lagoon, and components of the original Wastewater Treatment Plant for the facility. Remediation of these elements was undertaken and substantially completed by May 1996. Subsequent investigation and feasibility studies determined that the non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) located around the former wastewater treatment plant lagoon is the only remaining environmental media requiring remedial action. Remediation of this area was underway as of the writing of this Plan. PAGE 33 CROTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 3.3 Zoning and Land Use a. Land Use and Zoning District Categories The Village covers an area of 4.9 square miles of land, most of it zoned for residential use. The predominant non-residential uses consist of: open space and park areas; commercial districts located in the Upper Village and along North and South Riverside Avenues and Maple Street; and industrial/transportation areas associated with the Metro North facilities, Metro Enviro, and the tire distribution center located west of Routes 9 and 9A. Several small office districts are located in the Upper Village, North Riverside, the Municipal Place area, and at the north end of the Village. A brief description of land uses and zoning districts is summarized below and shown in Figures 3.4: Existing Land Uses and 3.5: Existing Zoning. Residential Uses. Croton-on-Hudson’s pattern of development is typical of many villages: the highest density neighborhoods (those with more houses per acre of land) are situated closer to the commercial centers, with the density decreasing farther away from these centers. The neighborhoods situated closest to the Village’s four commercial centers – Harmon, the Upper Village, North Riverside and the Municipal Place area – consist primarily of single family homes built on 5,000 and 9,375 square foot lots. These neighborhoods also contain the majority of the two- and multifamily residences in the Village. Moving away from the commercial centers, the lot sizes increase to 25,000 and 40,000 square foot lots. Section 3.5: Housing Trends covers Croton-on-Hudson’s housing characteristics in greater detail.

Single Family Housing. Croton-on-Hudson has four single-family residential zoning districts: RA-5, RA-9, RA-25 and RA-40. The districts range in density, as shown in Table 3.6, permitting from th homes built on 1/8 acre lots (RA-5) to homes on one acre lots (RA40). The northern area of the Village is zoned primarily for RA-40 lots, with the exception of a small RA-25 district and an office district in the northwest corner of the Village. The density increases closer to the commercial centers and south of the Upper Village, with lots ranging from 5,000 to 25,000 square feet. Multi-family Residential. The Village has two zoning districts permitting multi-family residential: RB (two-family residences) and RC (multi-family residences). These districts are limited to the Upper Village and North Riverside Avenue. The Village has two PAGE 34 CORTLANDT Hudson National Golf Club H U D S O N R I V E NEW CASTLE R OSSINING Croton Point County Park Village of Croton-On-Hudson, NY Figure 3.4.

The WD district along the Hudson River between Croton Point and Senasqua Park also permits multi-family development. The Half Moon Bay condominium development is located in that area. Commercial Centers. The Village has four commercial centers: the Upper Village, North Riverside, the Municipal Place area, and the South Riverside/Harmon shopping area, which use approximately 2% of Village land uses. These districts are zoned C1 and C2, for central commercial and general commercial uses respectively. C1 commercial districts are zoned for a floor area ratio (FAR) of 2.0, which reflects the development in older commercial areas such as the Upper Village and North Riverside. C2 districts have an FAR of 0.5, which reflects the existing bulk in those areas. There were previously three C1 districts in the Village: the Upper Village,
