To promote
and support implementation of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities
Council’s report entitled “Greenway Connections,”
as a Village land use, development and design guideline to the extent
applicable to the Village by Local Law No. 2 of the year 2016, the
Village of Red Hook has adopted Greenway Connections: Greenway Compact
Program and Guides for Dutchess County Communities, as amended from
time to time, as statement of land use policies, principles, and guides.
In its discretionary actions under this section, the reviewing agency
should be guided by said statement of policies and guides where and
whenever appropriate.

The land uses most appropriate in this district include lower-density
single-family residences and the public facilities which complement
them (e.g., parks and schools). Residential lot sizes would be determined
by the capacity of the land to absorb septic waste, but would, in
no case, be less than 20,000 square feet per dwelling unit. The relatively
undeveloped character of these areas provide opportunities for preserving
open space, especially through clustering.
B.
Permitted accessory uses, buildings and other structures shall be
as follows:
(1)
Accessory uses of buildings as defined herein.
(2)
Accessory buildings and structures customarily associated with the
permitted principal uses' buildings and structures.

Between the yards of a dwelling:
(a)
Outdoor storage of not more than two of the following: boat,
boat trailer, camp trailer, cargo trailer, any of which shall be only

them (e.g., parks and schools). Residential lot sizes would be determined
by the capacity of the land to absorb septic waste, but would not,

[Amended 7-13-2015 by L.L. No. 1-2015; 2-14-2022 by L.L. No. 2-2022]
The Gateway Business District is intended to serve as the eastern
gateway and entrance to the Village and provide a visual transition
from rural to commercial uses as lots become more densely developed.
The established setbacks, maximum building sizes and uses are compatible
with existing mixed-use development, built context and traditional
development patterns of the nearby General Business (GB) District
and consistent with the Dutchess County Greenway Compact Guide.
The Gateway Business District seeks to continue the front yard
setbacks/build-to line of the adjacent zoning districts by emphasizing
visual and physical access to retail/commercial storefronts along
the tree-lined sidewalk for pedestrians. The consistent build-to line
will help establish and maintain an active, small urban corridor shared
by vehicles, while encouraging pedestrian safety and mobility by limiting
the number of curb cuts per property and locating vehicular parking
and loading zones in rear yards and/or screened side yards of properties.
Lot coverage in the Gateway Business District is significantly
less than in the nearby General Business District. This, coupled with
the requirement for a side yard setback, creates a visual distinction
between the denser General Business District and this transition district.
A.
Site plan approval. All uses permitted in this district shall be subject to site plan approval as provided by § 200-16.

impact analysis justifies additional curb cuts. In no case shall there
be more than one entrance and one exit per lot on any individual public
street.

Width. No entrance or exit shall have a width greater than 25 feet.

The land uses most appropriate in this mixed use district are
residential and commercial uses. The commercial uses should be designed
to service primarily the adjacent residential neighborhood and secondarily
the Village. Such uses should supplement the commercial uses on South
Broadway and Market Streets. All development to the district should
