Local Law No. 2 - 2015
This local law shall be known as the “Amended definition of ‘Area Resident’ for the residential
parking system for (a) Washington Square, (b) a section of North Chatsworth Avenue, (c) New
Jefferson Street, and (d) Murray Avenue between Myrtle Boulevard and Leafy Lane” Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 – Purpose.
By Local Law 4-2014, the Town of Mamaroneck created a Residential Parking Area for the
Washington Square neighborhood on the following streets or sections of streets: Washington
Square, New Jefferson Street, the section of North Chatsworth Avenue between Myrtle Boulevard
and the northern boundaries of the lots on the opposite side of the street improved with the
buildings known by the postal addresses of 35 North Chatsworth Avenue and 40 North
Chatsworth Avenue and the section of Murray Avenue between Myrtle Boulevard and Leafy Lane.
The Town Board adopted this law pursuant to the power given by section 1662-d of the New York
Vehicle and Traffic Law.
The Town Board considers the section of Myrtle Boulevard lying between North Chatsworth
Avenue and Madison Avenue to be part of the Washington Square neighborhood. On that section
of Myrtle Boulevard, there are some residential units. The Town Board determines that owners of
motor vehicles, who reside on this section of Myrtle Boulevard, if otherwise eligible, should be
allowed to obtain WS Resident Parking Permits so that they can park their motor vehicles in the
Residential Parking Area defined in Local Law 4-2014.
Furthermore, when section 1662-d of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law was enacted, the
section of Myrtle Boulevard between North Chatsworth Avenue and Madison Avenue lay in a
Business District: B zoning district. Afterwards, the Town Board rezoned this section of Myrtle
Boulevard to a Business-Residential District: B-R zoning district whose principal uses include multi-
family housing. Accordingly, there may be additional residential units constructed on the section
of Myrtle Boulevard between North Chatsworth Avenue and Madison Avenue.
This local law expands the definition of “Area Residents” so that owners of motor vehicles, who
reside on this section of Myrtle Boulevard, if otherwise eligible, may obtain WS Resident Parking
Permits. This local law shall not be construed as expanding the Residential Parking Area to include
the section of Myrtle Boulevard between North Chatsworth Avenue and Madison Avenue and the
rules regarding parking now in effect shall continue to apply.
Section 2 – Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code.
The definition of “Area Resident” that appears in section 219-2.1 B. of the Code of the Town of
Mamaroneck hereby is repealed and the following substituted in its place:
“Area Resident” means a person who resides within the Residential Parking Area or who resides
on the section of Myrtle Boulevard that lies between North Chatsworth Avenue and Madison
Avenue. A person who is employed by an entity that maintains a place of business on this section
of Myrtle Boulevard but who does not reside on this section of Myrtle Boulevard is not an “Area
Resident”.
Section 3 – Severability.
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.
Section 4 – Effective Date.
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
