Board schedules July 16 hearing on proposed moratorium on multifamily dwellings
Summary
The town board scheduled a public hearing for July 16, 2026 on a proposed local law to amend zoning code section 235-96 and institute a moratorium on multifamily dwellings, at the request of the town attorney; the measure will proceed to public comment and review.
The town board voted June 24 to schedule a July 16 public hearing on a proposed local law that would impose a moratorium on multifamily dwellings by amending zoning code section 235-96.
At the meeting, the town attorney’s proposal was read into the record and the chair asked for a motion to set the hearing date; the motion was seconded and approved by the board. The action was presented as a measure to give the town time for review and public input before any zoning changes take effect.
Why it matters: A moratorium would temporarily halt approvals for new multifamily projects in the town while officials review zoning language and assess potential impacts on housing supply, infrastructure and planning. The board’s decision to hold a public hearing gives residents an opportunity to comment before the board considers adoption.
Next steps: The public hearing is scheduled for the town board meeting on July 16, 2026. Staff and the planning board will review the proposed language and any submissions received ahead of that session.
