The Town of Eastchester's law department introduced a proposed local law to amend sections of Local Law No. 5 of 2000 (the town zoning law) to add standards for stormwater management and erosion and sediment control as part of planning board, site plan and architecture review.
The law department representative said the draft must be referred to the county for a 30-day review under the General Municipal Law before a hearing. He recommended not scheduling the earliest meeting but set a public hearing for May 5, 2026 to allow the statutory referral and review period. The board voted to schedule the hearing.
No details of substantive provisions were read into the record beyond the stated purpose to incorporate appropriate stormwater management practices and erosion and sediment control measures into the town's zoning review processes. The law department will undertake the county referral required under state law prior to the hearing.
The public hearing is scheduled for May 5, 2026; the board indicated it will receive comments then and proceed according to county and state review timelines.
