Trustees approve code change allowing accessory structures in Arts and Culture District
Summary
The Board amended Section 435‑30.1(M) of the Village Code to permit accessory structures such as sheds and workspaces in the Arts and Culture District to better support artist uses; the amendment passed unanimously after no public comment.
The Patchogue Board of Trustees unanimously amended the Village Code to allow accessory structures in the Arts and Culture District, a change staff said will permit artist workspaces and storage that the current code disallowed.
Deputy Mayor Brinkman and Village Clerk Devlin said the Building Department frequently receives requests for small accessory workspaces and storage in the Arts and Culture District and that making them permissible aligns the district with other Village zoning districts. "This was just the logical next step of the evolution of the code," Village Attorney Egan said, referencing earlier concerns about concentration that the code update aims to manage.
After no members of the public spoke at the hearing, the Board closed the public hearing and resolved to amend Section 435‑30.1(M) as presented. Trustees noted the change could enable projects such as a sensory room accessory structure referenced earlier in the meeting for a family on Terry Street that prompted part of the code review.
