Board declares proposed nonresidential structure a Type 2 action to speed review
Summary
Following a zoning review referencing section 6 17.5 c9, the board declared the project a Type 2 action (no extensive SEQR needed) because the proposed primary nonresidential structure is under size thresholds, allowing earlier construction steps.
Town staff reported that the town’s zoning reviewer (Lee Heim referenced) examined the proposal and, based on the cited provision (section 6 17.5 c9), determined the proposed primary nonresidential structure — under the 4,000-square-foot threshold mentioned in the review — qualifies as a Type 2 action. The chair moved that the board declare the item Type 2 so the project can advance without the full three-part SEQR review.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the code citation and how the determination affects timing; the chair noted that the reviewer found the relevant section late in the day and recommended the Type 2 declaration so the town can proceed sooner with contractor scheduling this spring. The motion passed by voice vote.
