Village of Sloatsburg, NY: zoning for new construction

Residential R-80 - At the floor area ratio of 0.075, a six-thousand-square-foot house needs eighty thousand square feet of land, exactly the lot minimum.

• The 300 ft minimum lot depth is a separate requirement from the 200 ft lot width, and the lot must meet both.

Residential R-40 - On a lot of the 150 ft minimum width, the 40 ft side setbacks on each side leave seventy feet for the building.

• The 200 ft minimum lot depth is a separate requirement from the lot width, and the lot must meet both.

Village Center 1 - The side setback may be reduced to zero where an existing building is attached to another existing building along a property line, which makes a continuous street wall possible.

• The 70 ft front setback applies on a lot as small as five thousand square feet, which pushes the building toward the back of the parcel.

Village Center 3 - The front setback depends on the street the lot faces: 20 ft on Route 17, and 10 ft on Mill Street or Municipal Plaza.

• A country inn center is a different row entirely: 2 acres rather than five thousand square feet, in exchange for 70% coverage, a 0.70 floor area ratio and three storeys.
• Its width, depth and yards do not change, and the schedule does not say whether it needs a discretionary approval, so check the use table before relying on it.
• No side setback is required on one side, but the two sides must add to at least 10 ft, so one side may carry all of it.

Office - On a lot of the 75 ft minimum width, the 25 ft side setbacks on each side leave twenty-five feet for the building.

• The 100 ft minimum lot depth is a separate requirement from the lot width, and the lot must meet both.

Light Industrial/Office - On a lot of the 150 ft minimum width, the 50 ft side setbacks on each side leave fifty feet for the building.

• The 250 ft minimum lot depth is a separate requirement from the lot width, and the lot must meet both.
