ZBA renews special permit for motor vehicle repair at 138–140 Columbus Avenue
Summary
The Village of Tuckahoe Zoning Board of Appeals renewed a special permit for a motor vehicle repair/body shop at 138–140 Columbus Avenue for five years, adopting a SEQR negative declaration and imposing fire-department related conditions.
The Village of Tuckahoe Zoning Board of Appeals approved a five-year renewal of a special permit for motor vehicle repair at 138–140 Columbus Avenue at its March 12, 2025 meeting, adopting a SEQR negative declaration and placing conditions related to fire-department approval for the site’s spray booth.
Architect Dave Barbuti represented 138–140 Columbus Avenue LLC and said the operation has not changed since the board’s prior review. The board said the building department reported no complaints on file and noted the business has operated at the location since the original approval in 2010. Under the village zoning code, a special permit for motor vehicle repair issued by the board terminates after five years unless renewed; the board therefore approved a five-year renewal.
The approval included a condition that the Eastchester Fire Department approve the site and that the applicant maintain necessary approvals for the spray booth within Westchester County. The board reviewed the application, found the required information was in the record, and declared a SEQR negative declaration, concluding the action would not have a significant adverse environmental impact.
No members of the public commented during the public hearing. The board indicated support for renewal and the record reflects the board’s intent to monitor compliance with fire-safety requirements and local building codes.
