Planning board approves special‑use permit for enclosed commercial recreation facility
Summary
The Greenburgh Planning Board approved PB2524, a special‑use permit for a fully enclosed commercial recreation facility, with site‑specific stormwater maintenance conditions and a requirement that the applicant revise signage to comply with the code.
The Greenburgh Planning Board voted to approve PB2524, a special‑use permit for a fully enclosed commercial recreation facility, after staff identified a site‑specific stormwater condition and the applicant confirmed intent to comply with zoning requirements.
Deputy Commissioner Schmidt told the board the draft decision includes a site condition (condition 8) requiring the applicant and property owner to inspect existing stormwater management facilities and perform any needed maintenance or repairs subject to the town engineer’s review and approval. Applicant representative Miss DeVito said the project team has not yet filed a formal application but has engaged a consultant and "intend[s] to fully comply with the zoning code." The board also discussed signage; staff said the applicant is revising signage to meet code standards.
Why it matters: The condition aims to ensure the stormwater system functions as designed, a particular concern for new commercial uses that change impervious area and runoff patterns. The board classified the proposal as a Type 2 action under SECRA and approved the draft decision by voice vote.
The approval included standard conditions in the draft decision plus the referenced inspection/repair requirement for stormwater facilities. The applicant was instructed to proceed with a formal submission and to coordinate on any outstanding items with town staff. The board recorded all votes in favor.
