Port Chester Form-Based Code, Build-Out Analysis & SEQRA

Overview

Location:
Port Chester, NY
Client:
Village of Port Chester
Quick Facts:

Scope: Village-wide form-based code adoption

Time Horizon: 20-year development build-out analysis

Regulatory Framework: Comprehensive SEQRA compliance

Outcome: Clear understanding of development capacity, impacts, and policy implications

As Port Chester prepared to transition to a village-wide form-based code, leaders needed a clear picture of what that change could mean on the ground: how much development could occur, where it would be concentrated, and what impacts it could have on infrastructure, neighborhoods, and the environment over time. To support informed, confident decision-making, Fisher Associates paired detailed build-out analysis with a comprehensive SEQRA review, translating zoning policy into quantified development scenarios and actionable environmental findings. By grounding regulatory change in real-world data and transparent analysis, our work helped Port Chester advance form-based zoning in a way that promotes predictable, context-sensitive growth while safeguarding community character and long-term sustainability.
