING ON THE 27TH AND AGAIN FOR THIS COUNCIL MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING.

THE CITY'S PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS REALLY DUG IN AND AND WORK TO ESTABLISH WE THINK 4 OR 5 MAJOR FOUR AND A HALF MAJOR CHANGES.

ONE IS REALLY TWO ABOUT HOW WE THINK WE CAN CHANGE WHAT'S BEEN PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT TO REALLY BRING THE ZONING IN LINE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN VISION WE ESTABLISHED LAST YEAR WAS OR IS FOR THE SITE.

THE FIRST IS REALLY INCREASING THE REQUIRED LAND ENABLE TO HAVE SORT OF DEVELOPMENT IN THIS NEW TRANSIT DISTRICT TWO ZONING DISTRICT, AND THAT IS TO INCREASE THE ORIGINAL APPLICANT'S 300,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT AREA MINIMUM, UP TO 400,000FT, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY AKIN TO ALMOST TEN ACRES, A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN TEN ACRES.

SECONDLY, TO ENSURE THAT A LOT OF THE GREAT GREEN SPACE WE SAW AND WE HAVE CONTINUOUSLY SEEN THROUGHOUT THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING PROCESS IS ACTUALLY REQUIRED, WE WANT TO ALSO INCREASE THAT USABLE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENT THROUGH THE CITY ZONING CODE THAT WE HAVE ON THE BOOKS AS APPLIED TO THIS NEW DISTRICT FROM 30% UP TO 40% OF THE SITE.

RELATIVE TO BUILDING HEIGHT, THIS PROJECT AND CONCEPT DID CHANGE OVER THE TWO YEARS.

FRANKLY, THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF SEEKER, RIGHT? JUST TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC AND LOOK AT SORT OF DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF PARTICULAR CONCEPTS AS IT RELATES TO A POTENTIAL REZONING.

AND SO WHAT WAS FOUND HERE IS REALLY A RECOGNITION THAT THERE'S GREAT, GREAT VALUE IN AT GRADE, PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE OPEN SPACE.

SO AS THE ITERATIONS OF THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN CHANGED OVER THE YEARS, UM, THERE'S A NEED TO KIND OF CORRECT SORT OF THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT, AND IT'S SPLIT INTO KIND OF TWO COHORTS.

ONE IS AS YOU GET CLOSE TO COURT STREET, INCREASING UP TO 420FT.

AND THEN THE THE FORMER SEARS BLOCK, UH, AS IDENTIFIED IN THE TRANSIT DISTRICT PLAN THE CITY ADOPTED YEARS AGO, HAD REALLY TALKED ABOUT HEIGHTS OF UP TO 450FT CLOSER TO THE TRAIN STATION ON THE SEARS BLOCK.

AND THAT'S ALL TIED TO A VERY SPECIFIC DISTANCE FROM THE METRO-NORTH PLATFORM, SO THAT 30 FOOT DIFFERENCE IS REALLY BREAKING THE MACY'S AND THE SEARS BLOCK.

ACCORDINGLY, WHAT I WILL SAY FOR FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN CONCERNED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF HEIGHT OF THE BUILDINGS, I WILL NOTE THAT THE ENTIRE CB4 ZONING, ALL THE ZONING AROUND THE SITE ALREADY OF THIS SCALE OF THIS SIZE LOT DOES PERMIT HEIGHTS AT THAT.

SO IT'S RIGHT IN LINE WITH THE CITY'S CORE DOWNTOWN BUILDING HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS.

NUMBER THREE, WE HEARD A LOT, AS I SAID, IN THE COMP PLAN PROCESS, ABOUT THE NEED TO REALLY HAVE THE SIGNATURE PUBLIC SPACE.

[00:30:03]

AND WHILE THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS TO THE CITY BY THE APPLICANT HAS ALWAYS SHOWN A LARGE PUBLIC, CONTIGUOUS OPEN SPACE AT THE CORNER OF COURT STREET IN MAIN.

