pdf Town of Ossining Comprehensive Plan - Sustainable Ossining Popular

Sustainable Ossining is a plan for the future. The Town of Ossining’s comprehensive plan is a sustainable framework establishing policies for Unincorporated Ossining’s long-range planning and development. While the Town of Ossining includes the incorporated Villages of Ossining and Briarcliff Manor, this comprehensive plan focuses on the Unincorporated Area of the Town of Ossining because the Town’s planning and zoning powers are limited to the unincorporated portion of the Town. In this plan, the term Town of Ossining encompasses Unincorporated Ossining, the Village of Ossining, and most of the Village of Briarcliff Manor; Unincorporated Ossining more specifically refers to the unincorporated area of the Town of Ossining (Figure 1).

This Comprehensive Plan creates a blueprint for a more sustainable, equitable, and economically sound Town of Ossining. Unincorporated Ossining is approximately 3.1 square miles in size and is bordered by the Villages of Ossining and Briarcliff Manor to the south and west; the Towns of New Castle, Cortlandt, and Mount Pleasant to the north and east; and the Village of Croton-on-Hudson to the northwest.
