VILAGE OF RYE BROOK, N.Y. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Village of Rye Brook is interested in receiving Proposals from professional and
experienced planning Consultants to prepare its first municipal Comprehensive Plan.
The selected Consultant will be asked to meet and report to a Comprehensive Plan
Steering Committee, selected by the Village Board, that represents a cross-section of
Village residents, key stakeholder and professional groups, and members of various
Village committees and professional staff.
The selected Consultant must be prepared to provide outreach to community groups and
residents, review existing zoning regulations, and evaluate identified study documents
previously completed. It is noted that the existing documents and regulations should be
used as a starting point (but not an item of constraint) that will be refined, added to,
improved upon, and/or revamped through an inclusive and participatory planning
process. The Village is looking for a firm experienced with Best Practices for smart
growth, and willing to incorporate new, innovative and state of the art approach to
development of the Comprehensive Plan and future development of the Village.
Demonstrated use of technology to outreach and regularly communicate with the
community residents is extremely important. The final Comprehensive Plan should
include a phased and prioritized implementation strategy.
