6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As directed by Governor David A. Paterson, in October 2008, Empire State Development (ESD) and the New York State Racing & Wagering Board (RWB) have explored redevelopment options for two parcels at Belmont Park, totaling 36 acres. The objective has been to work with stakeholders to define a range of possible options for these parcels that will create new jobs, generate additional tax revenue, and bolster economic development in Elmont, Bellerose, Floral Park, Queens Village and surrounding communities. In response, ESD, RWB and their consultant, FXFOWLE Architects and Planners, have performed the following tasks: Analyzed the two sites at Belmont Park in regard to regional and local opportunities and constraints Identified and conducted stakeholder interviews with elected officials, technical advisers, and community representatives with regard to defining opportunities for redevelopment Defined criteria for evaluation in response to the Governor s request Synthesized stakeholder feedback to formulate a wide range of development options Evaluated stakeholder options in the context of evaluation criteria Solicited developer input from members of the development community involved with similar development projects in Long Island and Queens to help evaluate viability of land-use options Defined viable development options for each development site in response to stakeholder interests and developer input Prepared graphic presentations that included precedents, site plans and a 3-D sketch for each option Evaluated each plan in response to the identified evaluation criteria Identified next steps and recommendations for future initiatives at Belmont Park This report is a summary of the findings. The following are potential land-use options for the two development sites: Site A Options: Option 1: Racino (Stand Alone) (240,000 sf) Option 2.1: Small Hotel (Stand Alone) with VLTs in Grandstand (130,000 sf) Option 2.2: Large Hotel (Stand Alone) with VLTs in Grandstand (300,000 sf) Option 3.1: Small Hotel with Racino (370,000 sf) Option 3.2: Large Hotel with Racino (540,000 sf) In general, Site A options are defined by a hotel and racino. A racino is a facility in which Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) are located, and is usually implemented in correlation with a horse racing venue. A racino can also be referred to as a VLT facility. Both of the hotel and racino uses in Site A options create jobs, reinforce the interests of a majority of the stakeholders and enable a sustainable, pedestrian-friendly environment. Site B Options: Option 1: Lifestyle Retail with Small Hotel (355,500 sf) Option 2: Big Box Retail (with Sports Facility Option) (280,000 sf) Option 3: Mixed-Use Retail with Senior Housing (463,500 sf) Site B redevelopment options include retail uses, a small hotel, senior housing, and some recreational opportunities. These uses maximize economic benefits, address community interests and create a lively urban center. Both Site A and Site B options aim to transform the vacant parking lot parcels into vibrant destination centers. The redevelopment of the sites under any of these options can help revitalize Belmont Park and the surrounding neighborhoods, creating healthy, thriving communities. 6

10 INTRODUCTION

11 INTRODUCTION PROJECT MISSION As directed by Governor David A. Paterson, Empire State Development (ESD) and the New York State Racing & Wagering Board (RWB) have explored redevelopment options for two parcels at Belmont Park, totaling 36 acres. The mission, as defined by the Governor, is to work with stakeholders to define a range of possible options for these parcels that will create new jobs, generate additional tax revenue, and bolster economic development in Elmont, Bellerose, Floral Park, Queens Village and surrounding communities. In response to the Governor s initiative, ESD, RWB and their consultant, FXFOWLE Architects LLP, have analyzed both sites and met with local elected officials, community leaders and technical advisory groups to define redevelopment options. Additionally, the team has also sought input from developers who have worked on Long Island and Queens to ascertain both long-term and short-term redevelopment potential. The timeline below is a summary of the planning process.

