Zone Change Reviews

Purpose

The Huntington Town Board may from time to time amend, supplement, modify, repeal or change Chapter 198, Zoning, or the Zoning Map on its own motion, on petition or application or on recommendation of the Planning Board, but only after a public hearing has been held before the Town Board to consider said change of zone.  The Town Board shall refer changes of zone change proposals to the Planning Board for recommendation and written report thereon, unless specifically determined otherwise, as provided in Town Code, Chapter 198-128, Applications for change of zone by property owners. The Town Board may specify a reasonable time within which such report shall be submitted, and no public hearing shall be held until such report has been received or the specified time has elapsed.

In the event the Town Board approves the change of zone upon special conditions or upon the fulfillment of specified requirements, such conditions or requirements shall be fully complied with by the applicant before the expiration of two (2) years of the date of adoption of the resolution.  If the conditions and/or requirements are not fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Town within such period, then the resolution shall have no force and effect and the property shall retain its original zoning classification.
