Memo dated February 26, 2026 from the Planning Board to Mayor Brian Pugh and the Village Board recommending adoption of Local Law Introductory 5 of 2026, which would amend Chapter 230, Zoning, to allow occupational preferences in affordable housing. The board raised implementation questions, including whether residents must remain in the preferred occupation, whether part-time workers qualify, and whether home health aides must work for an agency; it favored flexibility to include part-time employees and asked that the veterans category be expanded to include Reservists.

Members JOHN GHEGAN GEOFFREY HAYNES STEVEN KRISKY EVA THADDEUS Attorney JOSHUA B. SUBIN Village Engineer VINCENT SALANITRO, P.E. TO: Mayor Brian Pugh and the Village Board of Trustees FROM: Chairman Luntz, Planning Board RE: Recommendation to Village Board regarding Local Law Introductory 5 of 2026, the EAF and CAF to amend Chapter 230, Zoning, of the Code of the Village of Croton- on-Hudson to amend provisions relating to Affordable Housing to allow for certain occupational preferences. DATE: February 26, 2026 At its regularly scheduled meeting on February 26, 2026, the Planning Board reviewed the referral from the Village Board regarding Local Law Introductory 5 of 2026. With input from Village Attorney Joshua Subin, the Planning Board discussed the history surrounding the discussion of occupational preferences related to affordable housing. The Planning Board had questions regarding the implementation of this local law including, whether or not there would be an expectation for a person to continue in the preferred occupation while living in the affordable housing, if the law would allow for both part-time and full-time workers, and whether a home health aide would need to work for an agency, or if they could be independly employed. The Planning Board would be in favor of flexibility to include part-time employees. The Planning Board would like for the category of United States Veteran’s to be expanded to include Reservists. As there is no other action required, the Planning Board recommends adoption of the local law with the above recommendations taken into consideration.