WE THOUGHT IT PRUDENT TO RECOMMEND THAT THAT BE PUT AS A REQUIREMENT, A MANDATE WITHIN THE ZONING TEXT, BECAUSE, AS WE KNOW, CONCEPTUAL PLANS CAN CHANGE THROUGH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE AS A CITY ENSURES AS A MINIMUM OF 30,000FT OF, WITH A MINIMUM DIMENSION OF NO LESS THAN 160FT, WITH ALL SORTS OF GREAT PROGRAMMING AND ACTIVITIES THAT IS PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE AT THAT CORNER.

SO THAT WAS SOMETHING WE DEFINITELY WANTED TO TO PUT FORTH.

AND THIS IS KIND OF AN ILLUSTRATION OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AND TO CLOSE, UM, PROBABLY THE BIGGEST CHANGE THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING, UH, IS AND THIS IS RIGHT OUT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE LIVE WHITE PLAINS TEN INITIATIVE, THIS DENSITY BONUS IDEA, UH, NOT TO GET TOO WONKY INTO SORT OF THE ZONING PARLANCE, BUT BASICALLY THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED A ZONING PETITION TO THE CITY THAT SAID THAT BASICALLY A CERTAIN LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT, A FLOOR AREA RATIO, THE RATIO BETWEEN THE AMOUNT YOU CAN BUILD AND THE SIZE OF THE LOT SHOULD BE 7.5, WHICH WOULD BE THE BIGGEST IN THE CITY.

AND WE'RE PROPOSING TO REDUCE THAT AND THEN HAVE A BONUS MECHANISM TO KIND OF CAPTURE THAT INCREMENTAL DENSITY BEYOND WHAT'S CUSTOMARY IN OUR CORE DOWNTOWN.

AND IMPORTANTLY, WE'VE GOTTEN THIS QUESTION AS WELL.

ANY OF THAT BONUS EXTRA FLOOR AREA IN EXCHANGE FOR THESE PUBLIC BENEFITS WOULD NEED TO BE CONTEMPORANEOUS IN A PHASE PROJECT.

SO YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO GET THE BENEFIT OF THAT ADDITIONAL FLOOR AREA UNTIL WHICH TIME THOSE PUBLIC BENEFITS ARE CONFERRED, AND THAT CAN APPLY TO FUTURE PHASES AS WELL.

SO THIS WAS THE MENU I TALKED ABOUT AND WHAT'S BEEN PROPOSED IN THE COUNCIL PACKET.

THERE WOULD BE THREE SPECIFIC KIND OF MENU ITEMS THAT WOULD GIVE YOU ADDITIONAL FLOOR AREA RATIO IF ACHIEVED.

THE FIRST IS THAT ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WHICH TOTALS 25% THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SITE AND THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

THE SECOND IS THE PROVISION OF A 80,000 AT GRADE, PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE OPEN SPACE, WHICH WAS CLEARLY TIED TO THE PLAY WHITE PLAINS.

AND THEN THE LARGEST AREA RATIO BONUS PROPOSED HERE WOULD BE THE CREATION OF MUNICIPAL ENTERTAINMENT OR EVENT SPACE TO BE DEEDED TO THE CITY OF AT LEAST 20,000FT, AND THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THESE ARE THE THREE THAT COMPLETELY ALIGN WITH THE TEXT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ENSURE THAT THE PUBLIC IS GETTING A REQUISITE BENEFIT.

SO I DID THAT FAIRLY QUICKLY.

BUT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE THE PUBLIC SPEAKS OR WE CAN HEAR YOU.

BACK TO US.

I DIDN'T HAVE A COPY OF THAT AND THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.

I KNOW YOU ALSO WERE GOING TO HAVE IT POSTED AS WELL, RIGHT? I THINK THE CLERK DID, I THINK OKAY, ON THE MINUTES, BUT WE'LL MAKE SURE IT'S UP.

JUST HAVE IT.

IF YOU COULD GET IT EMAIL TO US, THAT'D BE GREAT.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO BE HEARD? AND I.

ALL RIGHT.

AND YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE HEARD.

I JUST WANT TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS.

UM, FIVE MINUTES IS, UH.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE IT ALL, BUT YOU HAVE IT, AND AND WE JUST ASK THAT YOU GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, AND SO, UM.

YES, SIR.

COME ON UP.

THAT'S YOU, ALAN.

