Town Code Chapter 301 amendments — golf cottages definition (Article I) and Transfer of Development Rights (Article XLII)
Town of Riverhead
Description
The board only set public hearings (around January 21) on two zoning code amendments — one adds a "golf cottages" definition doubling cottage size to 1,200 square feet versus the comp plan's 600 — after agreeing to publish the full amendment text so residents actually know what's proposed.
Impact summary
Golf cottages could add a new lodging use on golf courses; the TDR update affects how development rights move around town. Hearings are coming — speak up then.
