Zoning Board Administration

Purpose

If a proposal to develop or redevelop a property within the Town of Huntington, other than the construction of or addition to a single-family house, may not comply with the Huntington Town Code, Chapter 198, Zoning, said proposal must be reviewed by the Department of Planning and Environment.  This review is completed through the submission of a Site Plan or Subdivision Pre-Application.

At the conclusion of this review, the Department of Planning and Environment will provide a Letter of Denial outlining specific aspects of the proposal that will not comply with the Zoning Code and would require relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals.  If the applicant wishes to proceed with their proposal, they may submit the Letter of Denial as part of their application to the Zoning Board of Appeals.

FAQ’s

How long does it take to obtain a Letter of Denial?
After a complete application has been accepted, it will take approximately four (4) weeks or more, depending on the property, to receive the Letter of Denial.

If I submitted an application and received a Letter of Denial, but have decided to make changes to my proposal, will I need to submit a new application or obtain a new Letter of Denial?
Yes. Once a Letter of Denial has been provided the application is closed.  If changes are made to the original proposal, then a new application will be required in order to obtain a new Letter of Denial.
