Town of Brookhaven Town Board
Draft Comprehensive Zoning Re-Evluation of the Montauk Highway Corridor for Moriches, Center Moriches, East Moriches and
Eastport
The goal of the proposed Greater Moriches Comprehensive Zoning Re-Evaluation Study (herein after referred to as the “Study”) is
to apply recommendations to guide development in the study area. These recommendations are based on previous plans and
studies and have been made by residents, business owners, community organizations, local leaders and Town of Brookhaven staff
during the review process to improve the character, functionality and future development within the Town’s four (4) southeastern
hamlets.
The Study takes a comprehensive look at existing zoning within the Greater Moriches corridor, which includes Moriches, Center
Moriches, East Moriches and Eastport. Zoning recommendations within the study will guide future growth, while preserving and
enhancing the individual character of each hamlet and addressing elements common to the corridor as a whole, all while
preventing commercial sprawl. The overall goal of the Study’s zoning re-evaluation is to create cohesive zoning within the study
area, eliminate split-zoning and spot-zoning, discard outdated zoning categories, prevent commercial sprawl and reduce
non-conforming uses. The proposed re-zoning of properties (mostly along Montauk Highway) will allow for more cohesive
development patterns and better control over future development along with increased protection of natural resources.