I SEE ONE AND TWO ALREADY, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON FROM THERE.

OKAY.

IT'S TROUBLE UP HERE.

MY NAME IS ALAN MARTIN TRAUB, 11 OLD FARM CIRCLE, WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK, 10605.

UM, AS EVERYBODY KNOWS, THE FIRST TIME I STEPPED FOOT IN WHITE PLAINS WAS 1959, WHEN I WAS A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL.

UM, TONIGHT, I RECOMMEND THAT THE COMMON COUNCIL ADJOURN THE ITEMS ONE AND TWO.

REGARDING THE PETITION SUBMITTED BY THE GALLERY DEVELOPER TO AMEND THE CITY'S ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.

ON OCTOBER 26TH, 2025, I EMAILED THE WRITTEN PRESENTATION WITH ATTACHMENTS, WHICH I'M HANDING OUT TONIGHT, SO THE MAYOR AND THE COMMON COUNCIL MEMBERS COULD CONSIDER THE WRITTEN PRESENTATIONS.

FIVE QUESTIONS RAISED REGARDING THE GALLERY OF DEVELOPER'S PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT AT THE COMMON COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING AND EXECUTIVE SESSION OF OCTOBER 27TH, 2025.

UM, TONIGHT.

[00:35:03]

UM, GIVEN THE FIVE MINUTE LIMIT, UH, LIMITATION TO SPEAK, I'M JUST GOING TO DISCUSS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE STATEMENT BY PLANNING COMMISSIONER GOMEZ IN EXHIBIT SEVEN OF HIS OCTOBER OF 24 2525 LETTER TO THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND THE EXCHANGE BETWEEN COUNCIL MEMBER JEREMIAH FREI-PEARSON, PLANNING COMMISSIONER CHRISTOPHER GOMES AND MARK WEINGARTNER GORTON, REPRESENTING THE GALLERY OF DEVELOPMENT AT THE OCTOBER 27TH, 2025 COMMON COUNCIL MEETING.

THERE ARE THREE MAJOR NEGOTIATIONS THAT SHOULD BE CONCLUDED BEFORE THE COMMON COUNCIL ACTS ON THE PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT.

FIRST, THE CURRENT MULTIPLE ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE GALLERY AND DEVELOPER AND NEW YORK STATE AND THE CITY SHOULD BE CONCLUDED, SO THE AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE IS KNOWN TO CONSTRUCT THE 810 AFFORDABLE UNITS FOR 40% TO 60% AMI HOUSEHOLDS.

02,727% OF THE GALLERY OF 3001 APARTMENTS IN THE CURRENT FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT PASSED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL ON PASSED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL IN JULY.

SECOND, NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE GALLERY OF DEVELOPMENT MUST BE CONCLUDED FOR THE SALE OF THE FOUR ACRE PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE.

BY CONCLUDING THESE PARKING GARAGE NEGOTIATIONS.

THE WHITE PLAINS PUBLIC WILL HAVE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CITY HAS DONE EVERYTHING IN ITS POWER TO PROVIDE FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE GALLERY OF PROJECT.

THIRD, THE CITY MUST NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE A TERM SHEET WITH THE GALLERY DEVELOPER.

SO THE COMMISSIONER GOMES.

EXHIBIT SEVEN HAS SUBSTANCE.

EXHIBIT SEVEN PROVIDES AND I'LL READ THIS ADDITIONAL AFFORDING HOUSING UNITS.

THE PROVISION OF PROVISION OF ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE UNITS EXCEEDING THE REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED AND THE WHITE PLAINS MUNICIPAL CODE, SUCH THAT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AFFORDABLE UNITS IS NOT LESS THAN 25% OF THE TOTAL UNITS WITH THE PROJECT.

THE ADDITIONAL UNITS MAY BE LOCATED WITHIN A SINGLE BUILDING OR DISTRIBUTED ACROSS MULTIPLE BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT SITE.

THAT'S COMMISSIONER GOMEZ'S EXHIBIT SEVEN.

THIS AMENDMENT TO POSSIBLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE UNITS, NOT LESS THAN 25% OF THE TOTAL OF THE GALLERIA PROJECT, IS JUST ASPIRATIONAL TOWARDS PROVIDING AFFORDABLE UNITS FOR WHITE PLAINS RESIDENTS.

