We are asked to decide whether Town Law § 274-b (3) authorizes a zoning board of appeals (ZBA) to grant area variances from special use permit requirements. For the reasons that follow, we hold that Town Law § 274-b (3) vests a ZBA with authority to grant an area variance from any requirement in a zoning regulation, including those for a special use permit.
