ZBA grants Jill’s renewal and several variances; Nona Corolla renewal limited to 18 months
Summary
At its July 24 meeting the Mamaroneck ZBA approved a modified renewal for Jill’s (extended weekend hours and live-music limits), granted an 18‑month renewal and amendment for Nona Corolla (Prospect Avenue pickup entrance with traffic and noise conditions), and approved a Hillside Avenue deck variance; votes and conditions were recorded.
The Zoning Board of Appeals approved three separate land‑use actions July 24, each with conditions the board said were needed to protect neighboring uses and to allow the board to review impacts.
Jill’s special permit: The board approved a renewal and modification of Jill’s special permit, extending operating hours for Friday and Saturday (closing at 2 a.m. in the amended resolution) and allowing live music for special events (music to end by 10 p.m.), with food and bar-service cutoffs specified in the resolution. Members debated whether 2 a.m. would set a precedent for other establishments near residences; the resolution includes contextual language limiting the extended hours to the applicant’s location.
Nona Corolla (Prospect Avenue): The board approved an 18‑month renewal and amendment to allow a new pickup entrance on Prospect Avenue while clarifying that the change does not convert the restaurant into a new fast‑food or carryout facility. The board added findings about traffic on narrow Prospect Avenue and included standard noise controls (windows/doors closed at specified times, limits on amplified music) so the board can revisit impacts after the trial period.
Hillside Avenue deck: The board approved an area variance to legalize a reduced existing rear‑yard deck that encroaches into the 25‑foot required rear yard setback, finding that similar encroachments exist on Hillside Avenue and noting the variance was self‑created but not of such a nature to require denial. The board recorded the finding that the variance is substantial but within precedent.
Votes at a glance: Each matter passed after amendment; the board recorded majority votes on the consent items.
