Bayville introduces local law to rezone marina parcels, schedules April public hearing
Summary
The Bayville Board of Trustees introduced a proposed local law to rezone several parcels used by Creekview Group Marina from Residence C to Park District and set a public hearing for April 28, 2025.
The Bayville Board of Trustees introduced a proposed local law to rezone property used by the Creekview Group Marina from Residence C to Park District and scheduled a public hearing for 6:45 p.m. April 28, 2025 at Village Hall.
John Armentana, an attorney representing the applicant, told the board the petition asks to rezone the marina at 34 Runcorn Avenue to allow the existing marina operations to continue under a Park District designation. "We submitted a petition for a rezone for the Creekview Group Marina," Armentana said, identifying Nassau County tax-map parcels the application covers.
The rezoning proposal would move the parcels currently in Residence C to the Park District zoning classification, the local-law text before the board says. The board reviewed a report prepared by H2M that recommended the change; Armentana said H2M is "in agreement with the change of zone." He also said the applicants and village staff have discussed a covenant or restriction that would allow the existing marina uses to continue but limit future expansion.
The draft resolution states the board intends to serve as lead agency for the environmental review and directs the village clerk to publish notices for the April 28 public hearing. The draft also amends the village zoning map by inserting the parcels (identified in the petition by Nassau County tax-map section/block/lot numbers) under the Park District listing.
The introduction of the proposed local law begins the public-review process; adoption would require subsequent hearings and a final vote by the board. The board did not adopt the local law at the meeting; it introduced the measure and scheduled the hearing so residents and agencies can comment.
Why this matters: rezoning would remove the marina’s legal nonconforming status under the Residence C district and could lock in the site’s maritime use if the village later approves the local law and any associated covenant. The board’s environmental review and the April public hearing are the next steps in the process.
