AMENDMENT OF AN EXISTING CHAPTER
LOCAL LAWNO. 2 OF THE YEAR 2006
A LOCAL LAW TO TEMPORARILY AMENDING CHAPTER 230 ENTITLED
"ZONING" OF THE TOWN OF CLAY MUNICIPAL CODE.
BE IT ORDAINED AND ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Clay,
Onondaga County, New York, as follows:
SECTIONS PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 230
That Chapter 230 entitled "ZONING" of the Code of the Town of Clay is
amended as follows:
Local Law No. 2 of the Year 2006 entitled "A Local Law Temporarily
Amending Chapter 230 entitled 'ZONING', of the Town of Clay of Clay Municipal
Code." The purpose of said Local Law is to provide for a temporary moratorium
prohibiting the processing or granting of zone changes by the Town Board, and
prohibiting consideration of recommendations as to zone changes by the Town of Clay
Planning Board for the development of land uses within certain areas of Route 31 and
Route 57 (as defined in a corridor study proposal of F.R.A. Engineering Company
dated April 13th, 2005) in the Town until March 21st, 2006. Said local law reads as
follows:
LOCAL LAW
A local law temporarily amending Chapter 230 entitled "ZONING" of the Town
of Clay Municipal Code.
SECTION 1. PURPOSE That the purpose of this Locai Law is to provide for a temporary moratorium prohibiting the granting of zone changes by the Town Board, nor shall the Planning Board of the Town of Clay consider recommendation of any zone change for the development of land uses within certain areas of Route 31 and Route 57 (as defined in the corridor study proposal of F.R. A. Engineering Company dated April 13th, 2005) In the Town of Clay until March 21st, 2006.
SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS
A. The Town of Clay in recent years has been subjected to rapid commercial
growth in the northwest section of the Town In order to provide retail and
other services to not only its own populace but that of adjacent communities
including Oswego County. Most of the commercial development has been
concentrated in what is known as the Route 57 and Route 31 Corridors. In
this area of the Town, Route 57 is the major north and south highway and
Route 31 is the major east and west highway,
B. Past Corridor Studies for Route 57 and Route 31 fail to give adequate
guidance to meet present day needs as the demand for commercial
development increases. Comprehensive planning must be undertaken
anew so that existing zoning code may be amended or new zoning codes
enacted that will address the interaction of residentiai 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 March 21st, 2006, the
Clay Town Board shall not process nor grant approval of any zone change
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.
