Town of Chili, NY: zoning for new construction

Single-Family Residential - The 50 ft width and 40 ft front setback shown apply on ordinary roads. On a lot fronting one of the major highways listed in § 500-59D, the width rises to 60 ft and the front setback to 75 ft.

Residential Multiple-Family - The 36,000 sq ft minimum is a minimum site, and yield comes from density: 8 units per gross acre where units are built as a linear series with no common hallways or entrances. No building may hold more than 12 units, and no more than six may be in a row.

• On a lot fronting one of the major highways listed in § 500-59D, the front setback is 75 ft.
• A building must also stand 40 ft from the street line of any interior project road, and side yards on townhouse party-wall lot lines may be zero.
• Minimum unit size is 550 sq ft for an efficiency, 700 for a one-bedroom and 850 for a two-bedroom, plus 150 sq ft for each additional bedroom.
• No more than 10% of all units may have three bedrooms or more.
• Coverage is calculated on the total project area, and all construction needs Planning Board site plan approval.
• Single-family dwellings and duplexes need a special permit; apartment houses, condominiums and cooperatives are permitted outright.

• The district states no maximum lot coverage.

Agricultural Conservation - The 5% coverage cap is the lowest in the town, and on a two-acre lot it allows about 4,350 sq ft of building footprint.

• A farm takes a separate column and five times the land: 10 acres on 500 ft of width with a 100 ft front setback, and its coverage allowance is five times as generous at 25%.
• The side and rear setbacks are the same 50 ft in both columns.
• The figures shown are the standards for a single-family dwelling.

Planned Residential Development - The 50 acres shown is the tract a proposal needs to qualify, not a lot minimum: it must contain at least 50 contiguous acres. Setbacks, height and coverage are set by the Planning Board at site plan review under Article V.

• On the serviced part an individual residential lot has both a minimum and a maximum: not less than 10,000 sq ft and not more than 20,000 sq ft, so a larger lot is as non-conforming as a smaller one.
• Multifamily units on the serviced part are capped at 10 units per acre.
• On the part not served by public sewer and water the minimum residential lot is 5 acres, increased as needed for the separation the County Department of Health requires around a well.
• There only agriculture and related residential uses, single-family residences and a customary home occupation are permitted outright.
• The application must be filed by the owner, lessee or all joint owners of the whole tract, and the approved plan binds every one of them.
• Manufactured homes are the one residential form excluded.
