Applying to the Planning Board for a Subdivision or Site Plan Review

The Planning Board is guided by the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 202 of the Rye General Code.   These regulations govern both the subdivisions of land (including lot line adjustments) and the development or change or expansion of use of tracts for non-residential use or multi-family residential use.

Types of Applications are available below:

SUBDIVISIONS:  A subdivision is the division of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two or more lots.

Major Subdivisions:  subdivisions are subdivisions of land which contain more than three lots or which require construction of a new street or extension of an existing street

Minor Subdivisions: are subdivisions of land which contain not more than three buildable lots and which do not require any street construction

Lot Line Adjustments: are subdivisions which involve only adjustment of boundaries among existing lots and which do not create any new buildable lots.
