Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 20, 2023, the Town of Cortlandt Manor's Town Board (the "Town Board")
unanimously adopted the SEQRA findings statement attached to this Report as
Exhibit 99.1, effectively completing the environmental review process with the
Town Board, and approved the adoption of the Local Law Establishing a Medical
Oriented Zoning District ("MOD") that Gyrodyne LLC's Cortlandt Manor property
will be reclassified in. The Local Law Establishing the MOD is attached to this
Report as Exhibit 99.2. Pursuant to the adopted MOD, Gyrodyne received MOD
campus designation for a mixed-use 154,000 square foot campus (including the
operating lot) comprised of 150,000 square feet of medical use and 4,000 square
feet of retail use. The law establishing the MOD becomes effective upon its
filing by the Town of Cortlandt Manor (the "Town") with the New York Secretary
of State, which is expected to occur on or about April 9, 2023 (20 days
following adoption).
On March 15, 2016, the Town adopted a Sustainable Comprehensive Plan (the
"Plan"), one key strategy of which was the simultaneous creation of a MOD. The
purpose of the proposed MOD was to expand the Town's medical infrastructure and
encourage economic development, including capital investment, job creation and
housing options.
The Company's existing 31,421 square foot Cortlandt Medical Center, situated on
13.8 acres, is located directly across the street from New York Presbyterian's
Hudson Valley Hospital Center, the largest employer in the Town, and within the
boundaries of the MOD. The Company has committed resources toward both market
research and feasibility studies in support of achieving entitlements to
maximize the value of the property. For approximately eight years, the Company's
management, planners and engineers collaborated with the Town to help plan the
MOD and identify issues and solutions involved in creating the Plan and, more
specifically, the MOD.
The Company does not plan on developing its Cortlandt Manor property but rather
positioning the property to be sold in the shortest period of time with the MOD
designation necessary for increased development flexibility with the least
amount of risk to the Company.
