building for HVAC service company to remain. No physical changes will be made to the property. Pursuant to
Chapter 179-15-040, the Town Board may refer proposed zoning amendments to the Planning Board for
recommendation.
Staff Comments
The proposal is to change about a 45,000 +/- sq ft portion of property from Commercial Intensive to
Commercial Light Industrial so the entire 1.11 ac parcel is Commercial Light Industrial. Information in the
RPS files indicates a building was constructed about 1970. The existing business is non compliant and will be
subject to site plan when the zone change occurs or relocate if the change does not occur.
The existing parcel is adjacent to a parcel zone Moderate Density Residential, Commercial Intensive, and
Commercial Light Industrial. The parcel is split zone where a small portion is currently zone Commercial Light
Industrial and has frontage on Homer Avenue adjacent to residential homes on either side. The survey shows
the property has a shared access to Everts Avenue with parcel 302.8-1-33.1 111 Everts Ave. In addition, the
plans show a drainage easement and a delineated wetland on the North west side of the property.
