REQUESTS FOR VILLAGE ZONING MAP

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

The blog has had numerous requests for "The Village of Croton's Zoning Map"; here it is, sliced in two for easier viewing---click on the images below---but please note, it is valid ONLY up until JANUARY 2023.  That is, to our knowledge, the last time it was "revised" for public consumption.  It will not reflect projects that have yet been completed, are planned, or are in the works.

Questions about where the "floating zones" for low income/affordable/multi-family housing are, must be referred to staff and/or village officials.

YOU CAN ALSO FIND THIS MAP AT zoning_map_1_2023_final_0.pdf (crotononhudson-ny.gov) but it has been posted here below for archival purposes.
