Pet aftercare facility with alkaline hydrolysis at 294 Union Avenue
New Rochelle
Summary
A veterinarian wants to convert a long-vacant building into a pet memorial and cremation facility using a silent, flameless water-based process — lower intensity, she says, than the vehicle storage use previously approved there. The board held its decision until next month to write conditions on staffing, hours, and volume.

Impact analysis
No construction is proposed; the use would put a vacant building back in service with two to three local jobs.
Pet owners get in-house aftercare from a vet they already trust, the building owner fills a vacancy, and a couple of local jobs are created.
An anonymous letter of opposition raised noise and refrigeration concerns, though the applicant testified the process is silent and indoor-only.
