Ogdensburg planning board to discuss rezoning of Mansion Avenue property

Posted

OGDENSBURG – Ogdensburg planners will tonight discuss rezoning a Mansion Avenue property owned by Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center.

The planning board meeting is set for Sept. 6 at 5:30 p.m. at city hall.

The request to rezone the 503 Mansion Avenue property came from the hospital, which is hoping to sell the property.

Hospital officials are hoping to expedite the zoning change process, which could be completed by Oct. 11 if no objections are made to the plan.

The property is included in the city’s Adaptive Reuse District, but the sale is contingent on changing the zoning designation to Moderate Density Residential.

Ogdensburg planning staff has already reviewed the parcel and proposed change and has recommended that the planning board support the change. If the planning board does support the zoning change it will still need approval from city council.

In a letter from the hospital to the city planner, the hospital pointed out that the sale of the property would bring the parcel back on to tax roll.

Ogdensburg will likely hold a public hearing after receiving a recommendation from the planning board.
