No decision to carry out or approve an action, other than an action listed in § 89-3B hereof or Section 617.13 of Title 6 of NYCRR as a Type II action, shall be made by the Town Board or by any department, board, commission, officer or employee of the Town until there has been full compliance with all requirements of this chapter and Part 617 of Title 6 of NYCRR; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting:
The granting of any part of an application which relates only to technical specifications and requirements, provided that no such partial approval shall entitle or permit the applicant to commence the action until all requirements of this chapter and Part 617 of Title 6 of the NYCRR have been fulfilled.
Consistent with Part 617 of Title 6 of NYCRR and the criteria therein, the following actions, in addition to those listed in Section 617.12 of Title 6 of NYCRR as Type I actions, are likely to have a significant effect on the environment: none.
Consistent with Part 617 of Title 6 of NYCRR and the criteria therein, the following actions, in addition to those listed in Section 617.13 of Title 6 of NYCRR as Type II actions, are deemed not to have a significant effect on the environment:
The proposal of amendments to the comprehensive Zoning Law[1] of the Town.
For the purpose of assisting in the determination of whether an action may or will not have a significant effect on the environment, applicants for permits or other approvals shall file a written statement with the Town Planning Board, setting forth the name of the applicant; the location of the real property affected, if any; a description of the nature of the proposed action; and the effect it may have on the environment. In addition, applicants may include a detailed statement of the reasons why, in their view, a proposed action may or will not have a significant effect on the environment. Where the action involves an application, the statement shall be filed simultaneously with the application for the action. The statement provided herein shall be upon a form prescribed by resolution by the Town Planning Board and shall contain such additional relevant information as shall be required in the prescribed form. Such statement shall be accompanied by drawings, sketches and maps, if any, together with any other relevant explanatory material required by the Town Planning Board.
The Town Planning Board shall render a written determination on such application within 15 days following receipt of a complete application and statement; provided, however, that such period may be extended by mutual agreement of the applicant and the Town Planning Board. The determination shall state whether such proposed action may or will not have a significant effect on the environment. The Town Planning Board may hold informal meetings with the applicant and may meet with and consult any other person for the purpose of aiding it in making a determination on the application.
The time limitations provided in this chapter shall be coordinated with, to the extent practicable, other time limitations provided by statute or local law, ordinance or regulation of the Town.[1]
Editor's Note: Original § 65-6, entitled "Fees," which immediately followed this subsection, was repealed 3-9-1989 by L.L. No. 2-1989.
If the Town Planning Board determines that the proposed action is not an exempt action, not an action listed in § 89-3B hereof or Section 617.13 of Title 6 of NYCRR as a Type II action and that it will not have a significant effect on the environment, the Town Planning Board shall prepare, file and circulate such determination as provided in Section 617.10(a)(2) of Title 6 of NYCRR, and thereafter the proposed action may be processed without further regard to this chapter. If the Town Planning Board determines that the proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment, the Town Planning Board shall prepare, file and circulate such determination as provided in Section 617.10(a)(2) of Title 6 of NYCRR, and thereafter the proposed action shall be reviewed and processed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and Part 617 of Title 6 of NYCRR.
Following a determination that a proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment, the Town Planning Board shall, in accordance with the provisions of Part 617 of Title 6 of NYCRR:
In the case of an action not involving an applicant, prepare or cause to be prepared a draft environmental impact statement.[1]
Editor's Note: Original § 65-8B, which dealt with draft environmental impact reports and immediately followed this subsection, was repealed 3-9-1989 by L.L. No. 2-1989.
Actions undertaken or approved prior to the dates specified in Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law for local agencies shall be exempt from this chapter and the provisions of Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and Part 617 of Title 6 of NYCRR; provided, however, that if after such dates the Town Planning Board modifies an action undertaken or approved prior to that date and the Town Planning Board determines that the modification may have a significant adverse effect on the environment, such modification shall be an action subject to this chapter and Part 617 of Title 6 of NYCRR.
