LOCALLAW
A local law temporarily amending Chapter 230 entitled "ZONING" of the Code of the
Town of Clay.
SECTION L PURPOSE That the purpose of this Local Law provides for a temporary moratorium prohibiting the processing or granting of zone changes to the R-APT, Apartment District, by the Town Board, nor shall the Planning Board of the Town of Clay consider recommendations as to zone changes for the development of land uses within the Town for R-APT, Apartment District until August 31st, 2009.
SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS
A. The Town of Clay in recent years has been subjected to rapid growth in the Town
in order to provide residential, retail, commercial and other services to not only its
own populace but also that of adjacent communities, including Oswego Counly.
B. R-APT, Apartment District fails to give adequate guidance to meet present day
needs as the demand for senior housing development increases. Planning must be
undertaken anew so that the existing zoning code may be amended that will address
the interaction of apartment uses with senior housing to create controls in order to
achieve a more flexible density of land uses and means of access to our Town
Highways. This zone would also allow for a variety of land uses, which cannot be
found in the R-APT zoning district. Residential uses with commercial, create
controls as to the density of land use, and provide better means of access to these
arterial highways that will ensure a reasonable flow of traffic for the residents and
users of our Town Highways.
SECTION 3. TIME PERIOD AND PROHIBITION
A. As of the effective date of this local law, and until August 31st, 2009, the Clay
Town Board shall not process nor grant approval of any zone changes for the R-
APT, Apartment District, nor shall the Planning Board of the Town of Clay
consider recommendation of any zone change as required by the Zoning
Regulations of the Town of Clay for the use of any land or development thereof in
those areas hereinafter designated by this local law.
B. The prohibitions provided herein shall apply to all applications pending or filed
with the Town for zone changes or site plan approvals where public hearings for
same have not been scheduled prior to the adoption of this local law.
TOWN OF CLAY
SECTION 4. EXEMPTIONS

designated areas where site plan approval is or has been granted prior to the
effective date of this local law.
SECTIONS. AREAS SUBJECT TO MORATORIUM
The areas within which the provisions of this local law shall apply are located only
within all borders of the Town of Clay.
SECTION 6, UNCONSTITUTIONALITY OR ILLEGALITY
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section or part of this local law shall be
adjudged by any Court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, illegal, or invalid,
such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be
confined to its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section or part thereof
directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
