Planning Commission — Lennar Rezoning and Key Food Site

The Planning Commission met on July 8 at Village Hall. The agenda called for the commission to adopt a final report to the Village Board on a rezoning petition for 1 & 3 Campus Drive and 8 Carey Court, submitted by US Home, LLC (Lennar). The commission was also scheduled to continue reviewing a proposal to replace the Key Food grocery store at 35 Pleasantville Road with a private Pre-K program and three retail spaces.

Additional agenda items included an Architectural Review Board application for a window display at 220 Tompkins Avenue (Athletes Warehouse) and approval of meeting minutes from June 10, 2026. Minutes from the July 8 meeting have not yet been published.

What This Means for Residents

The rezoning petition from Lennar and the proposed replacement of the Key Food grocery store are the items most likely to affect day-to-day life in Pleasantville. The Lennar petition involves multiple parcels on Campus Drive and Carey Court, and the Planning Commission's report will go to the Village Board for further action. The Key Food site at 35 Pleasantville Road is under review for a change of use that would remove a grocery store and add a Pre-K plus retail tenants. Residents who want to track these proposals should watch for Village Board agendas once the Planning Commission's report is transmitted.

The $385,000 in proposed equipment spending and the Police Chief employment agreement are personnel and budget matters that affect village operations and finances.
