LOCAL LAW
OF THE YEAR 2000
A LOCAL LAW TO CHANGE THE ZONING DISTRICT DESIGNATION OF THE PARCEL OF
PROPERTY KNOWN AS Suffolk County Tax Map (SCTM) #1000-074.00-04.00-010.000
FROM THE (B) GENERAL BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICT DESIGNATION TO THE (LB) LIMITED
BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICT DESIGNATION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD AS FOLLOWS:
Seetion 1. Legislative Intent
Consistent with our comprehensive land use plan and our established objectives and goals as reflected by
the existing zoning patterns within the Town, and based upon our current County Route 48 Land use study as well as
numerous land use studies and plans developed heretofore. we hereby determine that it is necessary and desirable to
revise and amend the zouing designation applicable to the parcel identified herein as well as other lands; thus, we
hereby identify and adopt the following overall themes of (I) Preservation of Farmland and Agriculture; (2)
Preservation of Open and Recreational Space; (3) Preservation of the Rural, Cultural, Commercial and Historical
Character of the Hamlets and Surrounding Areas; (4) Preservation of the Natural Environment; which derive from
the shared vision held by residents and local public officials of the Town and which are intended to foster a strong
economy and which encourage and preserve the existing high quality of life. as more specifically let forth herein
below:
1. Preservation or Farmland and Agricultural Use
Farmland is a valuable and dynamic industry in the Town of Southold. The open farmlands are
not only highly cherished for their economic value, but for the scenic vistas they provide. The
open space and scenery created by farmland additionally contributes to the quality oflife of the
residents while promoting tourism and recreation.
2. Preservation of Open and Recreational Space
The Town of Southold relies heavily upon its scenic beauty and open landscapes for recreation,
clean air and water, as well as for its attraction to tourists and recreation seekers. The Town has
attracted many second homeowners because of its "natural resources, abundance of open space,
farms, picturesque villages, and the ever-present waterfront" (Master Plan Update, 1985). Due to
this open space, the Town has a tremendous development potential. Bleak pictures have been
painted in a few documents, warning of strip-type development, suburban sprawl and water
supply issues. The preservation of open and recreational space is not only aesthetic, but also a
necessity for the present and future needs of the Town.
3. Preservation of the Rural, Cultural. Commercial and Historical Character of the Hamlets and
Surrounding Areas
The Town of South old is renowned for its rural, cultural, conunercial and historic character. This unique
character is recognized in all of the documents reviewed. Based on the input of Town residents, the Final
Report and Reconunendations states that the two most prevalent and key issues are keeping growth in the
existing hamlet centers and preserving the enhancing the surrounding rural areas. Additionally, the Master
Plan Update reconunends the provision for lIa community of residential hamlets that are comprised of a
variety of housing opportunities, commercial, service and cultural activities, set in an open or rural
.
atmosphere and supported by a diversified economic base (including agriculture, marine commercial and
seasonal recreation activities)."
4. Preservation of the Natural Environment
Accommodating "growth and change within the Town without destroying its traditional economic base, the
natural environment of which that base rests, and the unique character and the way of life that defines
the Town is of utmost importance" Ground Watershed Protection and Water Supply Management
StTategy). The Master Plan Update recommends preservation of the Town's natural environment
from wetlands to woodlands and to "achieve a land pattern that is sensitive to the limited
indigenous water supply and will not degrade the subsurface water quality.
The outstanding needs enumerated below are the culmination of careful comparison of the intent
and objectives of the town (as stated in past land use plans and studies) and the currently existing
conditions along the County Route 48 corridor. These needs reflect the past and present vision ofthe
Town and the work that still needs to be done due to the proximity of County Route 48 to the hamlet
commercial centers and to avoid potentially conflicting development strategies for such areas. These
outstanding needs we find exist throughout the Town and are specifically identified as follows:
I) to provide for viable land use development at levels of intensities which are sensitive to
subsurface water quality and quantity;
2) to maintain and strengthen hamlet centers as the focus of commercial, residential. and
cultural activity;
3) to preserve the open, agricultural and rural character of areas outside of the hamlet
centers;
4) to provide for a variety of housing opportunities for citizens of different incomes am age
levels;
5) to enhance the opportunities for pedestrian-friendly shopping;
6) to continue to the support of the Town's agricultural economy;
7) to maximize the Town's natural assets, including its coastal location and agricultural
base, by balancing commercial, residential and recreational uses;
8) to strengthen the Town's marine-recreational and marine-commercial activities;
9) to encourage the preservation of parkland and public access to the waterfront;
10) to support tourism by maintaining and strengthening the Town's assets that foster a tourist
trade. namely hamlet center businesses. historic heritage, architecture, a sense of place, of
rural and open character, agriculture, and marine activity;
11) to preserve prime farmland; and encourage, the diversification of agriculture;
12) to preserve the historic, cultural, architectural and archaeological resources of the Town;
13) to ensure visual quality of hamlet centers;
14) to encourage appropriate land uses both inside and out of hamlet centers;
IS) to promote balanced economy and tax base;
16) to preserve the integrity of the Town's vegetative habitats, including freshwater wetlands
and woodlands.
Section 2. Enactment
Therefore, based upon the aforementioned goals and identified needs of the Town and upon our
consideration of the recommendations and comments of our Planning Board, the Suffolk County Planning
Commission, our planning consultant (CCG) and the public comment taken at the public hearing and
otherwise, we hereby change the zoning district designation for the parcel known as
SCTM # 1000-074.00-04.00-010.000 (and more fully described herein below) from the
(B) GENERAL BUSINESS zoning district designation to the (LB) LIMITED BUSINESS zoning district
designation.

