Prior to the development of the Model Ordinance to encourage new fair and affordable housing, at least 31 Westchester municipalities had already adopted some form of local regulations related to affordable housing. Several of these ordinances include elements of regulations similar to those found in the Model Ordinance, while others are very limited in their scope as compared to the Model Ordinance. Several municipalities have had their previous regulations superseded, amended, or replaced by regulations developed in response to the new Model Ordinance.
Below is a list of municipalities that adopted affordable housing regulations prior to the Model Ordinance. Many of these municipalities’ zoning ordinances can be found on the General Code Web site.
