Re~
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Consistency Review for consideration of Local
Law In Relation to Zoning Amendments to limit the size of dwelling units in Residential
Site Plans in the Hamlet Business and Hamlet Density Districts in the Town of Southold'
The proposed action is the consideration of a Local Law In Relation to Zoning Amendments to
limit the size of dwelling units in Residential Site Plans in the Hamlet Business and Hamlet
Density Districts in the Town of Southold.
The proposed local law has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of
the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP)
Policy Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment
Form submitted to this department as well as the records available to me, it is my
recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the Policy Standards and
therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. Supporting policy standards include:
Policy 1.
Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances
community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure,
makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of
development.
The longstanding planning goals of the Town of Southold "reflect the interest in
preserving and enhancing the natural and built environment and providing
opportunities for a level of growth and expansion of the economic base that is
compatible with the existing scale of development, availability of water, existing
sensitive environment of the Town and its historic heritage" (Town of Southold
Planning Board, 1985, p3). The future pattern of land use proposed in the
"Master Plan Update" encouraged residential development to locate in and
around existing hamlets "in order to preserve and enhance the historic and
cultural centers of the community, to support existing commercial centers, to
provide locations for moderately priced housing and to encourage efficient and
effective provision of community facilities and services" (Town of Southold
Planning Board, 1985, p6).
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Town Board shall consider this recommendation in preparing its
written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.
