RFP’s and Documents & Resources

As the actions of the Comprehensive Plan are implemented, the Town will seek consulting services and other assistance as may be necessary to effectively implement the goals and objectives of the plan. These RFP’s and other requests can be found here. In addition there is a wealth of documents and resources that have been produced over time that have helped inform the Comprehensive Plan. You can find those documents here as well.

Request for Proposal

The Comprehensive Plan discussion on establishing a livable built environment and a resilient economy has identified goals to further these objectives. Some of these goals include:

  • Locating higher density residential development in the hamlets, with density of development decreasing as distance from the hamlet centers increases;
  • Facilitating a range of housing types that are affordable to a diverse residential population in the hamlets and surrounding areas;
  • Creating a sustainable mix of commercial and residential uses within the hamlets;
  • Creating a vibrant and walkable mixed-use area in the hamlets that are well connected to public transit.

These are just a few of the goals. The actions to implement these goals vary in their nature-from a study or analysis, to a capital project. There are many ways to meet these goals. The Town of New Castle is interested in revising the existing commercial zoning legislation within the Chappaqua Hamlet to help meet the goals of the 2017 Comprehensive Plan. The RFP below has been released to obtain a qualified consultant to work with town to establish a new, Form-Based Zoning Code.

Questions regarding the RFP should be directed to cpapes@mynewcastle.org.

A highly recommended pre-proposal conference has been scheduled for December 18, 2018 (9:00AM).

Proposals are due on January 25, 2019.
