Board of Trustees Meets Tonight as Comprehensive Zoning Review Begins
Sea Cliff, NY · November 9, 2026
Step outside in your heavier sweater today — between the gray ceiling and a steady harbor chill, you will want the extra layer before tonight's 7 PM village board meeting.
The Lead
Following the formal adoption of its updated Comprehensive Plan, Sea Cliff has launched a systematic overhaul of the village zoning code. Backed by grant support from the New York State Department of State, the project marks the first wall-to-wall evaluation of local land-use laws in decades. Planners are examining how existing regulations fit the realities of the village's historic layout, where narrow streets and 40-by-60-foot Victorian lots often clash with modern property standards, parking needs, and accessory dwellings. The initiative also aims to clarify rules for downtown business uses and home occupations along commercial corridors. Ahead of tonight's Board of Trustees public session at Village Hall, municipal officials launched an informational project portal where residents can track proposed ordinance drafts. Formal public hearings on individual code sections will begin in early 2027.

Spotlight & Story
- Still Partners Taking over 225 Sea Cliff Avenue in 2013, Dan Roth and Ray Capone kept the previous tavern's three-decade name with a nod to village tradition. Upgraded gastropub fare, rotating taps, and weekly live sets turned the room into a perennial neighborhood living room.
