Board to Discuss Oakland Avenue Re-Zoning

The controversial proposal will go to a public discussion again tonight as the Town Board weights its options for how to best handle the area.

Last discussed in January, the re-zoning idea originated this summer when the Harrison Building Department issued citations to several businesses in the area for operating in a residential zone. The businesses, many of which have been there for years, have appealed to the board to consider re-zoning the area to fit its current use.

Neighbors, however, are concerned that re-zoning the area will open the door for more businesses, further congesting an area already low on parking.

The public hearing will be held during the town board meeting.
