VILLAGE OF RED HOOK PROPOSED LOCAL LAW NO. D OF THE YEAR 2023

A LOCAL LAW TO CLARIFY THE PURPOSES AND INTENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE DISTRICT

Be it enacted by the Village Board of the Village of Red Hook as follows:

Section 1. Legislative Intent

This Local Law amends Section 200-12 of the Zoning Law to clarify that residential, commercial or mixed-uses are permitted on a single lot in the Neighborhood Mixed Use District.

Section 2. The first paragraph of Section 200-12 of the Zoning Law, entitled “Neighborhood Mixed Use District (NMU)” is hereby amended to read as follows:

The land uses most appropriate in this mixed-use district are either residential uses, commercial uses, or a combination of residential and/or commercial uses on the same lot. The commercial uses should be designed to service primarily the adjacent residential neighborhood and secondarily the Village. Such uses should supplement the commercial uses on South Broadway and Market Streets. All development to the district should be pedestrian friendly, with sidewalks and, where practical, a street facade consistent with the scale and appearance of the nearby Village streets and structures. Mixed uses may occur on adjacent lots or within a single lot or building such as residential use of the upper floor with commercial use on the first floor.

Section 3. Severability

If any part or provision of this Local Law or the application thereof to any person or circumstance be adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such judgement shall be confined in its operation to the part of provision or application directly involved in the controversy in which judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of this Local Law or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances, and the Village of Red Hook hereby declares that it would have passed this Local Law or the remainder thereof had such invalid application or invalid provision been apparent.

Section 4. Effective Date

This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing in the office of the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law.
