Joshua B. Subin, a member of our Municipal Law & Land Use and Commercial Litigation groups, along with co-counsel Leo Dorfman (Sokoloff & Stern) working, on behalf of the Village of Briarcliff Manor, obtained a preliminary settlement of a major Religious Land Use & Institutionalized Persons Act suit, making way for potential redevelopment of the former Pace University Site located in the Village. In a press release, the Village advised that it has reached an agreement with Yeshivath Viznith Dkhal Torath Chaim and Khal Torath Chiam “to suspend litigation and explore alternative uses of the property located at 235 Elm Road. Developers are pursuing the purchase of the property for residential use, and the Village has agreed to study our current zoning, review potential site plans, and consider the associated impacts and benefits such redevelopment might offer our Village.” The settlement and the Village’s decision were also reported by various new organizations.