14 SITE ANALYSIS

15 SITE ANALYSIS A site analysis of the two parcels was conducted to help understand site elements, infrastructure and access issues, regional influences, and the major opportunities and constraints that are likely to shape development options. SITE ELEMENTS Within Belmont Park and the surrounding area, there are a range of site elements that influence both Site A and Site B. Figure 2 locates the elements listed below: 11a Av Jamaica Av A enue TO GRAND CENTRAL PKWY 10b 7c Cross Island Parkway ay 6b 14a 12 8c FIGURE 2: SITE ELEMENTS TO NASSAU 11b 10c Racetrack Grandstand ( +/- 120 in height) Belmont Open Space/Park Training Area Horse Stables and Racetrack Worker Housing Parking Vehicular Access Single Family Residential Cross Island Parkway Major Local Roads LIRR Stations LIRR Train Tracks Retail Corridors Schools Queens Village Bus Depot 13b TO JAMAICA 13c 8d 10a 15 8b 9 11c SITE A SITE B a 8a 7a Hempstead Turnpike TO SOUTH STATE PKWY 7b 5 6c 4 13a Elmont Road N Plainfield Avenue 14b 14c TO HEMPSTEAD feet SITE ACCESS Transit Both regionally and locally, Sites A and B are well served by mass transit. There are three Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) stops within one mile of the two sites: Belmont Park, Queens Village, and Bellerose. However, the closest station, Belmont Park, is a spur of the Hempstead Branch of the LIRR, and provides only limited service during racing season. Both Nassau County and Queens County bus lines serve Site A and Site B, including the N1, N2, N3, N6, Q110 and Q2. These bus lines stop in close proximity to the sites. Pedestrian In general, pedestrian access to the two sites is limited because Hempstead Turnpike is a car-dominated and pedestrian unfriendly roadway. However, walking distances to nearby transit stations and retail centers are manageable and vary from a half mile to a mile. In addition, Site A has easy access to the pedestrian bridge that connects the Belmont Station LIRR platform to the Racetrack. Vehicular In addition to being near mass transit, the sites are also well served by major and minor vehicular roadways. The sites are bisected by Hempstead Turnpike, and are bordered to the west by the Cross Island Parkway. These major roads provide regional access to Hempstead, Jamaica Station, JFK Airport, and the Throgs Neck Bridge. 14

To ensure that an adequate supply will exist for new development, the developer of the sites will need to work with the Water Authority of West Nassau County and the Nassau County Department of Public Works. ill H d nch n Bra Port Fra SITE INFRASTRUCTURE an Gr C Northeast To New Hyde Park, Mineola North To Northern State Pkwy, LIE, Throgs Neck Bridge 1/4 Additional regional influences include corridor retail along major roads, numerous parks and open spaces, institutions and schools. (See Figure 3) e Beyond the transit stations and roadways that allow regional connections, there is a variety of regional elements that influence development on Site A and Site B. These include numerous neighborhood retail nodes as well as regional retail areas. Regional retail areas contain largescale commercial uses such as big-box retail. The commercial core closest to Site A and Site B is located at the southwest corner of Hempstead Turnpike and Elmont Road, where there are plans to develop the former Argo Theater site into a large food and grocery center. The nearest regional retail area occurs east of the sites along Hempstead Turnpike and contains a Home Depot, Marshall s and an Office Max. Other regional shopping destinations within a five-to-six mile radius of the sites include Greenacres Mall and Roosevelt Field Mall. P kw y REGIONAL INFLUENCES Sewage and Drainage A sewer line currently exists underneath Site A. However, development on Sites A and B will require upgrades to any existing sewer and drainage system, and will require working with Nassau County Department of Public Works to provide an adequate drainage system. The area surrounding Belmont Park has been prone to flooding in past storms. Create mixed-use development -Hotel/convention center -Retail -Recreation Redevelop parking area south of Hempstead Turnpike Create gateway to Elmont Improve streetscape along Hempstead Turnpike Encourage Belmont-oriented businesses, activities and uses RECENT PLANS FOR AREA: ELMONT COMMUNITY VISION PLAN (2008) ZONING In June 2008, the Elmont Community Vision Plan was published, setting forth a series of goals and objectives for the community. During the Vision Plan s conception, the total amount and location of land available for development in Belmont Park was not known. Therefore though the Vision Plan specifically addresses Belmont Park, it only looks at Site B. The objectives stated by the Vision Plan for this area included: Under existing zoning, Belmont Park is designated for residential use. The Elmont Community Vision Plan proposes a new zoning district for the area, the Belmont Special Use District, that would allow Belmont Park to be rezoned and developed in a coordinated matter. The proposed special use district would also allow a mix of uses beyond residential that could lead to economic growth. 15 erso Jeff

