Town of Deerpark, NY: zoning for new construction

Hamlet/Mixed Use - The figures shown apply to land without public water or sewer. With service the minimums drop sharply, to as little as 10,000 square feet (0.2296 acre) on 100 ft of width and depth where there is public water and sewer.

• With public water and sewer: 10,000 square feet (0.2296 acre) on 100 ft of width and depth, a 20 ft side yard, and 20% building coverage.
• With public sewer but no public water: 15,000 square feet (0.3444 acre) on 100 ft of width and 150 ft of depth, a 20 ft side yard, and 20% building coverage.
• On shared sewer only: 25,000 square feet (0.5739 acre) on 125 ft of width and 200 ft of depth, with the same 35 ft yards and 40% building coverage as unserviced land.
• Total coverage is capped at 70% whatever the water and sewer service, separately from the 40% building coverage, so drives and parking count against a second limit.
• The 75 ft height allowance is subject to Fire Department capabilities.

Rural Residential - The figures shown apply to land with no public water or sewer. With public water and sewer the minimum lot falls to 10,000 square feet (0.2296 acre) on 100 ft of width and depth, and the side and rear yards to 20 ft.

• With public sewer but no public water, the minimum lot is 15,000 square feet (0.3444 acre) on 100 ft of width and 150 ft of depth, with 20 ft side and rear yards.
• On shared sewer only, the minimum lot is 25,000 square feet (0.5739 acre) on 125 ft of width and 200 ft of depth, and the 35 ft yards still apply.
• The 35 ft front yard applies whatever the water and sewer service.
• Building coverage is capped at 20%, with impervious coverage capped separately at 70%.
• A dwelling needs at least 1,000 square feet of floor area.

Residential Settlement - The two acre minimum lot size holds whether or not public water or sewer service is available, since RS carries a single set of figures rather than separate standards for served lots.

• The 35 ft side yard applies on each side of the lot.
• The 20% cap covers building coverage; no separate impervious surface coverage limit is published for this district.

Recreational River Corridor - Beyond the yard setbacks shown, buildings must stand 150 ft back from the river, and a lot needs 150 feet of river frontage.

• The figures apply whatever the water and sewer service, with no separate standards for served lots.
• Standards in this district carry out the river management plan the town is party to, so the river setback and frontage drive what fits on a lot.

Neighborhood Residential - The figures shown apply where the lot has no community wastewater service. Where community wastewater serves the lot, the minimum lot size falls to 0.5 acre and the front and rear yards each drop to 20 ft.

• The 35 ft side yard and the 20% building coverage cap apply whether or not the lot has community wastewater service.
• The 100 ft lot width, 200 ft lot depth, 35 ft height limit and 1,000 square foot minimum dwelling size are the same either way.

Industrial - The figures shown apply to a lot with no public water or sewer, 40,000 square feet, the binding case for most land here. With public water and sewer the lot can be 0.2296 acre on 100 ft of width and depth, with 20 ft front and rear yards.

• With public sewer but no public water, the lot is 0.3444 acre on 100 ft of width and 150 ft of depth, with 20 ft front and rear yards.
• On shared sewer only, the lot is 0.5739 acre on 125 ft of width and 200 ft of depth, and the 35 ft front and rear yards still apply.
• The 15 ft side yard on one side does not change with water or sewer service.
• Building coverage is capped at 40%, with impervious coverage capped separately at 70%.
• The 75 ft height allowance is subject to Fire Department capabilities.

Interchange Business - The figures shown apply where the lot has no public water and sewer, 40,000 square feet. Where service is available the minimum lot size is smaller, and in some cases the front and rear yards are too, so confirm what serves the parcel first.

• With public water and sewer, the minimum lot is 0.2296 acre on 100 ft of width and depth, with 20 ft front and rear yards.
• With public sewer but no public water, the minimum lot is 0.3444 acre on 100 ft of width and 150 ft of depth, with 20 ft front and rear yards.
• On shared sewer only, the minimum lot is 0.5739 acre on 125 ft of width and 200 ft of depth, and the 35 ft front and rear yards do not change.
• The 15 ft side yard on one side is the same whatever water and sewer service the lot has.
• Beyond the 40% building coverage, impervious coverage is capped separately at 70%.
• The 75 ft height allowance is subject to Fire Department capabilities.
