Port Jervis adopts Local Law No. 1 of 2026 amending neighborhood mixed-use bulk tables
Loading...
Summary
The Common Council adopted Local Law No. 1 of 2026 to amend section 5-35 of the city code (bulk tables under neighborhood mixed-use), after the code committee moved and council voted to adopt the SEQRA negative declaration and the law.
The Port Jervis Common Council voted on April 13 to adopt Local Law No. 1 of 2026, a zoning-code amendment to section 5-35 affecting bulk tables in the neighborhood mixed-use district.
Council member Jason McRoe introduced the motion, explaining the change addresses an error carried forward into the digital code that had removed accessory apartment provisions for some building types in the neighborhood mixed-use zone. McRoe and other council members characterized the amendment as corrective to align the code text with the council's intent.
A SEQRA negative declaration was moved and adopted prior to the local law vote, and council members said public hearing comments had been considered. The council then voted "Aye" and carried the motion to enact Local Law No. 1 of 2026.
What the law changes: the amendment revises the bulk-table entries under the neighborhood mixed-use zoning section (section 5-35) as presented on the agenda; the transcript records that accessory-apartment entries had been inadvertently deleted in an earlier conversion and that the amendment addresses that omission.
Council action: Local Law No. 1 of 2026 was adopted following a SEQRA negative declaration and council vote.
