ASPCA – Zoning Resolution Determination
Herrick partnered with the ASPCA on a pro bono basis to enable them, under zoning, to provide overnight animal boarding their veterinary clinics. The Department of Buildings generally does not allow overnight animal boarding in areas not zoned for manufacturing use, and the ASPCA’s property is zoned for residential and commercial use. We drafted a zoning memorandum and a Zoning Resolution Determination (ZRD1) which outlined a legal strategy to allow for overnight animal boarding at clinics they operate in the five boroughs.
