Carmel Town Board to Consider Moratorium on Multifamily Dwellings in HMC Zones
The Town Board of Carmel will schedule a public hearing for August 5th to consider a moratorium on new site plans for multifamily dwellings in the Hamlet Mixed-Use Commercial (HMC) zones. This measure aims to prevent oversaturation of the business districts with multifamily housing and to promote advantageous commercial development, aligning with recently adopted zoning codes and the master plan. The board also expressed interest in examining regulations concerning boarding houses where owners do not reside. [cite: 334-341, 655-689]
