A limited Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (“ESA”) was performed on behalf of the SCLBC and the County in 2014, followed by a limited Phase II ESA in 2015. The assessments found multiple environmental conditions and recommended multiple remedial alternatives. Links to the downloadable reports can be found below.

As per the Town of Islip the site is zoned as Industrial 1, which provides for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses. Additional uses may be permitted via special permit by the Islip Town Board, Planning Board, and/or Zoning Board of Appeals. For a list of permitted uses, please visit Islip Town Code at: http://ecode360.com/7705951
The SCLBC has communicated with officials in the Town of Islip’s Department of Planning and Development, whom indicated a rezoning of the site to Residence CA, as a possible opportunity. This rezoning would allow attached or detached single family dwellings, as well as detached single family dwellings. Such a rezoning would require the site be remediated to regulatory levels consistent with end use.
