Resolution of the Village Board of East Aurora Approving The Subdivision Application for 270 Quaker Road, applicant Young Development, to subdivide approximately 11.05 acres from the existing 15.40-acre parcel. WHEREAS, a revised application dated January 23, 2026, has been submitted for Subdivision Approval at the above-referenced property by applicant Young Development, represented by Sean Hopkins, WHEREAS, the Village Board referred the subdivision to the Planning Commission for review, comment, and recommendation, and the Planning Commission resolution, recommending site plan approval, with findings and conditions; and WHEREAS, the Village’s SEQRA Intake Committee considered the application and reviewed Part 1 of the Short Environmental Assessment Form submitted by the applicant and completed Part 2 and Part 3 thereof on behalf of the Village, and it was the recommendation of the SEQRA Committee and approved by the Village Board as a Negative Declaration, including that the proposed development plan is a Unlisted Action and would have no significant environmental impact; and WHEREAS, the Village Board at a public meeting reviewed and considered further the comments and all written materials submitted by the applicant and all other information and recommendations before the Board, including minutes of prior Village Board meetings and the recommendations from the SEQRA Intake Committee and Planning Commission, and the referral and response from the Erie County Division of Planning declaring: No Recommendation; proposed action has been reviewed and determined to be of local concern; and WHEREAS, the Village Board received and considered the Subdivision, the above-referenced upgrades, and any and all amendments thereof; and WHEREAS, the Village Board has separately considered the environmental impacts of the project, declared itself Lead Agency and issued a Negative Declaration of environmental significance, with the proposal classified as an Unlisted Action. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Village Board as follows: 1. The Findings of Fact of the SEQRA Intake Committee, the resolution with findings of the Planning Commission, and the site plan application, all information included in the minutes taken in relation to the above-mentioned Village Board and Planning Commission meetings, are herein incorporated by reference, including the following findings of the Planning Commission: Findings: i. As proposed, the project is inconsistent with the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village of East Aurora. ii. The proposed use is not inconsistent with certain surrounding land uses in the vicinity of the project site. iii. The applicant is willing to accept legally binding restrictions limiting the property exclusively to the proposed senior housing subdivision, including the incorporation of a reversion clause. iv. While the project would benefit the applicant, the applicant has demonstrated through a market study that there is a need for market-rate senior housing in the area. v. The applicant has proposed market-rate senior housing and has not proposed affordable housing, workforce housing, public amenities, or other community benefits tied specifically to the requested rezoning. vi. The parcel could potentially be developed more consistently with its current zoning designation as an office or medical park; however, the agent for API Delevan stated that there is limited market demand for such uses.
