Zoning Board of Appeals: Public Hearing -- 06.18.2026

The Town of Penfield Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on June 18, 2026, to review multiple zoning variance applications and conditional use requests. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of area variances for accessory structures such as sheds and barns, with considerations of size, setbacks, and neighborhood character. The board approved a variance for a large accessory building with conditions restricting commercial use and storage outside the structure. Another significant item was the approval of a conditional use for a new 7 Brew Coffee location, including variances for canopy setback and signage, with assurances about lighting and traffic flow. The board also discussed notification procedures for homeowners associations to improve community engagement in future applications. Several motions to approve variances and conditional uses were passed unanimously, with conditions to ensure compliance with zoning codes and neighborhood compatibility.
