VILLAGE BOARD WAS NOT REQUIRED TO CONSIDER AN APPLICATION FOR THE AMENDMENT OF A ZONING ORDINANCE WHICH IS A LEGISLATIVE FUNCTION NOT SUBJECT TO AN ARTICLE 78 REVIEW (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the village board properly declined to consider an application to rezone the subject property, which was an exercise of a legislative function:

“[T]he amendment of a zoning ordinance is a purely legislative function” … . The Village Board is vested with discretion to amend its zoning ordinance, and it is not required to consider and vote upon every application for a zoning change (see Village Law § 7-708 …). Thus, in the present case, the Village Board’s determinations not to consider the plaintiffs/petitioners’ applications were a legislative function not subject to review under CPLR article 78 … . Matter of Hampshire Recreation, LLC v Village of Mamaroneck, 2020 NY Slip Op 02062, Second Dept 3-25-20
