Coastal Breezes, New Zoning Codes & Weekend Outings
Sea Cliff, NY · August 8, 2026
Drizzle is drifting off the harbor this morning, but there is still plenty to fill a relaxed Saturday ahead.
The Lead
Following the adoption of the village's Comprehensive Plan, municipal officials are advancing a comprehensive update to local zoning codes to guide future land use across the community. Supported by funding from the New York State Smart Growth Program, the multi-month initiative aims to modernize building regulations while strengthening protections for historic architecture and coastal shorelines.
Key priorities include clarifying residential setback rules, updating commercial district standards along Sea Cliff Avenue, and integrating modern flood-resilience guidelines for low-lying shoreline areas. Draft text sections will roll out in phases over the coming months, accompanied by public feedback sessions designed to gather resident input before formal adoption. Detailed documentation and public workshop schedules are accessible through the village administration portal.