THE AMENDMENT MUST BE SUPPORTED BE SUPPORTED BY PROVIDING ASSURANCES THAT, IN FACT, THE GALLERY AND DEVELOPER WILL ADHERE TO THE REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE 810 AFFORDABLE UNITS FOR 46% TO 60% AMI HOUSEHOLDS HOLDS 27% OF THE 3001 APARTMENTS WITHOUT AN AFFORDABLE TERM SHEET BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE GALLERIA DEVELOPER.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE AFFORDABLE UNITS WILL BE SUBJECT TO REQUESTS A TO DELAY THE ENTIRE PROJECT, B FOR THE BUYOUTS OF THE AFFORDABLE UNITS, AND SEE REDUCTION OF THE PERCENTAGE OF THE AFFORDABLE UNITS.

AN EXAMPLE OF SUCH A TERM SHEET THE CITY SHOULD CONSIDER IS INCORPORATED IN A LETTER DATED JULY 5TH, 2025, SENT TO THE MAYOR AND MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THE HISTORY OF THE CITY, OPERATING WITHOUT SUCH A TERM SHEET CONFIRMS THAT SUCH PROBLEMS WILL ARISE TO DEFEAT THE EFFORT TO REQUIRE THE GALLERY OF DEVELOPER TO PROVIDE 27% AFFORDABLE UNITS ON A TIMELY BASIS.

FOR EXAMPLE, LACKING SUCH A TERM SHEET HAS RESULTED IN EGREGIOUS DELAYS OF THE $500 MILLION DOLLAR 800 APARTMENT IN WESTCHESTER BUILDINGS.

66 SOUTH BROADWAY PROJECT LEAVING AN ENORMOUS HOLE IN THE GROUND SINCE 2016 WITHOUT A TERM SHEET, THE CITY RISKS BOTH CONTINUING NEGOTIATIONS REGARDING THE NUMBER AND TIMING OF BUILDING AFFORDABLE UNITS, OR WORSE, AN 11 ACRE HOLE IN THE GROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY.

ANOTHER REASON FOR THE COMMON COUNCIL TO ADJOURN THE PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT IS THAT IN TWO MONTHS, A NEW CITY ADMINISTRATION CONSISTS CONSISTING OF A NEW MAYOR AND TWO, POSSIBLY THREE NEW COMMON COUNCIL.

MEMBERS WILL BE SWORN IN ON JANUARY 2026.

MAYOR ROACH COMMON COUNCIL MEMBERS MARTIN AND.

[00:40:05]

PUJA WILL NOT HAVE ANY CONTINUING RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING THE GALLERIA PROJECT AFTER DECEMBER 31ST, 2025.

HELLO. MY NAME IS JOEL ROJAS.

I'M A UNION REPRESENTATIVE FOR LOCAL 32.

I'M HERE WITH MY COLLEAGUES.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE OUR COMMENTS TO TRY TO STICK TO THE FIVE MINUTES.

LIKE I SAID, MY NAME IS JOEL ROJAS.

I USED TO BE THE UNION REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CLEANERS AT GALLERIA MALL.

UH, THERE WERE SEVERAL CLEANERS WHO MADE THEIR LIVING AND SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES WORKING AT THE GALLERIA.

IT WAS A SAD MOMENT WHEN OUR COMMUNITY WENT ON.

THE GALLERIA MALL CLOSED.

NOW WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A STEP FORWARD AND CREATE A NEW GALLERIA THAT MEETS THE CURRENT NEEDS OF THE CITY.

AS WE TAKE THE STEPS FORWARD, OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HOUSE, HOUSING.

WE CANNOT TAKE A STEP BACKWARDS ON LABOR STANDARDS.

THE DEVELOPERS SHOULD MEET WITH THE UNION AND COMMIT TO LIVING ON A BUILDING.

SERVICE WORKERS AT THE NEW GALLERIA HAVE ACCESS TO A GOOD WAGE, WAGES AND MEANINGFUL BENEFITS LIKE WORKERS AT THE OLD GALLERIA HAD.

