Re: Sleepy Hollow Zoning Code Update - Proposal for Consulting Services
Dear Anthony,
Based on our recent conservations with you and Trustee Spiro, we propose to assist
the Village in implementing short-term zoning recommendations of the recently
adopted Comprehensive Plan. We have reviewed the full list of zoning-related
recommendations from the Plan, and suggest focusing the first phase of
implementation on the Inner Village. This reflects the Village's longtime goals for
downtown revitalization as well as the need to adapt to the economic impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic. A later phase could address issues related to the natural
environmenVsustainafaility and the lower-density residential neighborhoods.
Project Scope
The types of zoning updates recommended for the Inner Village/central business
district fall into the following five categories:

1.

Map changes
•
Revise zoning on Hudson Street from R-4A to R-5 to preserve
residential character
•
Revise zoning on Clinton Street from C-2 to R-5 to phase out industrial
uses, promote a residential environment
•
Create an overlay zone for lower Beekman Avenue to preserve the
existing character and scale.

2.

Permitted uses
•
Explore additional uses to permit in the C-2 district to promote
flexibility and activity.
•
Eliminate the locational requirement for restaurant/food use.
•
Allow offices on upper floors.
•
Eliminate auto-oriented uses from the C-2 district.

3.

Parking
•
Review parking requirements to ensure they reflect a transit-oriented
downtown, don't present barriers to development.

O

4.

Development
incentives
•
Zoning incentives in the C-2 and R-5 districts.
•
Incentives for adaptive reuse.

5.

Approvals process
•
Adjust the requirement for site plans for a change of use, only
requiring it when parking demand would increase.

�BFJ Planning
Some of the above recommendations, such as map changes and changes to
approvals process, are fairly straightforward. Others, such as permitted uses
parking requirements, require some research, but are simple text changes to
zoning ordinance. The potential zoning incentives will require discussion with
Village, both to understand the specific types of development to be encouraged,
the packages of incentives that the Village is comfortable offering.

and

We assume that, on the Village's side, the project will be coordinated with a small
technical review committee including representatives of the Trustees, Planning Board,
and Zoning Board of Appeals, as well as yourself and Village Architect Sean McCarthy.
At the outset of the project, we will meet with this group to discuss the Comprehensive
Plan recommendations. At that meeting, we will share a summary of the
recommendations and any mapping or other information that will help provide context.
We will work with the committee to refine the zoning approach and share drafts of text
and map changes for discussion. Once we have a consensus on draft options, we will
discuss these at a briefing of the Board of Trustees. Based on the Trustees' feedback
and additional consultation with the committee, we will draft all proposed zoning text
amendments and map changes.
BFJ will assist the Trustees in its declaration of Lead Agency under the State
Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) and complete Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the full
Environmental Assessment Form (EAF), including all accompanying narrative, analysis
and mapping. Given the narrowly focused study area, we believe that the EAF can
provide detailed analysis of potential impacts on representative sites, which will allow
the Trustees to take a "hard look" at the potential zoning amendments. Any future
development proposed on specific sites would be subject to a site-specific
environmental review. Thus, we do not anticipate that a Generic Environmental Impact
Statement (GEIS) would be required. BFJ will prepare the SEQR Determination of
Significance (anticipated to be a Negative Declaration).
BFJ will present the proposed zoning amendments at a public hearing. Following the
hearing, we will meet with the Trustees to discuss any changes needed, and will make
revisions to the amendments as necessary.
Meetings
We will be available to attend up to three (3) meetings with the technical review
committee, including the kick-off meeting. We assume these meetings could be virtual
using Zoom or a similar platform.
We also suggest a virtual meeting with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce
early on in the process, to understand current (post-COVID) experiences of the
business community and whether any Comprehensive Plan recommendations may
need to evolve as a resuft.
Lastly, we assume four (4) meetings with the Trustees, in addition to the public hearing.
Given the targeted nature of the potential zoning changes and the extensive public
engagement process recently undertaken with the Comprehensive Plan, we do not
anticipate a need for a public workshop. However, if the Village desires this type of
event, we can plan for and facilitate it. This, and any other additional meetings, would
be billed on a time and expense basis.