20 STAKEHOLDER AND DEVELOPER OUTREACH

21 STAKEHOLDER AND DEVELOPER OUTREACH STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS / PLANNING PROCESS A public input process was initiated in order to fully understand community issues and to explore redevelopment options for the site. Meetings were held on November 21st and November 25th at the Elmont Memorial Library in Elmont, New York with elected officials, a technical advisory group, civic group leaders and residents. A meeting was also held on December 5th with the Queens Borough President and Community Board 13, as the two parcels available for development at Belmont Park are located just east of the Queens County boundary line. All of the stakeholders involved in the public process for this redevelopment study are listed below: Elected Officials and their Representatives (November 21: 1pm-3pm) New York State Senate New York State Assembly County Representatives Mayoral Leaders Town of Hempstead Queens Borough President* November 21st Stakeholder Meeting Technical Advisory Group (November 25: 3pm-5pm) LIRR Nassau County Town of Hempstead New York State Department of Transportation Long Island Regional Council Regional Plan Association** Community (November 25: 6pm-8pm) Civic Group Representatives Residents Community Board 13* * A separate meeting was held with Queens Borough President and Community Board 13 District Manager on December 5th. ** RPA was contacted separately.

22 The challenges and opportunities for Site A and Site B, as well as a list of possible redevelopment uses for the two sites, were discussed with the various stakeholders and are listed in the sections below. Please note, a racino is listed as one of the possible uses identified by the stakeholders and is a term used repeatedly in this document. A racino is defined as a facility in which Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) are located, and is usually implemented in correlation with a horse racing venue. A racino can also be referred to as a VLT facility. Challenges Substandard conditions in surrounding areas, including racetrack housing Safety and security Pedestrian safety due to high traffic volumes on Hempstead Turnpike Proximity to single family residential housing on eastern edge of Site B Flooding and drainage issues Isolation of Belmont Park from surrounding community Need for open space Need for family-oriented retail Opportunities Create job opportunities and tax relief for surrounding community Enhance LIRR service at the Belmont Station to 365-days a year Create gateway entrance into Nassau County Build upon equine history using Belmont Park as cultural resource Make sites a destination Integrate pedestrian friendly features/streetscaping on Hempstead Turnpike Create a walkable community/environment Possible Redevelopment Uses for Site A and Site B Transportation center (lirr + bus hub) Racino (4500 VLT stations plus amenities) Lifestyle retail center Mixed-use residential/office room hotel/conference center facility room hotel (minimal amenities) Senior housing Neighborhood retail center Outlet retail center Big-box power retail center Open space/park Recreational/entertainment complex Horse racing museum/historic center Medical arts/professional office Corporate office park Equine uses/equine learning center Green technology/development park Workforce housing Community youth facility University research campus 21

23 CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION Based on the key findings of the site analysis and the stakeholder input, a set of Criteria for Evaluation was created. Positive economic benefits for state and community Economically viable Buildable without public subsidy Creates destination opportunities Complements racing culture of Belmont Park Supports pedestrian friendly environment Supports sustainable development and planning ESD, RWB and the consultants undertook an evaluation process to determine the best uses for Site A and Site B. The Criteria for Evaluation listed above were utilized to assess each possible use, identifying the 10 uses with the highest ratings: 1. Transportation center ( lirr + bus hub) 2. Racino (4500 station plus amenities) 3. Lifestyle retail center 4. Mixed-use residential/office room hotel conference center facility room hotel (minimal amenities) 7. Senior housing 8.

