Town of North East, NY: zoning for new construction

Agricultural District — The front yard is published twice, from the street line and from the street CENTRE LINE: 75 ft from the street line, 100 ft from the centre line. The figure recorded is the street-line one. Minimum lot width is 325 ft, measured at the building line at the front yard setback. Building coverage is 10% and SITE coverage 30% — two separate limits, and the site figure is the binding one. Height is capped at 2 1/2 stories as well as 35 ft. No more than 10% of the minimum lot area may consist of wetlands, land under water, the 100-year floodplain, or slopes of 20% or steeper, so the buildable minimum is effectively larger on a constrained parcel. No driveway may meet a street line less than 70 ft from the intersection of any two street lines.

Very Low Density Residential District — The front yard is published twice, from the street line and from the street CENTRE LINE: 60 ft from the street line, 85 ft from the centre line. The figure recorded is the street-line one. Minimum lot width is 250 ft, measured at the building line at the front yard setback. Building coverage is 10% and SITE coverage 25% — two separate limits, and the site figure is the binding one. Height is capped at 2 1/2 stories as well as 35 ft. No more than 10% of the minimum lot area may consist of wetlands, land under water, the 100-year floodplain, or slopes of 20% or steeper, so the buildable minimum is effectively larger on a constrained parcel. No driveway may meet a street line less than 70 ft from the intersection of any two street lines.

Low Density Residential District — The front yard is published twice, from the street line and from the street CENTRE LINE: 50 ft from the street line, 75 ft from the centre line. The figure recorded is the street-line one. Minimum lot width is 175 ft on an interior lot and 210 ft on a corner lot, measured at the building line at the front yard setback. The schedule prints no single side yard figure for this district. Two side yards must total at least 30 ft with the narrower no less than 1/3 of that total, which is where the 10 ft comes from; on a corner lot there is one rear yard and one side yard, each at least 10 ft. Building coverage is 10% and SITE coverage 20% — two separate limits, and the site figure is the binding one. Height is capped at 2 1/2 stories as well as 35 ft. No more than 10% of the minimum lot area may consist of wetlands, land under water, the 100-year floodplain, or slopes of 20% or steeper, so the buildable minimum is effectively larger on a constrained parcel. No driveway may meet a street line less than 70 ft from the intersection of any two street lines.

Medium Density Residential District — The front yard is published twice, from the street line and from the street CENTRE LINE: 30 ft from the street line, 55 ft from the centre line. The figure recorded is the street-line one. Minimum lot width is 175 ft on an interior lot and 185 ft on a corner lot, measured at the building line at the front yard setback. The schedule prints no single side yard figure for this district. Two side yards must total at least 30 ft with the narrower no less than 1/3 of that total, which is where the 10 ft comes from; on a corner lot there is one rear yard and one side yard, each at least 10 ft. Every lot dimension in R20,000 turns on central sewer, and the base row is the UNSEWERED case: 175 ft of width on an interior lot and 185 on a corner against 115 and 125 with central sewer, and 7% site coverage against 15%. The minimum area per dwelling unit is 20,000 sq ft with central sewer, and without it whatever the Dutchess County Department of Health determines but never less than 20,000. Building coverage is not stated and SITE coverage 7% without central sewer and 15% with it — two separate limits, and the site figure is the binding one. Height is capped at 2 1/2 stories as well as 35 ft. No more than 10% of the minimum lot area may consist of wetlands, land under water, the 100-year floodplain, or slopes of 20% or steeper, so the buildable minimum is effectively larger on a constrained parcel. No driveway may meet a street line less than 70 ft from the intersection of any two street lines.

Boulevard District 4 — The front yard is a RANGE, not a minimum: 20 to 30 ft from the street line, or 55 to 65 ft from the street CENTRE LINE. A building may not be set further back than the maximum. Minimum lot width is 200 ft on an interior lot and 240 ft on a corner lot, measured at the building line at the front yard setback. Parking and loading areas have their own side and rear setbacks, 20 ft and 20 ft. A building may not exceed 75 ft in WIDTH at the front yard setback. A single building may not exceed 10,000 sq ft of footprint, except a grocery store where permitted, which may reach 35,000 sq ft. Building coverage is 15% and SITE coverage 40% — two separate limits, and the site figure is the binding one. Height is capped at 2 stories as well as 35 ft. No more than 10% of the minimum lot area may consist of wetlands, land under water, the 100-year floodplain, or slopes of 20% or steeper, so the buildable minimum is effectively larger on a constrained parcel. For the Boulevard Districts see also the Alternative Land Use Development Performance Modifications at § 180-19D, which can change every figure carrying a footnote here. Every front building facade must include a change in plane, material or other substantive visual alteration at least every 40 ft.
