Planning Board: Work Session -- 07.09.2026

The Town of Penfield Planning Board held a work session on July 9, 2026, focusing on several tabled applications and a site plan modification. Key procurement-related discussions included the review of a mixed-use development at 1801 Fairport Nine Mile Point Road, where the board considered revised plans involving commercial and future residential uses, infrastructure improvements, and traffic mitigation measures coordinated with New York State DOT. The board discussed drafting a negative declaration and preliminary approval resolution contingent on further environmental and site plan reviews. Another significant agenda item was a three-lot single-family residential subdivision at 1573 Creek Street, with conditions including shared driveway easements and restrictions on future subdivision to protect neighborhood character. Additionally, a site plan modification for the Arburies at Penfield development was presented, proposing a reduction and relocation of pickleball courts and the addition of a fenced dog park as a resident amenity. The board addressed concerns about the dog park's proximity to a nearby shooting range but noted it was a resident-driven amenity with potential for future reconsideration. No final votes were taken on the major projects, as further details and resolutions were to be drafted. Overall, the meeting emphasized site plan approvals, infrastructure planning, and community amenity adjustments, with attention to environmental and traffic impacts.
