Some building permits on hold in Levittown as officials consider smaller house size limits

The Town of Hempstead will not approve permit applications for an unspecified number of houses in Levittown while the town board considers zoning changes that would reduce the size of residences that can be built there, town officials said at a hearing.

The hearing on a proposed zoning change to reduce the allowable building area for houses in the Levittown Planned Residence District — a district encompassing Levittown as well as parts of surrounding areas — drew a standing-room-only crowd. The proposal would shrink the allowable building area to 27.5% of a lot size from 30%.
