Board questions overlay and comprehensive‑plan implications for Route 31 zone‑change request

Jan 22, 2026

The Cicero Planning Board discussed a request to recommend rezoning two small parcels on State Route 31 from agricultural to general commercial and focused on whether the town’s residential mixed‑use overlay and the new comprehensive plan would still apply. The applicant said the change was for private storage and that site‑plan review would follow if the town board approves.

The Cicero Planning Board reviewed a request to recommend rezoning two adjacent parcels (about one acre each) at 6668 and 6674 State Route 31 from agricultural to general commercial. The applicants (identified in the record as Mr. and Mrs. Burke) told the board they intend to build an enclosed storage/warehouse to support their existing shipping/storage operation; they said the facility would not be open to the public and would be used only by employees.
