Zoning board approves 15‑unit Montauk Highway project with three affordable units; negative declaration adopted
Summary
The board adopted a negative declaration and approved application 26117, allowing conversion of an existing mixed‑use building and construction of a new two‑story building for a total of 15 one‑bedroom units, including three affordable units; the applicant committed to 31 parking spaces and other planning conditions.
Attorney Nicole Blanda presented the Montauk Highway multi‑res application, describing a consolidated site of roughly 25,152 square feet with an existing mixed‑use building to remain and a proposed new 3,189 square‑foot two‑story building. Blanda said the town board rezoned the parcels to MR, the planning board approved the overall site plan, and the applicant is providing 31 parking spaces where 30 are required. "So total on the site would be 15," Blanda said, adding that three of the units will be affordable and that first‑floor units will be ADA accessible.
The board asked about the definition of "affordable" and Blanda explained the affordable units would be set by HUD‑based guidelines (80% area median income) with a third‑party administrator such as Long Island Housing Partnership vetting tenants. The board voted to adopt a negative declaration for the application and then voted to approve application 26117 with the conditions in the planning memo dated 07/10/2026. The applicant was required to merge lots, prohibit basements in the new building, limit basement use in the existing building to storage only, and meet other planning conditions recorded on the record.
