WHEREAS, a proposed local law was introduced to amend Chapter 185, Section 13, Subsection A and Chapter 185, Attachment 1 concerning two-family dwellings in the two-family residence R-2A District; and

WHEREAS, in June 2022, the Village initiated a zoning analysis of the R-2A District in response to inquiries about the potential for increased density through subdivision of large lots in the R-2A District, and to identify revisions to the Village Zoning Code to address any concerns about such development; and

WHEREAS, based on the zoning analysis, the Village proposes to revise Village Code §185-13.A to specify that future two-family homes must face and have their entire required lot width along Bedford Road, even in the case of a corner lot which has two front yards; and

WHEREAS, the proposed local law is intended to ensure that two-family development is focused on Bedford Road, a two-lane arterial road, rather than fronting along narrower residential side streets; and

WHEREAS, the proposed local law is an Unlisted Action pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”).  

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pleasantville shall hold a public hearing on September 29, 2022 at 8:00 p.m. at Village Hall, 80 Wheeler Avenue, Pleasantville, New York, to consider the proposed local law.