24 DEVELOPER OUTREACH Beyond using the Criteria for Evaluation to recognize the best uses for the site, ESD, RWB and the consultants reached out to members of the development community to understand the economic feasibility of the different possible uses presented by the stakeholders. This provided information on market realities, which are integral to the success of any redevelopment on the sites. The summary of the development community s assessment of viable uses for the sites is represented in Figure 7. In addition, the following are the different challenges and opportunities identified by the developers: Challenges Radius restrictions prevent outlet retail opportunities (development too close in distance to Green Acres Mall, Queens Center and Roosevelt Field Mall) Lack of 365-day LIRR service at the Belmont Station Large hotel may not be economically viable Lifestyle center may not be economically viable Opportunities Create 365-day LIRR service at Belmont Station VLT facility may be economically viable (economic and gaming analyses recommended) Senior housing has strong economic future Mixed-use center may be economically viable and creates a walkable community Small hotel may be economically viable Large hotel may be economically viable, especially if LIRR service in place Big box retail may be economically viable FIGURE 7: DEVELOPER ASSESSMENT OF DEVELOPMENT VIABILITY Site A Site B Racino or VLT Facility Rm Economy Hotel (with racino) Rm Economy Hotel (Alone) Rm Hotel/Conf Center (with racino) Rm Hotel/Conf Center (Alone) Rm Econ Hotel/Longstay Resid Hotel Senior Housing Big Box Power Retail Center Medium Density Workforce Housing Mixed Use Hsg/Retail/Prof Office Lifestyle Retail Center (Mini-Box) Outlet Retail Center Sports Family Entertainment Center Rm Hotel/Conf Center (Alone) Professional Office Rm Hotel/Conf Center 5-Immediate Potential 4-Excellent 3-Good (Long Term) 2-Fair 1-Poor 0-None Development Groups Notes Developer A Lifestyle Retail is not viable Developer B Large Hotel Unlikely (Not a Travel Destination) Developer C Outlet Retail Unlikely (radius restrictions) Developer D = - - Financing Concerns Developer E Possible Long Term Office Potential Developer F Multi-Hotel Village Concept with VLT's Developer G Financing Concerns (Demand for Super Big-Box) Developer H LIRR Service to Belmont Essential to Area Developer I Developer J Developer K Hotel needs to be subsidized & Big Demand for VLT's Developer L Strongly suggests market analysis for proposed uses Developer M Large Hotel Only Possible with Casino (Financing) Developer N Sr Hsg- Strong Future Totals From a developer s perspective, the following are the most viable options: Racino or VLT facility room economy hotel (with racino) room economy hotel (alone) room hotel/conference center (with racino) room hotel/conference center (alone) room economy hotel/long stay residential hotel Senior housing Big box power retail center Medium density workforce housing Mixed use housing/retail/professional office Lifestyle retail center Outlet retail center* * Retail radius restrictions for outlets limit viability. 23

26 SITE A REDEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

27 SITE A REDEVELOPMENT OPTIONS SITE A OVERVIEW In general, Site A options include, either alone or in combination: a racino, a small hotel, a large hotel and parking. As represented in Figure 6 (page 22), the racino and hotel uses are highly responsive to the Criteria for Evaluation. Both a racino and hotel bring income into the community, are economically viable, and reinforce the interests of the majority of the stakeholders. Each option is characterized by a pedestrian friendly environment and sustainable urban design principles, offering walkable entertainment centers. A racino may entail the need for increased security, which would be addressed during Site A implementation. In all of the redevelopment options, Site A is transformed from a vacant parking lot into a 24-hour vibrant destination center. The synergies between this new center and the existing racetrack can act as a catalyst for revitalization for Belmont Park, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods. SITE A LAND USE OPTIONS Development options for Site A are described in detail in the following sections and are listed below: Option 1: Racino (Stand Alone) Option 2.1: Small Hotel (Stand Alone) with VLTs in Grandstand Option 2.2: Large Hotel (Stand Alone) with VLTs in Grandstand Option 3.1: Small Hotel with Racino Option 3.2: Large Hotel with Racino Site A: Existing Conditions 26

28 SITE A CIRCULATION Cross Island Parkway FIGURE 8: SITE A CIRCULATION The proposed circulation for Site A first and foremost maintains access on the north and east edges of the site. In addition, new circulation elements for the site are introduced, such as a new traffic signal at the intersection of Hempstead Turnpike and the entry to Site A. A new road is proposed within the boundaries of Site A that loops around the perimeter of the site, allowing for efficient access around the site without entering the formal Belmont Park roadway network. Service loading and entry to parking occurs along the west edge of the site. Lastly, a green space is proposed to buffer the site from Hempstead Turnpike, creating a gateway into Elmont and Nassau County from the west. OFF-SITE GRANDSTAND The proposed circulation plan and the gateway green for Site A remain in place in for each of the redevelopment options since these elements provide a sound planning framework for all the options. In each option, new development can easily access the Cross Island Parkway and the Hempstead Turnpike from the southern end of the site.

