parking even if they do not meet the minimum parking requirements for the use.
The difference between the number of spaces that the existing use is required to
provide and the number of spaces that it provides shall be considered a credit that
carries forward with the building (unless the building is enlarged, expanded, or

At the time of any change in use within existing buildings that are legally
nonconforming with respect to parking as described in Section A above, the credit
may be deducted from the parking requirements of the new use. If the new use

A.

At Paragraph A to read as follows:

A.
Purposes. It is recognized that the SPR encompasses a unique resource within the

public amenities and a major potential for redevelopment. To provide an incentive which
will further encourage the most appropriate use and development of the Village's various
land holdings along with those of other government related or private entities in a
manner designed to achieve adopted planning objectives and to further the policies and
purposes of the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program, the Village may allow, only by application for a special permit and following a
public hearing held on notice duly given in the same manner as required by law for
zoning amendments, an increased building bulk (i.e., floor area ratio and/or building
height), relief from required setbacks, nonresidential uses on the upper floors of mixed
use buildings, relief from parking and loading requirements.

��Section 10. The Code of the Village of Sleepy Hollow is amended by adding a new
Article XVIII to read as follows:
Article XVIII
Lower Beekman Avenue Design Standards Overlay District
§450-105.

Findings and Purpose.

Lower Beekman Avenue has a decidedly residential character, with large, generally wellmaintained homes set back from the sidewalk with small front yards, porches or stoops,
and many mature street trees. Some of these homes have been converted to two- or
three-family homes. The overall effect is to establish an attractive, walkable
neighborhood that serves as a link between the downtown and the waterfront and can take
advantage of both portions of the Village. Non-residential uses that are currently allowed
in the C-2 district are appropriate on Lower Beekman Avenue, such as professional
offices, child-care, or small boutiques, but the predominant visual character of the area
should be preserved.
§450-106.

Location.

The boundary of the Lower Beekman Avenue Design Standards Overlay District
("LBADS Overlay District") is current lots on Beekman Avenue west of Kendall Avenue
and east of Clinton Street.
§450-107.

Applicable Regulations.

All projects within the LBADS Overlay District shall comply with the regulations set
forth in the underlying zoning except to the extent of regulations set forth in the annexed
"Lower Beekman Avenue Design Standards Overlay District Regulations Booklet."
Section 11. The Code of the Village of Sleepy Hollow is amended by adding a new
Article XIX to read as follows:
Article XIX
Adaptive Reuse of Religious, Educational, and Institutional Buildings
§450-108

Findings and purpose.

The purpose of this section is to prevent the demolition of and foster the renovation and
reuse of structures originally constructed for religious, educational, or institutional uses,
which have historic, architectural, economic, cultural or other value to the Village and are
at risk of becoming underutilized, vacant or demolished. This section encourages the
adaptive and flexible reuse of such buildings to allow more economic and efficient use of
the property. Special regulations are appropriate to this type of reuse because of the
difficulty present in adapting these structures to allow economic and efficient use of the
property.

Site plan approval.

The granting of a special permit for other than demolition of a religious, educational, or
institutional structure pursuant to Section 450-112 shall require compliance with site plan
review requirements.

Area, height, setback, etc. modifications.

The Planning Board may modify minimum lot area, height, stories, minimum lot
frontage, maximum coverage, maximum habitable floor area, minimum lot width, and

��§450-116.

Additional conditions.

The Planning Board may attach such additional conditions to a special permit granted
under this section as may be necessary to protect the neighborhood surrounding the
property and to encourage the most appropriate adaptive reuse of the buildings and

��The Neighborhood Storefront Building Typology is permissible at corner lots, street
intersections, or at street terminated vistas only. The Neighborhood Storefront Typology
is prohibited from mid-block areas unless providing a terminated vista to a side street.
Ground plane
o May be a hardscape continuation of the sidewalk or landscaped (or combination).
Glazing requirement
o Minimum of 80% of the street-level, street facing building area (between 0' and
12' above the sidewalk) shall be clear, non-reflective glass,
o The storefront facade base panel or kickplate may not be greater than 2-ft in
height.
Build-to-zone
o Minimum front yard setback of 3 feet and maximum front yard setback of 10 feet,
o Within the build-to-zone, the following edge elements are allowed:
• Raised edge
• Outdoor seating

installed. Movable planters are encouraged.
Garage doors, parking areas, drop-off, or delivery zones, loading docks, port cochere, and
semi-circular driveways are prohibited within the build-to zone.
No new sidewalk curb cuts are permissible in the Overlay District except for vehicular
access provisions accommodating public use, emergency vehicle access or public
parking.
Setbacks and Sky Exposure Plane:
o A Sky Exposure Plane is intended to preserve equitable access to light and air to
the front yard and rear yard areas. Massing must meet the following front and rear
setback requirements, which are indicated as height limits:
• 0-ft to 18-ft from sidewalk edge: 45-ft
• 15-ft to 80-ft from sidewalk edge: 55-ft
80-ft and greater from sidewalk edge: 25-ft

• A vertical architectural projection or enclosure to provide roof access is
permissible above building height limits if the enclosure is less than 10-ft
in height and is no more than 8-fit wide in any direction containing not
more than 65 square feet of occupiable space. Ornamental roof typologies
are recommended, and enclosures must contain a minimum of 70%
glazing. Flagpoles or finials are encouraged. No enclosure may be within
30-ft of another enclosure.
Building articulation
• Some combination of the following design elements should be included in
a rhythm or pattern that complements the horizontal modulation and
roofline modulation:
• Repeating distinctive window patterns
• Balconies or bay windows
• Alternating dormers, stepped roofs, gables, or other roof elements
including turrets, towers, campanile, etc.
• Varying materials and textures
