Village of Hillburn, NY: zoning for new construction

Open Space - Hillburn sets bulk per use, not per district, and the figures shown are the row for a park or playground. Public utility lines and rights-of-way serving the immediate neighbourhood are permitted by right on the same figures.

• Utility lines and rights-of-way that do not serve the immediate neighbourhood need a special use permit and site plan approval, on the same figures.
• Accessory buildings have their own required distances, measured to the principal building, the front street, the side street, the exterior side lot line and the rear lot line.

Residence - The side setbacks must add to at least 100 ft, so 40 ft on each side falls twenty feet short. Hillburn sets bulk per use, so the figures shown are one row among several.

• A place of worship, a community facility, a fire, police or ambulance building or a public utility substation shares one row, by special use permit with site plan approval.
• That row's yards are deeper than a house's on every side: 200 ft of width, 75 ft in front, 50 ft to each side with 125 ft for the pair and 100 ft to the rear.
• An animal sanctuary is possible by special use permit, on three acres with a two-hundred-foot width.
