Consistency review for Local Law Introductory 10 of 2026, the Coastal Assessment
Form (CAF) and Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) to amend Chapter 230,
Zoning of the Village Code to update provisions related to domestic animals and
farm animals
DATE: August 3, 2026
At its regularly scheduled meeting on July 28, 2026, the Planning Board reviewed the referral
from the Village Board regarding Local Law Introductory 10 of 2026.
The Planning Board stated that the draft local law was written to clarify the existing law by
outlining what is permitted, including the number of animals and the minimum lot size for
certain animals.
The Planning Board would like to point out that the way the draft local law is written, in certain
zoning districts in the Village, the setback regulations would allow you to have an accessory
dwelling unit, but not a chicken coop. In certain zoning districts, for example RA-5, it would be
hard to achieve the setback that would allow for a chicken coop.
