The development is expected to generate $1 million in property taxes, with almost $900,000 of the estimated total for the Yorktown school district.
YORKTOWN—The Town Board of Yorktown recently approved a zoning change for a 55+ active adult townhouse community to be developed by Toll Brothers, clearing the way for the home builder to now seek site plan approval.
The developer needed a zoning change to allow for the construction of the planned community on the 50.5-acre parcel that would include a clubhouse, pool, roads, storm water management system and other improvements. The Town Board approved the zone change at its session on Dec. 10.
Toll Brothers must now submit a site plan application to the Yorktown Planning Board for review and additional public hearings.
“The Town Board conducted a thorough review with public discussion that lasted more than three years since the project was initially proposed. We determined that this project offers Yorktown’s active empty-nesters who are downsizing from single-family homes the opportunity to remain in our community in an attractive, market-rate development that will help fund our public schools while not burdening them with more children,” said Yorktown Supervisor Ed Lachterman.
The development is expected to generate $1 million in property taxes, with almost $900,000 of the estimated total for the Yorktown school district. The property owner currently pays $184,806 in yearly taxes.
The Town previously approved a proposal for a 108-unit complex at the site with the option to expand it by 30 or 40 units. The builder behind that proposal only completed an adjacent 96-bed nursing home, which was also approved as part of that development.
The property contains the former Catharine Field Home, originally founded by an Episcopal nun in 1887 as a home for older women. Toll Brothers agreed to donate a 2.5-acre portion of the property containing the Catharine Field Home to the town for preservation and adaptive reuse. Currently the building is used by the Field Hall Foundation.
