The Greenburgh Planning Board reviewed Central Animal Hospital's plan to convert a former restaurant at 718 Central Park Avenue South into a new 24/7 animal hospital, moving the special use permit application forward. This project aims to bring a much-needed emergency and specialty veterinary service to the community.

The site already exceeds the required 53 parking spaces with 75 available. Previously, the Zoning Board of Appeals discussed a variance for an exterior dog run, as zoning typically requires such facilities to be fully enclosed.
