least 5% of the area of the parking lot shall be devoted to landscaping
within the interior of the parking area.
(2) Minimum required off-street parking and loading, O-RE District or
BE District. Off-street parking and loading requirements shall be
determined by the Planning Board to the extent reasonable and necessary
to accommodate the principal and accessory uses permitted in the O-RE
District or BE District as part of site plan approval. Parking and
loading areas in the O-RE District or BE District are to be located
not less than 100 feet from the boundary of any residence district
in the Town of Ossining or any adjoining municipality and not less
than 30 feet from any other lot line. Furthermore, in parking lots

be devoted to landscaping within the interior of the parking area.
B. Maximum permitted in O-RB, O-RE and BE.
(1) Building height: 35 feet.
(2) Lot coverage (buildings): 25%.
(3) Height limitations of this section shall not apply to ventilators,

above the roof level, provided that:
(a)
The aggregate area covered by all such features shall not exceed
20% of the area of the roof of the building on which they are located.
(b)
The height of each such feature shall not exceed 15 feet above
the level of such roof.
(c)
Such features as water tanks, cooling towers and bulkheads shall
be enclosed with walls of a material and design in harmony with that
of the main walls of the building of which they are a part, which
material and design shall be subject to approval by the Planning Board.
(d)
In a BE District, the maximum permitted building height specified
above may be increased to 50 feet when a substantial portion of such
additional height is used to house or enclose ventilators, water tanks,
bulkheads, etc., at the roof level, provided that such roofs or enclosures
are of materials and design which are in harmony with the main walls
and roofs of the building of which they are a part, which materials
and design shall be subject to approval by the Planning Board.
C. Note No. 1. Any parcel in the O-RB District or the O-RE District
which has an area of 10 acres or more may be subdivided and subsequently
sold or leased. Each subdivision shall be subject to the Subdivision
Regulations of the Town of Ossining and the following special requirements:
(1) Minimum lot size.
(a)
Within the O-RB District and the O-RE District, each principal
building, together with its accessory buildings, shall be located

No principal or accessory buildings shall be located:
[1]
Less than 200 feet from the boundary of a residence district
in any municipality and less than 100 feet from the boundary of any
commercial district.
[2]
Highways.
[a] Less than 100 feet from the right-of-way of a limited-access
highway, except that when the distance from the property line of the
lot to the pavement of the limited-access highway is in excess of
50 feet, the minimum setback from the property line shall be 50 feet.
[b] Less than 100 feet from any other highway or public
street right-of-way, except for a local street located entirely within
and serving only properties within the O-RB District or the O-RE District,
for which the minimum setback shall be 50 feet.
[3]
Less than 50 feet from any other lot lines.
(b)
No accessory off-street parking and truck loading or maneuvering
area shall be located:
[1]
Less than 200 feet from the boundary of a residence district
in any municipality or less than 50 feet from the boundary of any
commercial district. Notwithstanding the above, the Planning Board
may allow a maximum of a fifty-foot reduction in the above-specified
two-hundred-foot dimension, where it has been clearly demonstrated
to the Planning Board that adverse impacts will not result from such
reduction, because of such mitigation matters as topography or natural
screening, and/or such man-made screening as the Board directs.
[2]
Less than 10 feet from the boundary of any adjacent lot within
the O-RB District or the O-RE District.
[3]

[b] Less than 40 feet from the right-of-way of any
other highway or public street, except for a local street located

[4]
No truck-loading facilities of any type, including platforms,
shall be permitted along the wall of any building where such wall
faces a limited-access highway or street.
[5]
No parking facilities shall be located within 10 feet of the
wall of any building where such wall faces any street or highway.
(3) Street access and frontage. Each lot shall have a minimum frontage
of 200 feet on a street or private way; provided, however, that the
Planning Board may approve a lesser frontage to a minimum of 100 feet
for lots located on culs-de-sac or on street curves, or those having
other unusual characteristics.
(4) Spacing between buildings. No building, other than an accessory building
with ground coverage of less than 1,000 square feet, shall be located
closer to another building than a distance equal to the height of
the higher building, and in no event less than 30 feet therefrom,
whether or not connected to such building by a canopy, enclosed walkway
or similar structure.