I'M EXCITED FOR THE POTENTIAL OF THIS PROJECT AND HOPEFULLY THAT IT CAN BE WITH THE GOOD WORKING BENEFITS.

I'LL MAKE IT THREE MINUTES.

HELLO, MY NAME IS ALBERT SANTIAGO, AND FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENTIAL WORKER HERE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY AND A PROUD MEMBER OF LOCAL 32, BJ AS A INTENDING.

THE WORK I DO EVERY DAY KEEPS MY BUILDING SAFE AND CLEAN FOR RESIDENTS LONG AFTER A BUILDING IS BUILT.

IT IS US BUILDING SERVICE WORKERS WHO MAKE SURE THAT IT REMAINS A HEALTHY, VIBRANT COMMUNITY ACROSS WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

UNION RESIDENTIAL WORKERS HAVE ACCESS TO GOOD WAGES, MEANINGFUL BENEFITS LIKE HEALTH CARE AND DIGNITY AT OUR WORKPLACE.

ALL RESIDENTIAL WORKERS DESERVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE.

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT.

AS YOU CONSIDER THE GALLERIA PROJECT, YOU THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO WILL WORK THERE FOR YEARS TO COME.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THOSE WORKERS WHO WHO WILL BE A PERMANENT PART OF THE COMMUNITY CAN ALSO TAKE, TAKE EXCUSE ME, TAKE THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.

I URGE THE DEVELOPER TO MEET WITH 32 BJ BEFORE THE FINAL SITE PLAN REVIEW TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO GOOD JOBS AND GALLERY WORKERS, AND I HOPE THE ZONING BOARD WILL DO THE SAME.

I AM THE HUDSON VALLEY DISTRICT LEADER FOR LOCAL 32.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS DYLAN VALLE.

BJ SEIU 32 BGA IS A MEMBER DRIVEN UNION REPRESENTING 190,000 BUILDING SERVICE WORKERS LIKE THE SUPERS, HANDYMEN, CONCIERGE, PORTERS, SECURITY GUARDS AND CLEANERS WHO WORK HARD TO KEEP YOUR HOMES AND OFFICES SAFE AND CLEAN.

AS WHITE PLAINS CONTINUES TO GROW AND THRIVE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LANDLORDS PROFITING IN THE CITY ACT RESPONSIBLY AND RESPECT THE COMMUNITIES THEY DEPEND ON FOR THEIR SUCCESS.

AS THE UNION WHO REPRESENTED CLEANERS IN THE FORMER GALLERIA MALL, WE ARE EXCITED AT THE POSSIBILITY OF SEEING THE SPACE REDEVELOPED AND NEW LIFE BROUGHT TO THE DOWNTOWN WHITE PLAINS.

FURTHERMORE, AS BUILDING SERVICE WORKERS, WE HAVE SEEN THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFIT THAT NEW RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION CAN BRING TO COMMUNITIES WHEN THEY'RE DONE RIGHT.

THAT'S WHY IT IS IMPORTANT.

IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS PROJECT IS DONE RIGHT.

TO DATE.

DESPITE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, 32 BGA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO SECURE A MEETING WITH THE CAPPELLI ORGANIZATION TO TALK ABOUT LABOR STANDARDS FOR THE FOR THE SUPERS, HANDYMEN, PORTERS, CONCIERGE, CLEANERS, AND THE MAINTENANCE STAFF AND GUARDS WHO WILL PERMANENTLY WHO WILL PERMANENTLY SERVICE THE BUILDINGS.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ADDING POTENTIALLY DOZENS OF NEW JOBS TO DOWNTOWN WHITE PLAINS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE THE TYPES OF JOBS THAT WILL ALLOW WORKERS TO RAISE A FAMILY IN WHITE PLAINS.

THEY NEED TO HAVE THE TYPES OF FAMILY SUSTAINING WAGES AND GOOD BENEFITS THAT OTHER RESIDENTIAL WORKERS ACROSS THE CITY ENJOY.

WE WANT THIS PROJECT TO HAPPEN, BUT WE WANT IT TO HAPPEN IN THE RIGHT WAY.

THAT MEANS FAIR TREATMENT FOR BUILDING SERVICE WORKERS.

