APPLICATIONS FOR A NATURAL RESOURCES SPECIAL PERMIT AND A VARIANCE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF RETAINING WALLS IN AN AREA OF PROTECTED BEACH VEGETATION PROPERLY DENIED, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NATURAL RESOURCES SPECIAL PERMIT AND A VARIANCE EXPLAINED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the zoning board of appeals (ZBA) properly denied petitioner’s application for a natural resources special permit for the construction of retaining walls. The walls had been construction without applying for the permit. The petitioner’s application for a variance was properly denied because the criteria for a variance are more stringent than the criteria for a natural resources special permit. The retaining wall was built in an area of protected beach vegetation:

“Unlike a variance which gives permission to an owner to use property in a manner inconsistent with a local zoning ordinance, a special exception gives permission to use property in a way that is consistent with the zoning ordinance, although not necessarily allowed as of right” … . Thus, the burden of proof on the applicant seeking a special use permit “is lighter than that on an applicant seeking a variance, the former only being required to show compliance with any legislatively imposed conditions on an otherwise permitted use, while the latter must show an undue hardship in complying with the ordinance” … . “A denial of a special use permit must be supported by evidence in the record and may not be based solely upon community objection” … . “However, where evidence supporting the denial exists, deference must be given to the discretion of the zoning board, and a court may not substitute its own judgment for that of the zoning board, even if a contrary determination is supported by the record” … . Matter of 278, LLC v Zoning Bd. of Appeals of the Town of E. Hampton, 2018 NY Slip Op 01913, Second Dept 3-21-18
