CLARKSTOWN – The Town of Clarkstown is seeking resident input on land use, community preservation, and future development through a new online survey.
The survey is available at as officials consider zoning changes and other measures related to future growth.
The Town Board recently adopted a six-month building moratorium, with the option to extend it for another six months. The moratorium prohibits approvals for multifamily housing, large residential subdivisions, and commercial or industrial developments that could affect the town’s transportation network, environment, or public safety.
During the moratorium, officials will consider changes to the Zoning Code and other land-use regulations. The town is also completing a Route 303 and 304 Safety and Sustainability Study, with its recommendations expected to be considered along with the town’s Comprehensive Plan and other studies.
The Town Board also approved a Community Preservation Act that will go before voters in a referendum next year. If approved, the act would create a dedicated fund to acquire land containing open space, scenic resources, historic landmarks, and important agricultural and natural resources.
Supervisor George Hoehmann encouraged residents to complete the survey.
“We want to hear directly from Clarkstown residents on what they value most for our community and how we can plan for future growth while preserving our neighborhoods, environment, and quality of life,” Hoehmann said.