CAPPELLI CAN PROVE THEIR COMMITMENT TO BEING A RESPONSIBLE COMMUNITY PARTNER BY MEETING WITH US TO BEGIN

[00:45:02]

THAT CONVERSATION, WE ENCOURAGE THE ZONING BOARD TO THINK ABOUT THE IMPACT THIS REZONING WILL HAVE ON THE BUILDING SERVICE SECTOR IN WHITE PLAINS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE BOARD DECIDES TONIGHT, WE INTEND TO BE PROMINENT.

A PROMINENT COMMUNITY VOICE ADVOCATING FOR LABOR STANDARDS AS WE HEAD INTO THE NIGHT.

THE SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

COULD YOU JUST RESTATE YOUR NAME FOR THE COLOR? YES. MY NAME IS DILLON DILLON.

MY LAST NAME IS VAAL.

V IS IN VICTOR ALLEY.

I'M A PROUD WHITE PLAINS ALUM.

I GREW UP ON BATTLE HILL.

MY GRANDPARENTS LIVED ON A WEST VIEW.

MY PARENTS.

MY UNCLE IS ON CRANE AVENUE, AND MY PARENTS CURRENTLY LIVE IN PARKWAY HOMES.

I'M A LONG TERM WHITE PLAINS RESIDENT.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO BE HEARD ON THIS MATTER? PLEASE COME UP.

OH I.

DID.

ROBERTA.

GREEN RIDGE AVENUE, WHITE PLAINS.

I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN WHITE PLAINS.

THE GALLERY IS THERE TO SERVICE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

AND AS IT'S PLAN, IT'S GOING TO SERVICE BASICALLY RESIDENTS AND A LOT OF THE INFORMATION IS INACCURATE IS INACCURATE.

A P3 FIRM SHOULD BE HIRED TO OVERSEE EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE AS AN ATTORNEY, MR. MAYOR, YOU SAID IT AT RIDGEVIEW.

EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO AND YOU SAY YOU'RE VERY CAREFUL WITH IT.

SO IF ANOTHER ATTORNEY IS POINTING OUT INFORMATION THAT IS INACCURATE, HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU VOTE ON THAT TODAY? HOW CAN YOU ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT WAS PUT FORWARD WITHOUT HAVING A PROFESSIONAL OVERSEE THE ENTIRE PROJECT FOR THE COMMUNITY? WE NEED SOMEBODY ON OUR SIDE.

YOU HAVE YOUR IDEAS, BUT WHO IS PROTECTING US? SO A P3 FIRM IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY RIGHT NOW.

YOU SHOULD ADJOURNED THIS HIRE P3 FIRM AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS FOLLOWED.

FURTHERMORE, A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THINGS THAT MORE FAVOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

MAYBE A CHELSEA PIERS TYPE OF THING ADDED IN THERE.

YOU'RE LOOKING TO SELL THE GARAGE STRUCTURE AND YOU'RE BUILDING RESIDENTS.

WHAT IS THERE FOR THE REST OF THE COMMUNITIES? HIGHLANDS. ROSEDALE.

RIDGEVIEW. WHAT IS THERE FOR US? THERE'S NOTHING.

WE COULD USE SOMETHING THAT BRINGS EVERYBODY TOGETHER.

YOU HIRED AN ARCHITECT FOR YOUR SENIOR YOUTH PROGRAM.

MEANWHILE, YOU HAVE FOUR ACRES OF LAND THAT YOU COULD BUILD UPON.

TO DO SO, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO GIVE THEM 450FT OF HEIGHT IN NEW YORK CITY, THEY WANT UP 69 STORIES FOR THE VANDERBILT.

FOR ONE VANDERBILT.

THEY GOT $200 MILLION WORTH OF WORK DONE TO GRAND CENTRAL STATION.

THAT'S LEVERAGE THAT WE HAVE.

IF THEY WANT TO BUILD UP, WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

IT WAS NOTED HERE.

LENNY, LOIS TOLD YOU WE HAVE PARKING GARAGES THAT ARE CLOSED.

WHAT ARE WE USING WHEN WE'RE GOING TO BE GIVING SOMETHING UP TO A DEVELOPER? WHAT ARE WE GETTING? THE CITY AND THE TAXPAYERS NEED TO GET SOMETHING.

