Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 74 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 74-14
Applicability
Operative Text
The provisions of this Article shall apply to the subdivision, re-subdivision and development of land (site plans) in all existing or future zoning districts, including commercial and industrial zones which permit residential development, where five (5) or more residential lots or dwelling units are proposed, and where the land has been the subject of an applicant-initiated zone change which has resulted in an increase in the lot yield or density allowance.
Section 74-14 of Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 74 defines the scope of this Article's requirements. The rules apply when a property owner proposes to subdivide, re-subdivide, or develop land into five or more residential lots or dwelling units, but only when the project also involves an applicant-initiated zone change that increased the allowable lot yield or density. Both conditions—the minimum unit threshold and the applicant-driven rezoning—must be present for the Article's provisions to be triggered, and the rule covers all zoning districts, including commercial and industrial zones that allow residential uses.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and developers working in Huntington should be aware that Chapter 74, Section 74-14 sets a two-part threshold for when this Article's obligations attach. A compliant operator generally confirms early in the planning process whether a proposed project meets both criteria: five or more residential lots or units, and a prior applicant-initiated zone change that raised density or lot yield. Operators typically document the zoning history of a site to determine applicability before submitting subdivision or site-plan applications to the relevant municipal body.

For tenants and prospective residents, Section 74-14 of Huntington's Code establishes which residential developments are subject to the protections and requirements found elsewhere in this Article. If a development affecting your housing was created through a rezoning that increased density and involved five or more units, the full Article may apply to that project. Tenants who believe a development should have been subject to this Article's requirements can raise that question with a tenant-rights organization or review the project's zoning history through Huntington's municipal records.
