Board adopts local law to add fitness studios to 'personal service' definition for 911 North Broadway

The Town Board opened a public hearing on a petition by McCants Consulting LLC (d/b/a MDM Fit) to amend the zoning ordinance to add "personal service/fidness studios" to the definition of permitted uses at 911 North Broadway in the CB district. Attorney Corey Salvo appeared for the petitioner and said planning staff and the planning board recommended the amendment.

Corey Salvo told the board the facility had operated since reopening during COVID and that the owner was unaware approvals were required when he began operating. "In order to legalize this, we needed to just add personal service fitness studios to the personal service definition and then define fitness studios," Salvo said.

There were no public objections at the hearing. The board adopted the negative declaration under SEQR and then voted to adopt the local law to amend the code. The board thanked the petitioner and wished the owner luck; the matter was closed for the evening.
