The Town Board of the Town of North Greenbush finds that it
is in the best interests of the Town to provide for proper housing
of the Town's senior citizens. It is hereby recognized that the Town
has a high proportion of senior citizens living on fixed or limited
incomes, many with physical restrictions along with the accelerating
costs of maintaining a single-family residence, and the Town Board
deems it necessary to provide for such housing within the Town.
The purpose of this article is to amend the Zoning Code of the
Town of North Greenbush by adding a new zoning district to be known
as "SC Senior Citizens Housing District."
This article shall be known and cited as "Senior Citizens Housing
District."
The Town Board may, after Planning Board review, public notice and hearing, pursuant to §
197-63 of the Code of the Town of North Greenbush, approve the establishment of a Senior Citizens Housing District. Such district may be established in any existing zone. Approval of the district shall be subject to the following conditions.
Any rezoning permitted by this article shall be null and void
and the zoning of the parcel described therein shall revert back to
its original zoning classification unless a building permit is applied
for and actual construction commenced within two years from the date
of adoption of any rezoning.
