The Town Board of the Town of North Hempstead adopted the New Cassel Urban Renewal Plan to achieve the following goals and objectives:

To augment the implementation and to ensure long-term compliance with the goals and objectives of the New Cassel Urban Renewal Plan, this Board recommends the establishment of an overlay zoning district, referred to herein as the "New Cassel Urban Renewal Overlay District," encompassing all of the lands within the boundaries of the New Cassel Urban Renewal Area.

The provisions of this article shall apply to all lands that constitute the New Cassel Urban Renewal Area. The boundaries of the New Cassel Urban Renewal Area are the Wantagh Parkway on the eastern side, Brush Hollow Road and Union Avenue on the northern side, School Street on the western side, and Railroad Avenue on the southern side. No permit nor certificate of completion, approval or occupancy may be issued for the construction, expansion or rehabilitation of any structure within the New Cassel Overlay District unless there is full compliance with the provisions of this article.

Inclusion within this overlay district shall neither change the underlying zoning district designation of any property nor eliminate any of the requirements of the underlying zoning district.

Coin-, card- or token-operated launderette subject to the following conditions:

Liquor store.

Pool or billiards hall.

[1]Adult uses, as defined in Article XXIA of this chapter.

Proposed developments must be designed in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the New Cassel Urban Renewal Plan and New Cassel Vision Plan.

Any loading and maneuvering of service vehicles and all other related service activities necessary for the construction or operation of the development shall be accommodated entirely within lot lines and shall not impede traffic on adjacent streets.

All service areas shall be adequately screened from view from adjacent streets and from neighboring residential units.

Building facades may consist of brick or stucco, as appropriate. Other materials may be approved by the Commissioner of the Building Department if they are in general compliance with the standards of the New Cassel Urban Renewal Plan and New Cassel Vision Plan. Building facades should be inviting to pedestrians. Walls without windows, doors or other adornment, commonly known as "blank" walls, are permitted only where located within 100 feet of a residence district and fronting on the residential street. No blank walls shall be permitted on a main thoroughfare.

Buildings must be of reinforced concrete steel frame construction. Wood frame construction is prohibited for nonresidential and mixed-use structures within the New Cassel Overlay District.

All mechanical equipment, television antennas, satellite dishes, or other communications antennas shall be screened from view from the street or adjoining properties.

Public pay telephones shall not be installed on the outside of any building.

There shall be no outdoor storage of materials, refuse, garbage, or unlicensed vehicles. Indoor refrigerated storage for putrescible waste shall be available for all food uses. Garbage dumpsters, where approved, shall be screened from view at all times. The storage of commercial vehicles unrelated to the businesses on whose premises they are stored is prohibited.

All land not covered by structures or parking areas shall be landscaped with lawn, vegetative ground cover, shrubs, trees, or appropriate pedestrian walkways or amenities.
