Commission discusses draft ordinance on large private garages; agenda and minutes approved
Summary
Commissioners heard from staff that a draft ordinance addressing very large private garages (the reported 'supercar garage') exists but is under internal review; commissioners approved the meeting agenda and minutes by voice vote and adjourned with no other formal actions.
At the start of the meeting the commission adopted the evening's agenda and approved minutes from the June 17, 2025 meeting by voice motions; the record shows votes carried by 'Aye' without roll-call tallies. The meeting concluded with a similar unanimous voice vote to adjourn.
During miscellaneous items, city planner Brian McCann told commissioners staff has prepared a draft ordinance to address unusually large private garages (the meeting referenced a property on Smithtown Road with an oversized garage). McCann said the draft is in internal review but could be accelerated for planning commission or city council consideration if requested. "We do have a draft ordinance prepared," McCann said, and noted the item is currently held while the broader zoning code review proceeds.
Commissioners indicated discomfort with very large accessory structures and asked staff to bring options forward for possible ordinance language; staff emphasized that any change would require deliberate drafting and review through the normal code amendment process.
Formal motions recorded in the meeting transcript were limited to adopting the agenda, approving minutes, and adjourning; no land-use approvals or votes on ordinances occurred tonight.
