RE: Recommendation to Village Board regarding Local Law Introductory 12 of 2024,
amending the Zoning Law of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, Chapter 230, to
align the zoning regulations with current planning and development needs.
DATE: November 8, 2024
At its regularly scheduled meetings on November 5th, 2024, the Planning Board reviewed the
referral from the Village Board regarding Local Law Introductory 12 of 2024.
In the proposed law, a boarder or roomer is defined as:
“A person who permanently occupies a room in a single-family dwelling unit for sleeping
purposes for which they pay compensation to the property owner.”
Currently, under Village code, you can have up to three boarders in the RB district, and one
boarder in other residential districts, with no permits required, and no oversight. The Planning
Board had many questions, and wanted to clarify how the word “Permanently” will be
determined.
The Planning Board also had questions regarding a distinction between family members, such
as adult children who move back in with their parents, or elderly parents who move in with adult
children as they are in need of care.
The Planning Board is looking for clarification on the boarder definition as well as the reason for
this new local law.
The Planning Board did not feel that the draft law was clear enough to make a proper
recommendation, specifically regarding the definition of a Boarder. Other than the boarder
section, the Planning Board had no objections with the other changes proposed in the law.
