Summary
The Ithaca City Board of Zoning Appeals on April 14 vacated its earlier decision and overturned the zoning administrator's denial of a determination of a lawfully established preexisting use for properties listed as Zone 25-9 (224 Floral Ave and 410 Hudson St). The board approved the motion after returning from an executive session.
The Ithaca City Board of Zoning Appeals voted April 14 to vacate its prior decision and overturn the zoning administrator’s denial of an application to determine a lawfully established preexisting use for properties identified as Zone 25-9, at 224 Floral Avenue and 410 Hudson Street. The board announced it had held an executive session for advice of counsel and said no action was taken during that session.
Chair Barkin moved the measure, saying, “I hereby make a motion, whereby the BZA will vacate its prior decision and hereby overturn the zoning administrator’s decision to deny appellant’s application for determination of a lawfully established preexisting use at the subject properties.” The board approved the motion on a roll-call vote called by staff. Staff recorded the motion as approved and said the decision would be documented and delivered to the parties.
Why it matters: vacating the board’s earlier decision restores the appeal for further processing and removes the administrative denial from the record. The board did not discuss additional remedies or conditions at the meeting; staff will prepare the written decision and follow up with the applicant.
The board did not state a numeric vote tally in the hearing record; staff advised that the written outcome would be issued later in the week. No public speakers were recorded for this agenda item at the meeting.
The board proceeded to the next appeals on the agenda after the action.
