CITY OF RYE
1985 DEVELOPMENT PLAN

ORGANIZATION OF THE RYE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN

[Home | Planning Department | Planning Commission | Development Plan Table of Contents]


The various land uses and planning issues in Rye have been divided into ten sections, which form the division for consideration in Part 11. While there is some overlapping between the various areas, each section represents a focus on a subject of importance to Rye.

Within each section of Part 11, the major goals and policies of the Planning Commission (pertaining to that section) are set forth, followed by a text discussion. The text is divided into a background evaluation of the present situation and past happenings, and then a series of recommendations. Where pertinent, special maps and tables are included.

Part III of the Plan summarizes the changes recommended by the plan. These are divided into those which can be accomplished only by new zoning districts; those which would call for some revision of existing zoning or other City laws, those which can be accomplished by changes to the zoning map, and those which can be effected presently by direct action.

The Appendix summarizes the research and recommendations on three neighborhood areas in Rye which were studied because it was felt that they were in need of change. Various other studies of somewhat more tangential interest, along with statistical support, have been gathered into a second volume of papers, not made a part of this plan but available for consultation. These include the following memoranda:

1. Analysis of Population and Housing Characteristics

2. Analysis of Parks and Recreation

3. Analysis of County and Regional Development Trends and the Impact on Rye

4. Traffic Analysis of the Playland Parkway/Old Post Road/Theodore Fremd Avenue Area

5. Analysis of Central Business District Parking

6. Analysis of High Density Option

7. Historic Resources List (Landmarks Advisory Committee)
