Krupski Jr., Town Supervisor Members of the Town Board Denis Noncarrow, Town Clerk From: James H. Rich I11, Chairman J� Members of the Planning Board Date: October 7, 2024 Re: Local Law entitled A Local Law in Relation to Amendments to Chapter 280 Zoning Day-Care Center, Pet Care Facility The Planning Board supports the proposed amendments. Day Care Center U.S. Census data indicates that, in a 2023 estimate,the population of Southold Town is 23,854 persons, and 3.1 percent or 729 persons are under 5 years old. Daycare centers are needed for working families; however, the Town Code does not include this use in the commercial zoning districts. As a result,there are few options for parents that need day care for their children. The proposed additions of the use to the Residential Office, Limited Business, Hamlet Business, and General Business zoning districts will provide the opportunity for the development of day care centers. Supporting our working families in this way is consistent with the Southold Town Comprehensive Plan's Economic Development Chapter goal to facilitate the growth of existing business sectors. Increasing day care options is one step towards ensuring there are available workers for local businesses. Southold Town Planning Board Page 2 October 7,2024 Pet Care Facility The demand for pet-related services has grown in recent years along with our population,yet there are limited options in our current zoning for this type of business. The proposed change to allow Pet Care Facilities in the General Business zoning district as a permitted use provides a service to the community, and greater economic opportunity to business owners. It may also operate year-round, providing much-needed year-round jobs. This code change is consistent with the Southold Town Comprehensive Plan's Economic Development Chapter goal to encourage new businesses. It is also consistent with the Community Character Chapter which calls for encouraging businesses that fit the character of the community. Pet care facilities provide a service business that is compatible with Southold's character as they are not expected to produce a lot of traffic, and provide a needed service to the community. The Planning Board appreciates the opportunity to comment on this local law. Please contact the department with any questions. cc.
