Glen Cove's waterfront properties along Long Island Sound and the Hempstead Harbor inlet must comply with NYS Coastal Management Program consistency review, Chapter 122 floodplain rules, and Chapter 109 shoreline-structure permitting in addition to standard zoning.
The city's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP), approved by the NYS Department of State, governs land-use decisions affecting the waterfront. Major projects undergo LWRP consistency review by city staff before building permits issue. The Coastal Erosion Hazard Area Act (Article 34 of ECL) overlays NYSDEC-mapped erosion zones. The waterfront RXR development site at Garvies Point includes mandatory public-access easements and shoreline-stabilization standards adopted through site-specific zoning amendments.
LWRP non-conforming projects can be denied or conditioned; violations of Article 34 carry NYSDEC penalties separate from city enforcement under § 1-15.
