The Rye Arts Center Zoning Petition
Rye Arts Center, Inc. has submitted a petition to the Rye City Council to amend the text of the Rye City Zoning Code to permit “Arts Center Use” as a new use permitted subject to additional standards and requirements in the R-1 to RT Residence Districts.
The Rye Arts Center is a not-for-profit corporation that operates under a long-term lease in a City-owned building at 51 Milton Road, located within Rye Recreation Park. Recently, a benefactor acquired an adjacent residential property at 25 Milton Road and gifted the property to the Rye Arts CenterContinue reading

The Rye Arts Center is a not-for-profit corporation that operates under a long-term lease in a City-owned building at 51 Milton Road, located within Rye Recreation Park. Recently, a benefactor acquired an adjacent residential property at 25 Milton Road and gifted the property to the Rye Arts Center to construct a new art center facility. The petition for amendment to the Rye City Zoning Code is required because the contemplated use for 25 Milton Road for an arts center facility does not fit into any existing use categories in the Rye City Zoning Code in any of the zoning districts.

My name is Andrew Bazylevsky and I reside at 15 Milton Road with my family of three young children.
The proposed parking lot and driveway of the new facility facing Milton Road present a major safety concern for both pedestrians and vehicular traffic at an already busy stretch of road. We are arguably the most impacted residential neighbor of the proposed expansion to the Rye Arts Center at 25 Milton Road given that we abut the property immediately to the north. Assuming a northern egress along the northbound side of Milton Road, the proposed roadside parking lot and driveway would... Continue reading

plz ask the RAC to create a facade more in keeping with the existing neighborhood. The interior and rear of the building can be as stark and modern as they want. Will the other ‘neighbors’ with sizable property also want the same zone change to monetize the value of their property? If so, it will change this area in adverse way.This is a residential, spiritual part of Milton Rd.

Re: Disapproval of Rye Arts Center’s proposed zoning change and expansion at 25 Milton Road
We want to support initiatives that benefit the Rye community’s enjoyment of the arts if they are of benefit to the entire community. We believe that the Rye Arts Center’s proposed expansion will cause adverse impacts to the Rye community as a whole and that the proposed zoning change to convert 25 Milton Road into an Arts Center Use Standard should not be approved unless substantial restrictions are put in place...

Thank you for taking time on 2/8 to conduct a site walk of 25 Milton Road (the Yellow House). The secondary house now “owned” by the Rye Arts Center, for which they have requested a change of its zoning designation to commercial use with the further goal to convert it to a fee based (classes, fundraisers, weddings) special events mixed use (including a coffee shop and lounge) property.
It is not a benign re-zoning request with de minimis impact.
Straight away, before, during, and after construction, the new building would add an inordinate... Continue reading
