ABSTRACT:

Pursuant to Local Law No. 4 of 2020 adopted on May 20, 2020, and following an extensive, publicly inclusive visioning process, the Board of Trustees enacted a new “form-based” Zoning Code. Unlike some other municipalities that have adopted form-based zoning as an overlay district to cover specific areas such as downtowns, commercial corridors or neighborhoods, Port Chester’s new Zoning Code was a far-reaching effort covering the entire village.

Since the adoption of the Zoning Code, practical application and experience has shown that a single character district, the CD-4 District, warranted proactive special study and review. The CD-4 District comprises the largest mapped physical area of all the zoning districts.

The Board established an advisory CD-4 Review Committee comprised of village residents and property owners to study the CD-4 District and return with a report with recommendations for proposed legislation. On October 17, 2022, the Committee made a public presentation to the Board of Trustees and provided a written report recommending significant changes to the Official Zoning Map and related text changes to the Zoning Code.

The Board concurred with the Committee’s report in finding that the CD-4 District should be modified to establish a new C1 Neighborhood Character District and new R2F Two-Family District with related dimensional and use text changes to the CD-4 General Urban Character District, but also on its own initiative determined to establish a new CD4-MU General Urban Mixed Use District.

The Board found and declared that the local law making text changes and the companion local law, Local Law No. 19 of 2022, making changes to the Zoning Map are necessary and appropriate so as to more fully implement to the general goals and objectives of the Zoning Code.

The Board expressed its intent to continue the process of reviewing the Zoning Code with a goal of further amendment as need be.

ABSTRACT:

On April 29, 2019, the Planning Commission of the Village of Port Chester granted site plan and special exception use approvals for the “Station Lofts” multifamily residential project to be located at 67 New Broad Street, which approvals were granted prior to the enactment of the current Firm Based Zoning Code.

Construction of the project has been delayed as a result of certain impediments, including the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, negotiations with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and Veolia for necessary permits and approvals to allow for construction of the project.

To account for the cumulative effect of the foregoing delays, Local Law No. I-01 of the Year 2023 further extends the site plan approval and all related approvals for the Station Lofts Project from April 28, 2023 through and including December 31, 2025.
