When Zoning Amendment Adds Permitted Uses In Zoning District, Landowners Subject to the Ordinance Have Standing to Challenge the Amendment
Matter of Kogut v. Village of Chestnut Ridge, 2023 WL 2506325, AppDiv, Second Dept. (memorandum opinion)
In landowners' hybrid article 78 proceeding and declaratory judgment action challenging enactment of a local law, the village appealed from Supreme Court's denial of its motion to dismiss three causes of action. The Appellate division affirmed, holding that landowners had standing to challenge the local law and that the village's evidence did not support dismissal of the landowners' claim that the local law violated SEQRA.
In 2018, the village board of trustees first considered a proposed House of Worship Law (HOW law) that would permit additional gathering places and houses of religious worship in residential districts, subject to issuance of a conditional use permit. The village considered a full environmental assessment form and issued a negative declaration under SEQRA. On Feb. 21, 2019, the village board enacted the HOW law. Landowners, who own homes affected by the ordinance, brought this proceeding contending that the village had failed to comply with SEQRA. Supreme Court denied the village's motion to dismiss.

Shifting Crypto and Cyber Enforcement Priorities In SEC
When the SEC issues the next annual enforcement report for fiscal year 2025, we expect securities offering actions and investment adviser actions will almost certainly be up, and the “crypto” and “cyber” cases will almost certainly be down. Public statements by the new SEC administration have said as much, but even more telling than public statements are the allocation of limited enforcement resources.
