(1)
The Downtown Urban Renewal Area, as adopted by the
Village of Spring Valley Village Board of Trustees and the Village

on the west and to Memorial Park Drive on the east.

The amended zoning for the Downtown Urban Renewal
Area acts as an overlay district within the currently zoned GB traditional

[Amended 3-27-2007 by L.L. No. 1-2007]
(a)
It applies to lots that have a minimum size
of 20,000 square feet. Due to the fact that lots of 20,000 square
feet are not common within this area, these zoning requirements primarily
apply to cases of redevelopment that may entail combining lots and/or
the demolition of existing structures and the redevelopment of the
properties.
(b)
To promote home ownership and to provide a greater
degree of flexibility in site design within the Downtown Urban Renewal
Area, as an option at the request of the applicant, the Village Board
may by special permit and upon recommendation from the Planning Board
allow further subdivision of the lot to permit individual or multiple
unit ownership for the purposes of constructing a townhome dwelling,
two-family attached dwelling, or a mixture of townhomes and two-family
attached dwellings. In order to qualify for this option, the property
must have a lot area of 20,000 square feet inclusive of the property
to be further subdivided. This option shall not be available to applicants
with properties that do not meet the minimum lot area requirement
of 20,000 square feet.
(3)
Existing properties that do not meet the minimum lot
requirements of the Downtown Urban Renewal Area overlay district are
subject to existing GB zoning requirements.

center, which shall include, but is not limited to, computer access,
