Port council OKs $164K rewrite of zoning code

Port Washington has modified its zoning code through the years, but the document is about to undergo a complete revision.

The Common Council last week hired Graef-USA Inc. to create a new zoning code for $164,500.

The process is expected to take 18 to 20 months, with the new code expected to be completed by June 30, 2025.

Port’s current code was written in 1965 and needs to be updated to address ongoing and future development and redevelopment issues, Bob Harris, the city’s director of planning and development, said.
