PH 8/2 9:00 Am - Chapter 17
WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York,
th
on the 19 day of July, 2022, a Local Law entitled “A Local Law Amending Chapter 17 (Community
Preservation Fund) in Relation to Creating a Community Housing Fund to be Funded by a 0.5%
Supplemental Real Estate Transfer Tax” now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby declares itself lead agency for the purposes
of SEQRA review for the subject change of Code; and be it further
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold has requested the Planning Board and/or Planning
Staff to prepare a report and recommendations on the proposed code change, including a SEQRA and LWRP
reports and recommendations; and it is further
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold will hold a public hearing on the aforesaid Local
Law at Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York, on the 2nd day of August, 2022 at 9:00
a.m. at which time all interested persons will be given an opportunity to be heard.
The proposed Local Law “Amending Chapter 17 (Community Preservation Fund) in Relation to Creating
a Community Housing Fund to be Funded by a 0.5% Supplemental Real Estate Transfer Tax” reads as
follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. ____ OF 2022
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
Section 1. Legislative Intent.
The Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby finds that an adequate supply of housing opportunities for all
residents of the Town of Southold is critical to the future and sustainability of the Town.
The adverse impact resulting from the lack of housing opportunities is severe. Local employers have difficulty
hiring and retaining employees because of housing costs and availability. Local volunteer emergency services
agencies experience difficulty in recruitment and retention. Long-time residents are forced to leave the area.
Traffic congestion is intensified by the importation of labor from areas with lower housing costs. Finally, the
lack of housing opportunities is resulting in residents being forced to live in substandard, illegal conditions.
The unique demographics and economics in the Town of Southold and a lack of affordable dwelling units are
contributing to this housing shortage. The combination of the Town of Southold's attractiveness, proximity to
the dense population of the New York metropolitan region and to that region's extraordinary wealth, makes the
Town of Southold a prime location for seasonal and luxury homes. While this combination of extraordinary
attractiveness, population density, and wealth has created a strong local economy for the Town, it has resulted
in a housing crisis for local families. The demand for seasonal homes has driven up housing costs for primary
residences for local families.
The unique demographics and economics in the Town of Southold that have historically contributed to the
housing shortage have only been exacerbated by the COVID- 19 pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in a
flight of residents from urban areas such as New York City to the Town of Southold. The demand for housing
in the Town is currently at an all-time high. This increased demand has further driven up housing costs and has
reduced the supply of housing units available for the local workforce. The increased demand for affordable
housing opportunities resulting from the pandemic makes the need for increased community housing more
acute.
In summary, the demand of land for luxury and seasonal homes and seasonal rentals has left a short supply of
housing opportunities for middle income and working class local residents. The pandemic has only exacerbated
this problem. The Town of Southold requires a balanced housing policy where there exists a variety of housing
types and opportunities across the region's economic spectrum.
It is the public purpose of this local law to implement the authority given to the Town of Southold to establish a
dedicated fund to provide needed housing opportunities as authorized by Chapter 445 of the Laws of 2021
entitled "AN ACT to amend the town law and the tax law, in relation to authorizing towns in the Peconic Bay
region to establish community housing funds to be funded by a supplemental real estate transfer tax." Said fund
would be financed by a 0.5% supplemental real estate transfer tax, which would be in addition to the existing
2% real estate transfer tax for the Community Preservation Fund. The supplemental real estate transfer tax is
subject to a mandatory referendum.
Section 2. Amendment.
The title of Chapter 17 of the Southold Town Code is hereby amended from "Community Preservation Fund" to
"Community Preservation Fund and Community Housing Fund" as follows:
Chapter 17. Community Preservation Fund and Community Housing Fund

forests, surface waters, groundwater, recreation and open space, scenic areas, and significant historic and
archeological sites.
(4) Coordination. To promote coordination of state and local government decisions and cooperation

services by, among other means, facilitating cooperative agreements among adjacent communities, and to
coordinate planning to ensure compatibility of one's community development with development of neighboring
communities.
(5) Community design. To strengthen communities through development and redevelopment strategies
that include integration of all income and age groups, mixed land uses, and compact development, traditional
neighborhood development, planned unit development, open space districts, downtown revitalization,
brownfield redevelopment, enhanced beauty in public spaces, and diverse and community housing in close
