[Amended 11-17-2014 by L.L. No. 9-2014]
A. 
Legislative Intent. The Historic Commons Zoning District preserves the remaining open spaces on the southern portion of the west side of South Broadway and maintains the existing pattern of development between South Broadway and the Hudson River. The Historic Commons District preserves the visual integrity of several historic resources including Lyndhurst and Sunnyside, both of which are National Historic Landmarks and listed on the National Register of Historic Places; and the Old Croton Aqueduct, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; and the landscape surrounding each of these resources. In addition, the area lies wholly within the Tappan Zee East Scenic District designated June 29, 1993, by the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation under authority of Article 49 of the Environmental Conservation Law. Article 49 of the Environmental Conservation Law authorizes the Department of Environmental Conservation to designate scenic areas in the state and provides that areas so designated must contain positive aesthetic elements of regional, statewide or national significance, and must have aesthetically recognizable boundaries. It is the intent of this section to reinforce through clarification of the zoning code applicable to this area, as adopted on February 7, 2001, the purpose of ensuring that any new development or reuse of existing structures within the Historic Commons District is consistent with single-family use on large lots designed to complement the single-family use, and architecturally compatible with the historic resources and visual quality of existing buildings, landscapes and sites.
B. 
General provisions.
(1) 
All uses permitted in the HC Zone shall be subject to site development plan approval. (See Article XVI.)

Site improvements, including roadways, drainage infrastructure, landscaping and lighting shall not negatively affect, to the maximum extent practicable, the visual character of the subject property or of views across the subject property from adjacent properties.
(3) 
In structures designated as historic structures, the Zoning Board of Appeals may permit the conversion of a one-family dwelling into a maximum of three separate dwelling units where such conversion is necessary to preserve the historic structures, provided that each dwelling unit shall contain the minimum livable floor area required in that district and further subject to the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness by the Architectural Review Board (§ 9-6B).
