Hudson Valley: 156 Route 59, Suite C6, Suffern, NY 10901  845.368.1472 Long Island: 70 Maxess Road, Melville, NY 11747  631.427.5665 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Valerie Monastra, AICP SUBJECT: Edits to Animal Regulations DATE: June 22, 2026 CC: Mayor Pugh and Members of the Village Board of Trustees At the May 27, 2026, Village Board work session, the Board reviewed potential zoning amendments to Section 230-9.1 for farm animals. It was agreed at that meeting to limit the type of fowl allowed on a residential property to chickens and ducks. In addition, the Board wanted to see a larger setback requirement for zoning districts with lots larger than 5,000 SF. The attached revised zoning amendments incorporate these items. There are still a few remaining questions about the edits to this section that the Board needs to address before we can conclude this work. They are as follows: 1) We would like the Village Board to confirm that fowl permitted on a property will be limited to chickens and ducks. 2) Does the Village Board want to consider edits to the farm animals as well, and which animals do they want to allow? I am providing a list of the typical farm animals: goats, horses, cows, pigs, rabbits, sheep, and alpacas/llamas. 3) The Village Board has an option to move forward with the chickens and duck revisions first, or would they prefer to wait and include edits on the other farm animals?
