The council adopted Local Law No. 8 of 2025, which amends City Code chapters to remove special‑use permit requirements for family day care homes and group family day care homes in several R‑zone districts, making them permitted accessory uses in R1A, R1B, R1C and R2 zones.
On May 12 the Peekskill Common Council adopted Local Law No. 8 of 2025, amending city code sections related to family day care and group family day care homes. Deputy mayor Riley moved the local law and Councilmember Fassett seconded; the mayor called for a vote and the measure passed.
The deputy mayor explained the change will delete zoning rules requiring a special‑use permit for family day care homes and group family day care homes in R1A, R1B, R1C and R2 zoning districts and make such uses permitted accessory uses.
