Greenburgh zoning board approves Chick‑fil‑A site plan with strict traffic, parking and monitoring conditions
Summary
The Zoning Board of Appeals granted site-plan approval for a Chick‑fil‑A with multiple conditions including a traffic management plan, a traffic-impact study and monitoring, off-site parking documentation (30 spaces within 250 ft recorded with the county), shielded lighting, and no CO until off-site improvements are completed.
The Greenburgh Zoning Board of Appeals voted on Nov. 14 to approve the site-plan application for a Chick‑fil‑A (case 2407) with a package of traffic and monitoring conditions intended to prevent queuing onto public roads.
During deliberations the board read detailed findings and made approval contingent on obtaining all required approvals and filing them with the building department, implementing an approved traffic-management plan, and submitting a traffic-impact study to the New York State Department of Transportation for signal timing recommendations at Route 119 and Old Kensico Road. The motion, read aloud by the chair, requires that no certificate of occupancy be issued until off-site traffic-signal timing and other listed improvements are in place.
The motion also requires the applicant to secure and record an agreement guaranteeing at least 30 parking spaces within 250 feet of the Greenburgh portion of the site for customer parking; the recorded document must bind the owners of those spaces and be filed with the Westchester County Clerk's office. The board ordered that lights visible from residential properties be downward-directed and shielded and authorized the police chief to require earlier monitoring if safety warrants it.
The approval includes mandatory post-opening traffic monitoring no later than six months after opening (or sooner at the police chief's request), with specific metrics: drive-through queuing lengths during peak periods, vehicles parked on-site during peak periods, and vehicles entering and exiting via the County Center Road driveways. The motion warned that failure to implement the traffic-management plan could trigger fines and potential reopening or revocation of approvals.
A board member seconded the motion and the board approved it on a voice vote.
What happens next: the applicant must complete required off-site improvements and file documentation with the building department and the county clerk before a certificate of occupancy may be issued.
