Item Z-2020-30 - The Leffell School, 148-302 Rosedale Avenue, SBL 138.10-8-5
Application to request temporary structures remain in place for more than six (6)
months. The proposed request for the temporary structures at the existing private
elementary school is intended so that they can safely operate their facility at current
student levels within the COVID guidelines and protocols developed by the State for
Educational Institutions. The proposal consists of the installation of two (2) temporary
classroom structures and two (2) temporary restroom trailers. A private elementary
school is a special permit use where the Board of Appeals is the approving agency per
Section 6.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant requests an amendment to the
special permit to install the temporary structures for the current school year.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS REPORTED; NO PUBLIC HEARING

Item Z-2020-32 - 31 Westmoreland, LLC, 10-12 Robertson Avenue, SBL 125.65-5-12
Application for a use variance. A review of the change of tenancy application with
attached sketch indicates a motor vehicle sale and showroom, for motorcycles and
ATVs, in the existing one (1) story building. The original use was deemed legally
non-conforming due to the zoning district change after original construction and use.
The premises are currently located in the RM-1.5 Zone where the proposed use is not
permitted. The property has been vacant for more than six (6) months and per Section
4.3.2.5 of the White Plains Zoning Ordinance, any future use of the land or building
shall be in full conformity with the provisions of the zoning ordinance. The proposed
non complying use of the existing building will therefore require a use variance.
