Zoning and land use

Riverhead Town has scheduled four community meetings this month to gather public input about the future of each of the town's hamlets.

The multimillion-dollar development proposal, by far the biggest private investment in a blighted area the town has struggled to revitalize for decades, is the first major project to come before the town board under the Railroad Avenue Overlay District adopted by the board in January.

Calverton Manor and the Town of Riverhead have signed a stipulation discontinuing the two lawsuits brought by the Smithtown developer in an effort to overturn the town's 2003 comprehensive plan and the zoning adopted to implement it.

A proposal to allow outdoor storage of new motor vehicles on certain industrially zoned property in Calverton has been scuttled, after pushback from area residents.
