Applicant seeks rezoning of 4911 Genesee Street; board hears staff presentation and applicant testimony
Summary
A property owner applied to rezone 4911 Genesee Street from Residential Mobile Home (RMH) to a Retail Business district; town planning staff presented background and applicant representative requested approval, and the public hearing was closed with no substantive objections recorded.
The board held a public hearing on a zoning map amendment for parcel 4911 Genesee Street (tax parcel referenced in transcript) to change the zoning from RMH (Residential Mobile Home district) to C retail (Retail Business). Dan Young of town planning described the history: the developer had initially been denied a permit, obtained a temporary use permit to operate on site, and sought the zoning amendment to allow uses such as amusement/recreation enterprises that are limited in the RMH district but allowed in general commercial.
Man Ting Ho, representing property owner Crystal Leung, asked the board to approve the rezoning to align with long‑term land‑use goals for Genesee Street, support local entrepreneurship, and bring the site into compliance with building and parking standards. The applicant committed to meeting town code and ensuring compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.
The board had no substantive questions and closed the public hearing by motion; the transcript shows no objection from residents present. Next procedural steps are review of the formal zoning amendment language and any required referrals or SEQRA review if applicable.
