The Board of Trustees may rezone any property
in the C Residence District to CA Residence District if and only if
such property measures at least 13,500 square feet in contiguous area
and was not developed in whole or part with any residential uses for
a continuous period of not less than 10 years immediately prior to
the effective date of this chapter. In a CA Residence District, the
following regulations shall apply.
A building may be erected, altered or used and
a lot or premises may be used for the following purposes, and for
no other:
A. Single-family townhouses, including the office, studio
or occupational room of a professional person, such as a physician,
dentist, lawyer, artist, architect, real estate broker, engineer or
accountant or other similar uses that may be authorized by the Board
of Zoning Appeals when located in the same apartment or suite of rooms
in which the practitioner resides and incidental to such residential
use, and provided that there is no display of goods or advertising
other than a sign not larger than six inches by 12 inches attached
to the building and bearing only the name and occupation (words only)
of the practitioner.
No building shall be greater than 2 1/2
stories and 33 feet in height to peak.
[Amended 10-10-2006 by L.L. No. 2-2006]
The lot coverage shall not exceed 35% of the
lot area.
There shall be two side yards, one on each side
of the main building, each having a minimum width of at least 20 feet,
except that where there are two or more main buildings upon the plot,
the minimum side yard requirement of 20 feet shall apply only along
the side property lines of the entire plot.
There shall be a rear yard, the depth of which
shall be at least 25 feet.
Cornices, eaves, gutters or bay windows projecting
not more than 24 inches are hereby permitted as encroachments.
No property in the CA Residence District shall
be utilized for greater than one living unit per 2,500 square feet

an independent sewerage system or installation approved by the Nassau
County Department of Health is constructed for the sanitary disposal
of the sewage of such buildings.
Any rezoning of eligible property to the CA Residence District shall proceed in compliance with the disclosure provisions of Article
XII. The Board of Trustees shall ensure that any such hearing shall also be on at least 10 days' written notice to each residence in the Village. There shall be compliance with the hearing procedure applicable to amendments under Article
XIV. The process shall start with the filing of a petition to the Board of Trustees setting forth the proposed development, accompanied by a site plan indicating the proposed placement of structures and buildings on the site. Such site plan shall conform to the requirements of Article
XV, §
250-112, and shall set forth such additional information as may be required by the Building Inspector or Board of Trustees. If the Board of Trustees shall determine to grant the rezoning, it shall have the power to vary any regulations set forth in this article, as part of its site plan approval process under Article
XV, §
250-112, except that it shall not have the authority to vary the applicability standards of §
250-44 of this article. Upon the grant of rezoning, and the processing and approval of a building permit application, the property may be developed in compliance with the approved site plan and any and all conditions imposed by the Board of Trustees and Building Inspector. The time limits shall be as set forth at Article
XII, §§
250-90 and
250-91.
After property has been rezoned to CA Residence District, every subsequent application for a building permit for new buildings or building expansion in the CA Residence District shall be subject to the preparation of a new site plan and the conduct of a public hearing before the Board of Trustees, as set forth under Article
XV, §
250-112, of this chapter. Such approval shall be in addition to any variances or special exceptions which may be required from the Board of Zoning Appeals.
