Is there any limitation on size, height, materials, style or color?
A. Yes and no. Unlike many other communities in Westchester County, the Village of Pelham Manor does not over-regulate architecture. This reflects the long standing philosophy that the diverse tastes and interests of our residents is what makes this community so interesting and unique. The Zoning Code does, however, include limitations on size and height. These limitations were tightened in Spring of 2000 to address the concerns of many of our residents regarding the increasing trend toward construction and renovations that disproportionately cover property lots. The law was changed after months of study and genuine effort to strike an appropriate balance between allowing property owners to use their property freely and, at the same time, protecting the rights of neighboring property owners from extreme overbuilding.