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS the Town Board of the Town of South old is considering a change in the zoning
designation from B General Business Zoning District Designation to the
LB Limited Business Zoning District Designation of a certain parcel of land lying in the Town of
Southold identified by SCTM # 1000-074.00-04.00-010.000 and
WHEREAS, GElS which said "no further SEQRA review required" when "Changing the
Zoning Category of a parcel from one industrial zone to another industrial zone, or from one
commercial zone to another commercial zone, of from an industrial zone to a commercial zone
shall not require further SEQRA review if:
a) the proposed new zoning category for the subject parcel is consistent with the zoning
of surrounding parcels, or
b) the proposed change of zone does not permit higher intensity use of the subject parcel
as compared to the existing zone in terms of lot coverage, building height, parking
requirements, traffic, impervious area, drainage, and setbacks, or
c) the proposed change zone does not take place in a designated historical area, a critical
environmental area, areas of low depth to groundwater, or contain or are adjacent to
freshwater wetlands or tidal wetlands, or
d) the proposed change of zone is consistent with the County Road 48 Corridor Land
Use Study and past land use plans of the Town of South old and this proposed action
meets this criteria/threshold"; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board nevertheless conducted a LEAF pursuant to SEQRA in addition to
the GElS findings statement; and
RESOLVED the Town Board found that for the above action there is no other involved agency,
that for the above action the Town Board is Lead Agency; that this action is an Unlisted Action;
all pursuant to SEQRA Rules and Regulations 6 NYCRR 617.1 et. Seq. and Chapter 44 of the
Southold Town Code; and be it further
RESOLVED by the Town Board that this proposed project will not have any significant adverse
environmental impacts and therefore the Town Board issues a NEGATIVE DECLARATION
pursuant to the SEQRA TIlles and regulations.
The LEAF (Long Environmental Assessment Fonm) within applies for each of the specific
parcels for the group known as "PECONIC lA" of the County Route 48 Corridor Land Use
Study "Recommendation Discussion".
The attached LEAF is identical for each parcel except for the following infonmation:
Section A(2)- Regarding Total Acreage
Section B(1 )(j)- Regarding Linear Frontage
Section C(5)- Regarding Maximum potential development of the site
These Sections cUtTently reflect the combined totals of all the other parcels in
"PECONIC lA". The individual infonmation for each parcel is found in Sub Study 1 and/or
Substudy 2. (Substudy 1 and Substudy 2 are attached hereto and incorporated by reference.)
A GElS was conducted for the County Route 48 Corridor Land Use Study.
The GElS and the SEQRA Findings Statement are incorporated herein by reference.
In confonmance with this portion of the SEQRA regulations, criteria and thresholds have
been established to indicate when additional SEQRA review is required for actions carried out in
confonmance with the recommendations of the (County Route 48 Corridor) Land Use Study.
These criteria and thresholds state when additional SEQRA review is required. Among the
criteria and thresholds established is the following:
" I. Changing the zoning category of a parcel from anyone of the industrial or
commercial zones in the Town of Southold to a single family residential or Agricultural Zone
shall not require further SEQRA review
, ,
"2, Changing the Zoning Category of a parcel from a higher density residential zone
to a lower density residential zone or Agricultural Conservation Zone shall not require further
SEQRA review,"
3, Changing the Zoning Category of a parcel from one industrial zone to another
industrial zone, or from one commercial zone to another commercial zone, or from an industrial
zone to a commercial zone shall not require further SEQRA review if:
a) the proposed new zoning category for the subject parcel is consistent with the
zoning of surrounding parcels, or
b) the proposed change of zone does not permit higher intensity use of the subject
parcel as compared to the existing zone in terms oflot coverage, building height, parking
requirements, traffic, impervious area, drainage, and setbacks, or
c) the proposed change zone does not take place in a designated historical area, a
critical environmental area, areas of low depth to groundwater, or contain or are adjacent
to freshwater wetlands or tidal wetlands, or
d) the proposed change of zone is consistent with the County Route 48 Corridor
Land Use Study and past land use plans of the Town of South old" and this proposed
action meets this criteria/threshold; and

General Inlormation (Read Carelully)
. In completing the lorm the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been
reasonablel The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst.
. The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of
magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and
lor most situations. But. for any specilic project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropriate
lor a Potential large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3.
. The impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and
have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question.
. The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question.
. In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumlative effects.
Instructlons (Read carefully)
a. Answer each of the 20 questions In PART 2. Answer Yes If there will be any Impact.
b. Mayba answers should be considered as Yes answers. .
c, If answerlng Yes to a question then check the approprlate bex (column 1 or 2) to Indicate the potentlal size of the
Impact. If Impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If Impact will occur but
threshold Is lower than example, check column 1.
d. Idenilfylng that an Impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that It Is also necessarily sIgnificant.
Any large Impact must be evaluated In PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying art Impact In column 2 simply
asks that It be looked at further.
e. If reviewer has doubt abeut size of the Impact then consider the Impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3.
f. If a potentially large Impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) In the project to a small to moderate
Impact, also check the Yes bex In column 3. A No response Indicates that such a reduction Is not poss.1ble. This
must be explained In Part 3.
