Notice of Public Hearing on the Draft DEIS Scoping Outline on
May 28, 2024, 7:30 PM
Rye Brook Village Hall, 938 King Street, Rye Brook, NY
This notice is issued pursuant to Part 6 NYCRR 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to Article
8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Conservation Law (“SEQRA”) and
Section 250-40.B of the Village of Rye Brook Code.
The Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees is considering a petition submitted on behalf of Cohen
Purchase Building Company LLC (“Applicant”) for an amendment to the Planned Unit Development
(“PUD”) section of the Zoning Code, and applications for approval of a PUD Concept Plan, PUD Site
Plan, PUD Subdivision and Tree Removal Permit, for the property located at 975 Anderson Hill Road in
the Village of Rye Brook. (See below for a more detailed description of the Proposed Project.)
The Proposed Project requires the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) due to
the potential to result in one or more significant adverse environmental impacts. The next step in the
SEQRA process is the adoption of a DEIS Scoping Outline. The DEIS Scoping outline, when finalized by
the Board of Trustees, will detail the scope and methodology of the environmental analyses that must be
included in the DEIS.
The Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing on the Draft DEIS Scoping Outline on Tuesday, May
28, 2024 at 7:30 PM in Village Hall, 938 King Street, Rye Brook, NY. In addition, written comments
regarding the scope of the DEIS will be received until May 31, 2024. Written comments can be mailed
to: Christopher Bradbury, Village Clerk, Village of Rye Brook, 938 King Street, Rye Brook, NY, 10573.
Comments will also be accepted via e-mail to <cbradbury@ryebrook.org>. Additional information on the
project can be obtained from Christopher Bradbury at (914) 939-1121.
Project Description
The Proposed Project would include (i) a new lodge that contains a hotel and conference center
(approximately 220 hotel rooms), residential units (40 units), ballrooms, restaurants, and recreational and
other facilities, (ii) a separate multifamily residential building, including affordable units, and (iii) a
wellness center/medical office building that would also contain workforce units, together with related
amenities, landscaping, parking and other site improvements. The Site would continue to be accessed
from Anderson Hill Road.
To allow for the redevelopment of the Project Site, the Applicant has petitioned the Village Board of
Trustees to add a new section to the Rye Brook Zoning Code as Section 250-7(E)(7). The Proposed
Zoning Amendment would clarify the meaning of a “lodge” use and ensure that the Project complies with
the applicable bulk and dimensional requirements, including the establishment of new maximum building
heights for each type of residential and non-residential use within the PUD.
