PH 8/2 9:00 Am - Chapter 17
WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
th
County, New York, 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
Page 41
July 19, 2022
Southold Town Board Board Meeting
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:
