$200 Million Redevelopment Project Faces Zoning Hurdles in Hicksville
What happened
Oyster Bay officials are reviewing final approvals for a $200 million redevelopment of the former Broadway Mall in Hicksville, which is planned as Broadway Commons. The project aims to transform the property into an open-air shopping center called Shops on Broadway. The developer needs to secure five key variances from the town's zoning board of appeals to proceed.

Why it matters
The redevelopment involves a major overhaul of a large retail property, requiring approvals for operational changes, including allowing businesses to operate later into the evening. The proposal also requests fewer parking spaces than required by town code, moving from 4,848 spots to 4,092.
