Create a sustainable mix of commercial and residential uses within the hamlets

A ​“sus­tain­able mix of com­mer­cial and res­i­den­tial uses” refers to the bal­ance of both of these uses in the ham­lets so that one sup­ports the oth­er. Increased oppor­tu­ni­ties for hous­ing in the ham­lets would not only pro­vide busi­ness­es with a built-in cus­tomer base, it would also pro­vide res­i­dents with imme­di­ate access to the hamlet’s ameni­ties, ser­vices and trans­porta­tion oppor­tu­ni­ties. Com­mer­cial, retail and busi­ness estab­lish­ments should enable Town res­i­dents to ful­fill their dai­ly needs, and should include the pro­vi­sion of leisure and enter­tain­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties. An analy­sis of devel­op­ment and infill oppor­tu­ni­ties with­in each of the exist­ing ham­lets should be per­formed with con­sid­er­a­tion of envi­ron­men­tal and infra­struc­tur­al con­di­tions and con­straints, com­mu­ni­ty needs and the pub­lic vision as estab­lished in this Com­pre­hen­sive Plan. Exist­ing zon­ing should be exam­ined and revised to bet­ter facil­i­tate the revi­tal­iza­tion of the ham­lets. As part of the revi­tal­iza­tion, addi­tion­al park­ing should be pro­vid­ed in the Chap­paqua ham­let in prox­im­i­ty to busi­ness­es and amenities.
