Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 74 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 74-34
Workforce housing
Operative Text
When a subdivision plat or site plan for five or more residential units or a mixed-use development is being considered by the Planning Board, a developer seeking a density bonus or other incentive shall establish workforce housing in compliance with the provisions of § 699 et seq. of the General Municipal Law. Such housing shall be located on or off-site, or in lieu thereof the applicable fee shall be deposited, all as a set forth in § 699-b(1)(a),(b) and (c) of the General Municipal Law.
Under Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 74 § 74-34, when a developer seeks a density bonus or other incentive as part of a subdivision plat or site plan involving five or more residential units or a mixed-use development, the project must include workforce housing. That workforce housing obligation must comply with New York General Municipal Law § 699 et seq., and the housing may be provided on-site, off-site, or through an in-lieu fee payment as specified in General Municipal Law § 699-b(1)(a), (b), and (c). This rule ties density-bonus approvals to an affirmative commitment to workforce housing production or funding.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Developers and property owners pursuing a density bonus or other Planning Board incentive for projects of five or more residential units in Huntington should be aware that § 74-34 requires a workforce housing component meeting the standards of New York General Municipal Law § 699 et seq. Compliant operators typically document their chosen compliance path — on-site units, off-site units, or an in-lieu fee — before or during the Planning Board review process. Familiarity with the specific requirements of General Municipal Law § 699-b(1)(a), (b), and (c) is generally part of preparing a complete application.

Those with questions about how this provision affects housing availability in a particular development may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the Planning Board's public records.
