Town of Coeymans, NY: zoning for new construction

General Business - Hotels and apartment houses are principal permitted uses in B-1. The schedule publishes no lot coverage percentage here, for principal or accessory buildings.

Planned Commercial - Every use in C-1P requires site plan review. The schedule publishes no lot coverage percentage here, for principal or accessory buildings.

• The schedule publishes the minimum lot area as 25,000 sq ft.

Community Facility - 1 - The schedule sets only setbacks in CF-1, 25 ft to the front, rear and side, and publishes nothing for lot area, lot width, coverage or height.

Community Facility - 2 - The schedule publishes no dimensional figure of any kind for CF-2. It lists only the district's uses, sewage treatment facilities and resident custodial housing.

Industrial - 1 - The schedule publishes no maximum height for I-1. I-1, I-2 and I-3P share one dimensional row and differ only in permitted use, not in bulk.

• Coverage for accessory buildings is marked Total rather than a percentage.

Industrial - 2 - The schedule publishes no maximum height for I-2. I-1, I-2 and I-3P share one dimensional row and differ only in permitted use, not in bulk.

• Coverage for accessory buildings is marked Total rather than a percentage.

Planned Industrial - The schedule publishes no maximum height for I-3P. I-1, I-2 and I-3P share one dimensional row and differ only in permitted use, not in bulk.

• Every use in I-3P requires site plan review.
• Coverage for accessory buildings is marked Total rather than a percentage.

Industrial Buffer - The schedule publishes no figures for I-B. Its entry points to the supplementary regulations instead.

Single-Family Residence - Where neither water nor sewer is available the parcel is governed by the Residential and Agricultural standards instead, and the lot minimum goes from 15,000 sq ft to 80,000.

• Without water and sewer the lot needs 1.8365 acres, the front yard 40 ft, the side yards 30 ft each and 60 ft combined, and the rear yard 50 ft.
• In that same case building coverage is halved, from 30% of the lot to 15%, while the height ceiling rises to 40 ft and three storeys.
• The side yard is a pair: 15 ft on one side and 30 ft for the two combined.
• Minimum first-floor living area is 900 sq ft for a one-storey house and 750 sq ft for two to 2 1/2 storeys.
• Accessory buildings are capped separately, by a share of the lot and by minimum distances to the house and to the side and rear lot lines.

Single & Two Family Residence - The 800 sq ft minimum first-floor area applies to a one-storey house; for two to 2 1/2 storeys it is 650 sq ft. Single-family and two-family dwellings are both permitted by right in R-2, on one shared set of figures.

• The schedule caps accessory buildings separately, by percent of lot and by minimum distance to the principal building and to the side and rear lot lines.

Multifamily Residence - R-3 sets no flat minimum lot area. The schedule publishes 2,500 sq ft per dwelling unit and nothing else, so the number of units sets the land needed.

• Minimum first-floor area is 1,200 sq ft for a one-storey building and 1,000 sq ft for two to three storeys.
• Row houses, apartment houses and garden apartments are all principal permitted uses in R-3.
• The schedule caps accessory buildings separately, by percent of lot and by minimum distance to the principal building and to the side and rear lot lines.

Planned Residential - Every use in R-4P requires site plan review and approval. The 800 sq ft minimum first-floor area applies to a one-storey house; for two to three storeys it is 650 sq ft.

• The schedule caps accessory buildings separately, by percent of lot and by minimum distance to the principal building and to the side and rear lot lines.

Residential & Agricultural - R-A governs more land than the map shows for it: an R-1 parcel is governed as R-A wherever public water and sewer are unavailable.

• The 750 sq ft minimum first-floor area applies to dwellings only, not to the district's farm and agricultural uses.
• The schedule caps accessory buildings separately, by percent of lot and by minimum distance to the principal building and to the side and rear lot lines.

Residential Agricultural Limited - The schedule gives R-A1 its own row of uses but leaves every dimensional column blank, so it publishes no lot area, width, coverage, setback or height.

• The district's uses are all those of R-A, plus motels, golf courses, sand and gravel pits and gasoline stations by special permit.
