Summary
Local Law #1 of 2026 closes the special-permit loophole that allowed apartments above retail in Neighborhood and General Business zones. Three North Chili residents backed it, saying it protects the town's suburban character — and Supervisor Dunning confirmed it would block the proposed Titan Rock mixed-use building on Berry Lane if adopted. Councilwoman DiFlorio noted incentive zoning remains a path for such projects elsewhere in town.
