New City.
Eugene and Michelle are raising their two children in New City. Here is what this election means for the hamlet: the developments under review, the Hamlet Center rezoning, code enforcement, and where to vote.
Development in New City
Five housing applications in New City state in the Town’s records what they would build. Together they come to 426 units and a 17-lot subdivision. On top of that, the Paramount Country Club rezoning would allow 230 more. Each entry gives the latest step the application has reached in the Town’s record.
In 2023 and again in 2025, the Town created and then amended the Hamlet Center Zoning Districts covering New City, Congers, Valley Cottage and West Nyack, raising the residential density allowed in each hamlet center. Eugene has published a proposed twelve-month moratorium that would pause approvals under those districts until the Town completes the environmental and traffic review.
New City Living
A 176,360 square foot five-story residential building with 152 multi-family units and two levels of parking, together with site plan amendments, a four-lot subdivision and a special permit. An earlier description of the same application had the building at six stories.