YOU'RE WORKING WITH A DEVELOPER WHO IS THERE FOR US.

A P3 FIRM LIKE VALENTE THAT OVERSAW THE FARLEY BUILDING, THE POST OFFICE IN MANHATTAN THAT GOVERNOR CUOMO HIRED TO OVERSEE THE PROJECT SEPARATED GOVERNMENT FROM THE DEVELOPER.

SO IF SOMEBODY LIKE COUNCILMAN BRASH DOESN'T SAY, WE'RE GOING TO GET ALL THIS STUFF AND IT'S NOT ACCURATE.

SO WHO IS THERE FOR US? THERE'S NOBODY.

THIS SHOULD BE ADJOURNED.

A P3 FIRM SHOULD BE HIRED FOR US TO PROTECT US, THE TAXPAYERS.

WE'RE THE ONES THAT ARE PAYING YOUR SALARY.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE SUPPOSED TO BE HEARD WITH A PART OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING? COME ON UP.

MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE FIRST.

MY NAME IS ROBERT LE BOYER, AND I LIVE AT FOUR MARTIN AVENUE, DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE SITE OF THE GALLERIA.

AND THIS IS MY SECOND MEETING REGARDING THIS PROJECT.

I'VE COME BACK BECAUSE I WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED WHEN I SAW THE SIZE AND SCALE OF THE PROJECT THE FIRST TIME, AND I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF THE ZONING OR HAVE NO OTHER INTERESTS OTHER THAN AS A NEIGHBOR AND TAXPAYER IN WHITE PLAINS.

I ASKED YOU TO CONSIDER THE INFRASTRUCTURE, AS SOME OF THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS HAVE HAVE REFERRED TO, AND THE IDEA OF 3000 APARTMENTS BEING CONSTRUCTED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WHITE PLAINS WHEN I MOVED TO THE CITY.

BANK STREET WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

WE'VE HAD MANY PROJECTS ALL AROUND THE CITY CONTINUUM.

THE PARKING LOT ACROSS FROM THE TRAIN STATION IS NOW AN APARTMENT BUILDING.

[00:50:03]

THERE'S THE OLD WHITE PLAINS MALL SITE.

THAT IS ANOTHER LARGE PROJECT, AND THE IDEA OF FIVE TOWERS IS A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND CARS TO BE PUTTING RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF WHITE PLAINS.

AND NOW I TAKE THE TRAIN TO THE CITY.

SOMETIMES I USE MY CAR FOR BUSINESS, AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THE TRAIN PLATFORM AND THE NUMBER OF SPARE SEATS HAVE REALLY CHANGED DRAMATICALLY, THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE GRIDLOCK DURING PEAK HOURS ALL THE WAY DOWN MARTIN AVENUE, HAMILTON AND EVEN CORPUS AND BANK STREET HAVE GRIDLOCK AS PEOPLE LEAVE TO GO TO I-287 OR THE BRONX RIVER PARKWAY.

WE DON'T WANT THE CITY TO BE OVERBUILT AND OVERCROWDED.

THAT'S ONE THING THAT YOU CAN'T GET BACK.

ONCE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS BUILT.

I'D ALSO MENTION THAT THE HOSPITALS, POLICE AND FIRE WILL HAVE AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN OF ALL OF THESE NEW APARTMENTS.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I HAD A BEE STING AND HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION THAT SENT ME TO WHITE PLAINS EMERGENCY ROOM, AND AFTER WAITING QUITE A WHILE, I SAT IN A FOLDING CHAIR IN THE HALLWAY AS I WAS TREATED.

LUCKILY IT WASN'T MUCH AND THAT WAS OKAY.

BUT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, THE HOSPITALS, THE POLICE, THE FIRE, THE HIGHWAYS ALL ARE THINGS THAT THE NEIGHBORS HAVE A LONG TERM STAKE IN.

AND I ASK YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER THESE THINGS BEFORE APPROVING SUCH A MASSIVE PROJECT.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO BE HEARD AS PART OF THE PUBLIC HEARING? IS THERE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO MOVE SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
