With a pivotal council race now in full swing, all six candidates are honing in on the issue of development, one of the biggest campaign issues on the city’s November ballot.
The Planning Commission’s Sept. 9 meeting marked the potential start of the city recording the hearings on the proposal in the future.
The biggest component of the proposal is turning the former Thruway property into a massive sports complex, something advocates say the school needs.
This summer, Rye Country Day School finalized plans for a major campus redevelopment, three years after the school obtained the New York State Thruway property.
While the large-scale development plans would add numerous residential units to Rye, none are designated as affordable units by Westchester County standards.
All three candidates for mayor -- Josh Nathan, Bill Henderson and Rick McCabe -- voiced support for the changing allowable building height. 
The Planning Commission asked City Planner Christian Miller to draft an analysis of how the city should approach a zoning change. 
The Harrison Town Board set the wheels in motion for reversing the zoning change back to its previous designation of limited commercial development.
Richard Dionisio participated in multiple votes related to a controversial rezoning effort in Harrison without publicly disclosing his financial interest.
The announcement by the developer comes just as the Harrison Town Board was set to open a public hearing to potentially pass a building moratorium.
