PURSUANT TO THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
REVIEW ACT
WHEREAS, the Agency is authorized and empowered by the provisions of Chapter 1030
of the 1969 Laws of New York, constituting Title 1 of Article 18-A of the General Municipal Law,
Chapter 24 of the Consolidated Laws of New York, as amended (the “Enabling Act”), Chapter 435
of the Laws of 1970 of the State of New York and Chapter 676 of the Laws of 1975 of the State of
New York, as amended, constituting Section 895 of said General Municipal Law (said Chapter and
the Enabling Act being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Act’’) to promote, develop,
encourage and assist in the acquiring, constructing, reconstructing, improving, maintaining,
equipping and furnishing of manufacturing, warehousing, research, commercial and industrial
facilities, among others, for the purpose of promoting, attracting and developing economically
sound commerce and industry to advance the job opportunities, health, general prosperity and
economic welfare of the people of the State of New York (the “State”), to improve their prosperity
and standard of living, and to prevent unemployment and economic deterioration; and

WHEREAS, to accomplish its stated purposes, the Agency is authorized and empowered
under the Act to acquire, construct, reconstruct and install one or more “‘projects” (as defined in
the Act), or to cause said projects to be acquired, constructed, reconstructed and installed, and to
convey said projects or to lease said projects with the obligation to purchase; and
WHEREAS, the Agency believes acquiring property that becomes currently available can
spur economic development by eliminating property acquisition time and costs for developers with
the ability to bring various industries to Onondaga County; and
WHEREAS, certain persons (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) own certain
parcels of real property located in the Town of Clay, County of Onondaga (each a “Property”
collectively, the Properties); and
WHEREAS, the Properties consist of certain parcels of real property located (i) on Stearns
Road (Tax Map Nos. 064.-01-12.1, 064.-01-12.4 and 077.-01-14.1), (ii) at 5236 State Route 31
(Tax Map No. 064.-01-10.0), (iii) at 8538 Caughdenoy Road (Tax Map No. 064.-01-06.2), and
(iv) 8554 Caughdenoy Road (Tax Map No. 064.-01-07.2); and
WHEREAS, the Sellers have each submitted to the Agency a purchase and sale contract
(each a “Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”) specifying the terms
and conditions pursuant to which each Seller would agree to sell its respective Property to the
Agency; and

WHEREAS, the Executive Director has negotiated each Purchase Agreement with the
guidance of Agency counsel and finds the terms to be fair and satisfactory for the Agency; and
WHEREAS, the Agency desires to purchase the Properties from the Sellers pursuant to the
terms of the Purchase Agreements (together, the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law of the State of
New York, as amended, and the regulations of the Department of Environmental Conservation of
the State of New York promulgated thereunder (collectively referred to hereinafter as “SEQRA”),
the Agency is required to make a determination with respect to the environmental impact of any
Type I or Unlisted “action” (as defined by SEQRA) to be taken by the Agency, and the acquisition
of the Properties constitutes such an action; and
WHEREAS, an Environmental Assessment Form (the “EAF”) has been prepared to aid the
Agency in determining whether the acquisition of the Properties may have a significant effect upon
the environment; and
WHEREAS, the action is limited to the acquisition of the Properties; and
WHEREAS, any consideration of potential impacts associated with any future
development of the Properties at this time would be purely speculative as there is no current
application pending before the Agency to develop the Properties; and
WHEREAS, acquisition of the Properties does not commit the Agency to any future action
or development of the Properties; and

WHEREAS, any future project or development that includes the Properties will be required
to undergo a complete and thorough environmental review pursuant to SEQRA; and
WHEREAS, the Agency’s present environmental review of the acquisition of the
Properties will therefore be no less protective of the environment due to the project specific
SEQRA review that would be necessary concerning any future development of the Properties.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ONONDAGA
COUNTY INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY AS FOLLOWS:
(1) Based upon an examination of the EAF prepared for the action, the criteria
contained in 6 NYCRR §617.7(c), and based further upon the Agency’s knowledge of the
Properties, and such further investigation of the Project and its environmental effects as the Agency
has deemed appropriate, the Agency makes the following findings and determinations with respect
to the Project pursuant to SEQRA:
(a) The Project consists of the components described above;
(b) The Project constitutes an “Unlisted” action (as said quoted term is defined
in SEQRA);
(c) The Project (1) does not direct any subsequent development or commit the
Agency to future actions, (2) potential future development, if it were to occur, would be dependent
upon environmental conditions and other factors that are currently unknown, and (3) the Agency’s
review of the Project will be no less protective of the environment since any potential future
development of the Properties must undergo a thorough environmental review pursuant to
SEQRA;
(d) The Agency, acting as “Lead Agency” (as said quoted term is defined in
SEQRA), hereby determines that the Project will not have a significant adverse effect on the
environment, and the Agency will not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement with respect to the Project; and

(e) As a consequence of the foregoing, the Agency has prepared a Negative
Declaration with respect to the Project, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.
(2) A copy of this Resolution, together with the attachments hereto, shall be placed on
file in the office of the Agency where the same shall be available for public inspection during
business hours.
(3) The Agency’s counsel is hereby authorized and directed to distribute and file this
Resolution in accordance with the requirements of SEQRA.
(4) This Resolution shall take effect immediately.
The question of the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly put to vote on a roll call, which
resulted as follows:

Full Environmental Assessment Form
Part 3 - Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts
and
Determination of Significance

Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question
in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular
element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact.
Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess
the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not
have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its
determination of significance.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
To complete this section:
e Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity,
size or extent of an impact.
e Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact
occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to
occur.
e The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes.

e Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where
there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse
environmental impact.
e Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact
e For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that
no significant adverse environmental impacts will result.
e Attach additional sheets, as needed.
An evaluation of the magnitude and importance of project impacts was completed. None of the questions or topics in Part 2 resulted in the identification
of potential moderate to large impacts that may occur as a result of the proposed action. The proposed action involves the purchase of private property by
OCDIA. No significant adverse environmental impacts have been identified through Part 1 and Part 2 completion and review.
Determination of Significance - Type 1 and Unlisted Actions
SEQR Status: (Type 1 Unlisted
Identify portions of EAF completed for this Project: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

FEAF 2019
Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF, as noted, plus this additional support information
The Project (1) does not direct any subsequent development or commit the Agency to future actions, (2) potential future development, if it were to occur
would be dependent upon environmental conditions and other factors that are currently unknown, an je Agency's review of the Project will be no less
and considering both the magnitude and importance of each identified potential impact, it is the conclusion of the
Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency as lead agency that:
CD A. This project will result in no significant adverse impacts on the environment, and, therefore, an environmental impact
statement need not be prepared. Accordingly, this negative declaration is issued.
C1 B. Although this project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment, that impact will be avoided or
substantially mitigated because of the following conditions which will be required by the lead agency:
There will, therefore, be no significant adverse impacts from the project as conditioned, and, therefore, this conditioned negative
declaration is issued. A conditioned negative declaration may be used only for UNLISTED actions (see 6 NYCRR 617.7(d)).

(J c. This Project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts on the environment, and an environmental impact
statement must be prepared to further assess the impact(s) and possible mitigation and to explore alternatives to avoid or reduce those
impacts. Accordingly, this positive declaration is issued.
