Information submitted: FEAF Part 1, Safety Systems and Regulatory Controls at Modern Fueling Facilities Memo Conclusion: The project is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the noise, odor, or light on the site. 16. Impact on Human Health Given that part of the project involves a fuel station component, there have been some questions in regard to applicable safety standards for fueling facilities. The Applicant presented at the 3/9 Town Board public hearing and produced a memo detailing the applicable EPA and NYSDEC standards. Fueling facilities in New York State operate under strict environmental regulations requiring advanced engineering systems and operational safeguards. These protections— including double‑wall tanks, leak detection technology, spill containment systems, operator training, and regular inspections—greatly reduce the risk of fuel releases compared to older filling station designs.

Impact on Community Plans Due to the project needing a rezoning, the question of whether “the proposed action is inconsistent with local land use plans or zoning regulations” was checked as a moderate to large impact. During Code Review and Planning Board review of the project, it was determined that a rezoning from C-1 to C-2 would not result in spot zoning, nor would it be inconsistent with zoning in the area, given that there are C-2 uses across the street, and to the immediate east of the property. The project is within a commercial corridor of the Town, and the rezoning report that was produced by the Planning Board highlights that Comprehensive Plan denotes that the north side of Southwestern Boulevard is a commercial area but suggests that it needs uses and restrictions that protect the surrounding residential areas. There also is adequate fire protection and other community services in this area.
