|PermitOverview=In New York, land use planning is a function of cooperative local government action. [[New York State – General Municipal Law| N.Y. Gen. Muni.

Local governments may implement comprehensive land use plans and regulate land use development to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of its citizens.

|Description===1-NY-a.1 to 1-NY-a.3 — Is there a Comprehensive Land Use Plan in Place?==
The developer should check the local government website, or contact the municipal clerk, code enforcement officer, or planning board clerk to determine if there is a comprehensive plan where the project is located. [[New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Comprehensive Plans Website]].
A comprehensive plan is a written and/or graphic, including but not limited to maps, charts, studies, resolutions, reports and other descriptive material that identify the goals objectives, principles, guidelines, policies, standards, devices and instruments for the immediate and long-range protection, enhancement, growth and development of a city, or village, or county or region, or town located outside the limits of any incorporated village or city. [[New York State – General City Law|N.Y. Gen. City L. §28-a(3)(a), City Comprehensive Plan]]; [[New York State – Town Law|N.Y. Twn. L. §272a(2)(a), Town Comprehensive Plan]]; [[New York State – Village Law|N.Y. Village L. § 7-722(2)(a)]]; [[New York State – General Municipal Law|N.Y. Gen. Muni. L. §§239-b(6), (9)]].
A comprehensive plan is a written and/or graphic, including but not limited to maps, charts, studies, resolutions, reports and other descriptive material that identify the goals, objectives, principles, guidelines, policies, standards, devices and instruments for the immediate and long-range protection, enhancement, growth and development of a city, or village, or county or region, or town located outside the limits of any incorporated village or city. [[New York State – General City Law|N.Y. Gen. City L. §28-a(3)(a), City Comprehensive Plan]]; [[New York State – Town Law|N.Y. Twn. L. §272a(2)(a), Town Comprehensive Plan]]; [[New York State – Village Law|N.Y. Village L. § 7-722(2)(a)]]; [[New York State – General Municipal Law|N.Y. Gen. Muni. L. §§239-b(6), (9)]].
[[New York State – General City Law|N.Y. Gen. City L. §28-a, City Comprehensive Plan]], [[New York State – Town Law|N.Y. Twn. L. §272a, Town Comprehensive Plan]], [[New York State – Village Law|N.Y. Village L. § 7-722, Village Comprehensive Plan]], [[New York State – General Municipal Law|N.Y. Gen. Muni. L. §239-d, County Comprehensive Plan]], and [[New York State – General Municipal Law|N.Y. Gen. Muni. L. §239-i, Regional Comprehensive Plan]] define and describe the legal aspects of comprehensive planning in New York. [[New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Comprehensive Plans Website ]]. These laws allow and encourage the adoption of comprehensive plans for all New York State municipalities, but do not require it.
The village, town, city, county, or regional comprehensive plan will provide a context for determining if the proposed development activity is compatible with the community’s overall plans for development. [[New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Comprehensive Plans Website]]. Activities that are consistent with a comprehensive plan are much less likely to result in impacts to community character or to the environment. [[New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Comprehensive Plans Website]].
If there is a comprehensive plan, the developer should research the plan and any accompanying maps, studies, or other information in order to determine the goals and planning strategies that apply to the proposed project site, and if there are any recommendations applicable to it. Some plans are general in nature and do not make specific recommendations for individual locations in a community. Other plans are very specific and include text or maps indicating exactly what is planned for a particular location. The developer should become familiar with what, if any plans exist for the parcel, as well as what the vision, goals, recommendations, and general mapped land use plans may be included. [[New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Comprehensive Plans Website]].

Special planning districts are areas identified by a local municipality, county, region or state that encompass and plan for a specific resource or location. Municipalities often adopt special planning districts, but they may not be part of a comprehensive plan. Some special plans are regional or targeted to a specific topic or location in the municipality so they may or may not strictly follow the boundaries of the municipality. Special planning districts are used to protect unique environmental, historic, architectural, and other features that require special consideration. Special planning districts usually have a limited focus, and often provide specific standards designed to address that unique resource or location.

==1-NY-a.20 to 1-NY-a.22 — Is the Proposed Project Located within an Area Listed in an Adopted Open Space Plan or Farmland Protection Plan?==
In New York, villages, towns, cities, and counties either have the authority to develop a separate open space plan, or can include the elements of an open space plan in their comprehensive plan. New York villages, towns, cities, and counties may also develop agriculture and farmland protection plans separate from a comprehensive plan. These plans may identify specific areas of importance to the community, and establish policies or specific recommendations pertaining to development of those areas. [[New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Comprehensive Plans Website]].
If the proposed development is located within wholly or partially within an area listed in an adopted open space plan, or an adopted farmland protection plan, the developer should review the plans to determine development restricts and compliance measures.