The racino brings revenues into Elmont and the surrounding community and is seen as complementary to the horse racing uses taking place in the adjacent racetrack. The proposed racino occupies 240,000 square feet on the northern portion of the site, in close proximity to the Grandstand. The racino would include amenities such as a cafe/restaurant and a bar and lounge area. New parking is proposed on the southern portion of the site. This option assumes that racino parking demands can utilize off-site existing parking lots within Belmont Park, so that the racino and racetrack can coexist compatibly. (See Figures 10 and 11) A precedent for a stand-alone racino adjacent to a racetrack is Finger Lakes Gaming and Raceway in Farmington, New York. Finger Lakes Gaming occupies a 60,000 square foot building pad with a 27,000 square foot gaming floor, and includes a food court and sports bar. The facility contains 990 VLTs, allowing approximately 29 square feet per VLT. In looking at the Finger Lakes Gaming facility as well as other VLT facilities in New York, the average square footage per VLT was determined to be 28 square feet. This average was utilized in all redevelopment options with VLT facilities in this Redevelopment Study. (See Figure 9) 28

The small hotel provides accommodations and limited meeting/banquet space for people visiting the racetrack as well as for the surrounding community. The hotel occupies 130,000 square feet on four to six floors, with a ground level lobby and function space. Surface parking to support the hotel uses is located on the northern portion of the site. With VLTs in the ground level of the Grandstand, climatization of the VLT area is required. Parking demands for VLTs in the Grandstand can use existing parking lots within Belmont Park.

The large hotel provides accommodations and meeting/banquet space for people visiting the racetrack as well as for the surrounding community. If LIRR service is expanded at Belmont Station, a large hotel could also be used by people flying into and out of John F. Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia Airport, as the site would maintain easy public transit access to these airports. The hotel occupies 300,000 square feet on eight floors, with a ground level lobby and function space. Surface parking to support the hotel uses is located on the northern portion of the site. With VLTs in the ground level of the Grandstand, climatization of the VLT area is required. Parking demands for VLTs in the Grandstand can use existing parking lots within Belmont Park. (See Figures 17, 18 and 19) A precedent for a large stand alone hotel is the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott in East Elmhurst, New York. This hotel includes 430 guest rooms, 23 meeting rooms, a grand ballroom, an on-site lounge, a restaurant and a coffee shop. (See Figure 16) 32

Similar to Option 2.1, the hotel occupies 130,000 square feet on four to six floors, with a ground level lobby and function space. However, in this option the small hotel is directly connected to a new racino on the northern portion of the site. This option requires two levels of structured parking located below the racino. Hotel patrons can enter the hotel from a front door drop off area or from the structured parking. Racino customers can either enter directly into the racino through a central drop off area or from the structured parking, or could access the facility through an escalator/passageway from the small hotel. Customers could also enter the racino via an elevated bridge from the Grandstand. As the hotel patrons and racino customers may be two different user groups, hotel patrons who do not want to use the VLTs could use the hotel and amenities while remaining completely separated from the racino. Possible hotel amenities include a restaurant, bar, banquet and meeting rooms, and spa facilities. (See Figures 21 and 22) A precedent for a small hotel with a racino facility is Vernon Downs Racino and Hotel in Vernon, New York. This hotel and racino are adjacent to Vernon Downs Racetrack. At Vernon Downs, the hotel and racino are in close proximity to each other but are located in two separate structures. The hotel includes 173 guest rooms, some meeting and banquet facilities, a restaurant and bar, and pool and spa facilities. (See Figure 20) 34

