Town of Oyster Bay updates parking laws amid legal battle with L.I. Muslims over mosque

The Oyster Bay Town board made changes to its zoning laws involving theaters, museums and libraries at its Tuesday, Oct. 7, board meeting in a bid to create equal parking spaces for secular and non-secular users while a lawsuit claiming the town discriminated against a Bethpage mosque looms.

The new law, unanimously approved by the board, sets the minimum number of parking spaces required for theaters, museums, libraries and places of public assembly at one per three persons occupancy.
