The Harbor Island Scenic Overly District is hereby adopted based upon recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan of the Village of Mamaroneck dated February 2012. The Comprehensive Plan recommends the creation of a scenic overlay district to limit the height of new development along Boston Post Road across from Harbor Island Park in order to preserve scenic views to Harbor Island Park, including from upland residential areas, and views from Harbor Island Park.

The area comprising the Harbor Island Scenic Overlay District is indicated on the Zoning Map of the Village of Mamaroneck.

Notwithstanding the requirements of any underlying zoning district, within the Harbor Island Scenic Overlay District the following building height limitations shall apply:

An application for a building permit for alteration, removal, or demolition of a building or structure in the Harbor Island Scenic Overlay District shall be accompanied by all applications required for any improvement to be erected thereafter, and except in the case of a demolition of an unsafe building under the Building Code, the Building Inspector may not take action to approve an application for a building permit for alteration, removal, or demolition unless and until all said applications required for any improvement to be erected thereafter have been granted.