40 SITE B REDEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

41 SITE B REDEVELOPMENT OPTIONS SITE B OVERVIEW Based on the Criteria for Evaluation, the most appropriate uses for Site B include: retail uses, a small hotel, senior housing and the opportunity for sports recreation facilities. Similar to the redevelopment options for Site A, the program elements in each Site B option provide economic benefits, are economically viable, and meet the majority of stakeholder and community interests. In addition, the different options are physically designed to be walkable, lively destination centers. Small-scaled retail uses, large-scale commercial uses, recreational facilities and mixeduse housing all work together to create an urban core, giving the surrounding community a place to live, work and play. Site B also offers open space amenities. Each option includes not only a gateway green at the northern end of the site, but also a neighborhood park at the southern end of the park where picnic areas or playing fields can be incorporated. SITE B LAND USE OPTIONS Development options for Site B are described in detail in the following sections and are listed below: Option 1: Lifestyle Retail with Small Hotel Option 2: Big Box Retail (with Sports Facility Option) Option 3: Mixed-Use Retail with Senior Housing Site B: Existing Conditions 40

42 FIGURE 26: SITE B CIRCULATION SITE B CIRCULATION Site B includes vehicular access easements that must be maintained. These access areas are kept in place in the proposed circulation plan for Site B at the north and west edges of the site. New circulation elements proposed include a traffic signal at the intersection of Hempstead Turnpike and the entry to Site B to allow westbound traffic to enter the site, and a new road that follows the western boundary of Site B. Another new road is proposed at the northern portion of the site alongside a gateway green that buffers the site from Hempstead Turnpike and provides a landmark space for the Elmont community and Nassau County. These two roads allow for efficient access to all portions of the site as well as to the Cross Island Parkway and Hempstead Turnpike. In addition to the new roads, a fifteen-foot wide landscaped area is proposed along the east boundary of the site to buffer any new development from the existing single family residences at this location. Lastly, the circulation plan for Site B allows for a neighborhood park at the southern tip of the site. The proposed circulation plan and the gateway green for Site A remain in place in for each of the redevelopment options since these elements provide a sound planning framework for all the options. The neighborhood park at the southern tip of the site stays in place, but changes in size according to the various program needs for each option.

This option is envisioned as a mixed-used commercial development that combines the traditional retail functions of a shopping mall with leisure amenities such as movie theaters and restaurants, along with a small hotel that can support the retail uses. Option 1 includes 243,000 square feet of retail, a four story,150-room hotel, and surface parking. Some of the smaller stand alone retail pads can be used by family-oriented restaurants. The retail and parking areas both have direct access to Hempstead Turnpike and the Cross Island Parkway via the new road on the western border of the site. (See Figures 28 and 29) A relevant design precedent for Option 1 is The Shops at Atlas Park development in Glendale, New York. This walkable shopping/lifestyle center includes over 30 retail stores, a movie theater complex with multiple restaurants, and a large food market. The development also includes public spaces such as plazas and green spaces that act as central nodes for the complex. (See Figure 27) 42 NEIGHBORHOOD PARK N feet 400

The smaller retail uses at the north end of the site act as a front door to the development and can support restaurants and more walkable, smaller-scaled retail. The two large retail pads each occupy 120,000 square feet, with 412,500 square feet of surface parking. This option also shows the opportunity for an indoor sports facility in place of one of the large retail pads. There is a service road between the small and large retail and along the northern edge of the neighborhood park that allows access to Hempstead Turnpike and the Cross Island Parkway. Lastly, the neighborhood park in this option shows a soccer field, as the programming of this park can be related to a potential indoor sports facility. (See Figures 31 and 32) 120,000 SF NEIGHBORHOOD PARK A precedent for Option 2 is the WalMart supercenter in Westbury, New York. This big box center includes WalMart, Costco, Marshalls and Sports Authority, with building pads ranging from 40,000 to 140,000 square feet. A precedent that includes a sports facility is Forekicks Norfolk in Norfolk, Massachusetts, a 85,000 square foot indoor sports complex. (See Figure 30) 44 N feet

The retail development has the potential to support neighborhood retail, restaurants, and professional offices that can serve the region. The senior housing provides a total of 333 units of townhouses and apartments. These units are grouped into three clusters that are built around a common green space and parking to create a village like setting. A club house for social gatherings anchors the southern tip of the development and fronts the neighborhood park. The retail development and each of the housing clusters have direct access to the Cross Island Parkway and Hempstead Turnpike via the new road on the western border of the site. (See Figures 34 and 35) A relevant precedent for the senior housing development shown in Option 3 is The Paddock Apartments in Lexington, Kentucky. This development includes 160 senior housing units and is in close proximity to Kentucky Horse Park.
