Sea Cliff Equities, LLC v. Board of Zoning Appeals of Inc. Village of Sea Cliff

In a proceeding pursuant to CFLR article 78 to review a de

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

“ ‘The classification of a “special permit” or “special exception” is tantamount to a legislative finding that, if the special permit or exception conditions are met, the use will not adversely affect the neighborhood and the surrounding areas’ ” (Matter of Metro Enviro Transfer, LLC v Village of Croton-on-Hudson, 7 AD3d 625 , 627 [2004], affd 5 NY3d 236 [2005], quoting Matter of C.B.H. Props. v Rose, 205 AD2d 686 [1994]). “Judicial review of a determination by a zoning board is generally limited to determining whether the action taken by the zoning board was illegal, arbitrary and capricious, or an abuse of discretion” (Matter of Witkowich v Zoning Bd. of Appeals of Town of Yorktown, 84 AD3d 1101 , 1102 [2011]). Here, we agree with the Supreme Court that the determination under review, which revoked a previously-issued special use permit due to noncompliance with the stated conditions, was rational, and was neither illegal, arbitrary and capricious, nor an abuse of discretion (see Matter of Rossney v Zoning Bd. of Appeals of the Inc. Vil. of Ossining, 79 AD3d 894 , 895 [2010]; Matter of Halperin v City of New Rochelle, 24 AD3d 768 , 770 [2005]; see also Matter of Metro Enviro Transfer, LLC v Village of Croton-on-Hudson, 7 AD3d at 626-627 ; Matter of Bell v Szmigel, 171 AD2d 1032 [1991]). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding. Dillon, J.E, Chambers, Hall and Hinds-Radix, JJ., concur.