Budget
BFJ proposes to complete the proposed project for $ 3 0 , 0 0 0 against the attached
2020 public billing rates. We propose to bill monthly on a time and expense basis not
to exceed this amount. Should the work be completed for less than the estimated
$30,000, the Village would be charged the lesser amount.
Timetable
We propose to complete the proposed project within a six (6) month timeframe, as
detailed on the attached project schedule.
Project Personnel
I will act as principal-in-charge for this project, with Simon Kates, AICP, LEED AP,
Associate Principal, providing technical and professional expertise throughout the
process. To the extent that any input on parking- or design-related zoning amendments
is needed, Georges Jacquemart, PE, AICP, and Jonathan Martin, AICP, Ph.D.,
respectively, can provide assistance in those areas.
Phasing of Future Work
In addition to the Inner Village zoning recommendations, the Comprehensive Plan
outlined a series of other recommended changes that we suggest the Village could
consider in a later phase. The approach to implementing these recommendations
would be similar to that outlined above, likely with a slightly shorter timeframe.
1.

Natural
•
•
•
•

Environment and Sustainability
Create lot coverage requirement
Solar zoning legislation
Incentives for green buildings and infrastructure
Steep slope ordinance

2.

Residential Neighborhoods
•
Look at how to allow for home-based businesses.
•
Review area/bulk provisions in the R-5 district.
•
Review setbacks in lower-density zones.
•
Explore allowing accessory dwelling units in single-family zones.

A countersignature below will serve as our authorization to proceed with work on the
proposed project. We look forward to working with you and the Village.
Sincerely,

Susan Favate, AICP

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF
SLEEPY HOLLOW,
TO SUPPORT THE ROUTE 9 ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION STUDY.
WHEREAS, interested residents and officials from the Villages of Hastings-onHudson, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow (the "Rivertowns")
have been working together since 2016 as a Steering Committee jointly studying
traffic, safety, pedestrian and bicycle access conditions in connection with their
shared "Route 9 Corridor;" and
WHEREAS, the new Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge includes a dedicated
bicycle/pedestrian lane, potentially bringing with it new transportation and
recreational opportunities to Rivertowns residents and a significant increase in
bicycle traffic on Route 9 from neighboring areas of Westchester, areas west of
the Hudson River and New York City; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution number 09/129/2016, dated 09/27/2016, this Board
approved an application formally submitted by Sustainable Westchester on
behalf of the Steering Committee and the five participating villages for a
$150,000 grant from the New NY Bridge Community Benefits Program to fund a
proposed Active Transportation Corridor Study and Plan along U.S. Route 9,
from Hastings through Sleepy Hollow and interconnecting with the planned
bicycle-pedestrian lane on the New NY Bridge (the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, after the application was favorably received and the grant was
awarded, the Steering Committee, through the administrative support of the
Village of Irvington, procured the services of transportation consultant Nelson
Nygaard to perform a conceptual study evaluating the potential for implementing
a shared roadway strategy along Route 9 (the "study); and
WHEREAS, the Study included extensive public outreach, including five openhouse sessions, a public survey and the maintenance of a website to share
information with and receive comments from the general public; and
WHEREAS, the Study illustrated a proposal for a bike-pedestrian connection
between the five Villages and the new Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, and examined
related issues concerning safety, transit access, traffic calming, walkability,
sidewalks, crosswalk configurations, parking availability and motor vehicle level of
service; and

�WHEREAS, the Steering Committee and Nelson Nygaard convened a public
meeting to present the completed Study to the public at Mercy College on
November 17, 2018 and whereas the completed study and other plan
documents continue to be available to the public on route9active.org; and
WHEREAS, this Board has been briefed on the Study and agrees that the ideas
contained therein are worthy of further consideration and pursuit;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved that the Village of Sleepy Hollow
1. Is desirous of working with its neighboring villages to achieve
mobility and safety enhancements; and
2. Recognizes the positive impact enhancements could offer for quality of
life of its residents and commercial vibrancy of their community; and
3. Supports and endorses additional efforts by the Steering Committee to
identify grants and other funding opportunities to continue studying the
Route 9 corridor; and
4. Directs that the Committee return to this Board for specific endorsement
before submitting additional grant or other funding applications in pursuit of
the Project.
