Article VII: Special Permit Use Requirements
Chapter 255: Zoning Article VII Special Permit Use Requirements
Pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the Village Board reserves the approval authority for special permits for uses identified as such in Appendix A, Table of General Use Requirements.[1] Such uses represent such diverse benefits and impacts on local land uses as to preclude specific descriptions and standards for their approval. The Village Board, in considering any application for a special permit hereunder, shall exercise such discretion reserved for legislative matters so as to ensure that the public health, welfare and safety are protected and the environmental and land resources of the village are most efficiently utilized.
Applications for special permits pursuant to this section shall be upon forms prescribed by the Village Board and shall contain the information required in the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter.
Fees for special permit applications before the Village Board shall be in accordance with the Standard Schedule of Fees of the Village of Spring Valley.[2]
Every application for a special permit shall be initially submitted to the Building Inspector, together with all required information and established fee. If, in the opinion of the Building Inspector, any application submitted is not complete, he shall return the application to the applicant with his disapproval and so notify the Village Board.
Site development approval under Article X of this chapter is required for all special permit uses. A preliminary and/or final site development plan and special permit use application may be processed concurrently.
The Building Inspector shall refer a complete application for a special permit use to the Village Planning Board within five days of receipt of such application in proper form and to the Rockland County Planning Board or other county or state agency if said board or agency has jurisdiction in the application. The official date of receipt by the Village Planning Board shall be the date of the next regular meeting of said Board following transmittal by the Building Inspector of an application for special permit use review.
The Village Planning Board or other referral agency shall, within 30 days of receipt of such referral, transmit its report thereon, with appropriate findings, to the Village Board. The report of the Village Planning Board may also contain recommendations for conditions or other relevant findings appropriate to the application.
The Village Board, upon receipt of the reports by the referral agency, shall, within 62 days of the complete application, conduct a public hearing as set forth in § 255-66 of this chapter and, within 62 days thereafter, render its decision, unless the applicant waives the time requirements of this section. Notice shall be sent by the applicant 10 days prior to the date of such public hearing to all property owners within 500 feet of the perimeter of the property.
[Amended 1-28-1986 by L.L. No. 1-1986; 4-11-1995 by L.L. No. 1-1995]
The decision of the Village Board shall be filed within five days in the offices of the Village Clerk and the Building Inspector and a copy thereof made to the applicant. Thereafter, the applicant may proceed with formal site development plan approval before the Planning Board, unless that procedure has already been initiated.
The Village Board, in approving any special permit hereunder, shall require conformance to any supplementary requirements applying to such uses generally and may establish such other conditions or limitations upon the use or characteristics of the use which are reasonably related to the public health, safety and general welfare and as may be necessary to carry out the intent of this chapter.
Unless specifically authorized in the decision of the Village Board, no requirements or conditions of such special permit shall be subject to appeal before the Board of Appeals.
Requirements or conditions imposed by this chapter for any special permit use shall not be waived or reduced by the Village Board and shall be considered to be the minimum requirements for any authorization hereunder, except that the Village Board may authorize further application and action by the Board of Appeals. Special permits shall be deemed to be indefinite authorization unless otherwise specified in the approval thereof, but in any case shall expire within 18 months of the date of approval unless a building permit has been issued for the special permit use. Such period may be extended on separate application to the Village Board.
The grant of special permits for the uses indicated may be conditioned on periodic renewal, which renewal shall be granted following application, public notice and hearing, and may be withheld upon determination that conditions as may have been identified in the original grant requiring that the use be of temporary duration now necessitate cessation of such use or imposition of additional or supplemental safeguards or conditions or that the original conditions as may have prescribed for such special permit have not been or are not being complied with, wholly or in part. Notices of violation pursuant to Article XIII shall be prima facie evidence of lack of conformity to such standards or conditions.
No permit shall be issued for a special permit use for a property where the Building Inspector has found a violation of this chapter and where such violation has not been corrected.
The Village Board may revoke a special permit if a violation of this chapter, as described in Subsection D, continues for a period of time or if the activities of the use for which a special permit has been issued are found to be injurious to the public health, safety and general welfare. In the event of revocation, the party shall have 14 days to request a hearing before the Village Board for reconsideration.
[Added 3-10-1987 by L.L. No. 3-1987]
All special permits shall automatically expire if active and continuous operations for which a special permit was granted are not carried on during a continuous period of six months. Intent to resume active operations shall not affect the foregoing. The time period set forth herein shall be tolled for any cessation of use pursuant to a court order.
[Added 7-26-1994 by L.L. No. 9-1994]
Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Village Board hereunder may, within 30 days of the filing of the decision, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.
All special permit uses shall comply with the following standards, in addition to the site plan standards of Article X of this chapter. The Village Board shall attach such additional conditions and safeguards to any special permit as are, in its opinion, necessary to ensure initial and continual conformance to all applicable standards and requirements.
The location and size of the proposed use, the nature and intensity of the operations involved in it or conducted in connection with it, the size of the site in relation to it and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to it are such that it will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the area in which it is located.
Operations in connection with any such use will not be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, traffic, fumes, vibration or other characteristics than would be the operations of permitted uses not requiring a special permit.
Parking areas will be of adequate size for the particular proposed use, properly located and suitably screened from adjoining residential uses, and the entrance and exit drives shall be laid out so as to achieve maximum convenience and safety.
The proposed use will not result in diminution of the value of property in the neighborhood or a change in the character of the neighborhood in which the use would be situated.
The proposed use will not require such additional public facilities or services or create such fiscal burdens upon the village greater than those which characterize uses permitted by right.
[Added 3-25-2008 by L.L. No. 4-2008]
In the R-3 and R-4 Zones, where multiple dwellings are permitted as of right, a special permit is required if the developer seeks to construct units with four or more bedrooms.
In its determination whether to grant a developer the right to construct units with four or more bedrooms, whether in zones where multiple dwellings are permitted as of right or only by special permit, the Village Board shall consider whether the construction of such units is likely to cause excess density in the area, create a need for additional parking, whether the property can otherwise safely accommodate the number of bedrooms proposed and other relevant matters.
In the RSH, PRD and GB Zones, where multiple dwellings are permitted only by special permit, developers must obtain Village Board approval for all dwelling units regardless of the number of bedrooms.
Nothing set forth hereinabove relieves a developer from compliance with the Zoning Code requirements regarding maximum units per acre and floor area ratio.
The following individual standards and requirements are hereby established for special permit uses. They must, if applicable, be met before issuance of a special permit.
When proposed in a residential district, these uses shall be subject to a finding, in addition to the standards of § 255-27, that a public necessity exists for such use and that use of the particular site for which application is made is necessary from the public standpoint.
The Village Board may require that such use be enclosed by protective fencing with a gate which shall be closed and locked except when necessary to obtain access thereto.
The installation shall be so designed, enclosed, painted and screened with evergreens that it will be harmonious with the area in which it is located. The entire property shall be suitably landscaped and maintained in reasonable conformity with the standard of property maintenance of the surrounding neighborhood.
Adequate parking areas shall exist or be provided for maintenance, service or other vehicles. Parking areas may be on-street or off-street, as determined by the Village Board.

The Planning Board, in its approval of the site development plan, may permit up to 1/3 of the parking requirement to be provided in overflow parking areas to be graded and seeded and conveniently situated on the approved site development plan so that they would be accessible if needed.
The minimum distance between a dormitory and any other building on the lot shall be 50 feet.
The minimum distance between any dormitory and any interior driveway shall be 25 feet.
The maximum height of any dormitory shall be two stories or 25 feet, whichever is less.
