Yorktown Hires Planning Firm To Help With Overlay District

YORKTOWN, NY — Yorktown has hired a regional planning firm to help with the town's proposed overlay district zoning.

At a recent meeting, the Town Board chose Buckhurst Fish & Jacquemart Planning to assist with the review of the proposal required by the State Environmental Quality Review Act.

What is being considered is the creation of overlay districts in the Yorktown Heights and Lake Osceola business hamlets to encourage creative redevelopment, according to a news release.

The overlay zones would allow a great diversity of permitted uses with the goal of revitalizing specific neighborhoods.

Buckhurst has a long history of planning work in Westchester County.

Recent projects include updating the White Plains comprehensive plan and assisting the Ossining Village Board in the adoption of a comprehensive plan.
