WHEREAS, the State Legislature has delegated to its local governments the authority to enact zoning and land use regulations pursuant to a duly adopted comprehensive plan; and
WHEREAS, indeed, such regulations may be enacted to promote such valid public purposes as the protection of historic character, community aesthetics, distinctive community character, and the maintenance of diverse and vibrant commercial areas; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature has found that these valid public purposes are being threatened in communities across the State by the phenomenon of formula retail businesses, which may serve to erode such resources as historic character, aesthetics, unique community character, and commercial diversity that creates a sameness and destroys a community’s identity; and
WHEREAS, while communities across the nation have enacted laws to regulate formula retail uses in order to mitigate these adverse impacts, in New York, the statutes which delegate zoning and land use authority to local governments are silent with respect to this new threat to community character; and
WHEREAS, as a result, local governments have been reluctant to enact regulations, fearing the uncertainty and potential litigation that such laws may invite given the lack of specific authority in the state enabling legislation; and
WHEREAS, thus, the purpose of Assembly Bill A. 9626 and Senate Bill S. 6789, is to clarify that local governments have the authority to adopt comprehensive plans and local laws and ordinances that regulate these uses in an effort to promote legitimate public purposes related to a community’s character; and
WHEREAS, specifically, Assembly Bill A.9626 and Senate Bill S. 6789, proposes to amend New York State Town Law by adding a new §261-d, which would (i) define a “formula retail use” as a retail sales establishment that, along with ten or more other retail sales establishments located in the United States, maintains two or more of the following features: a standardized array of merchandise, a standardized façade, a standardized décor and color scheme, a uniform apparel, standardized signage, and a trademark or a servicemark, and (ii) authorizes local municipalities to regulate, restrict, or prohibit “formula retail uses” where enacted pursuant to a Comprehensive Plan and a valid public purpose; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board is supportive of such a measure; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Southampton hereby supports Assembly Bill A. 9626 and Senate Bill S. 6789 as they relate to authorizing the enactment of zoning laws and ordinances which regulate “formula retail uses,” and, in particular, the addition of section 261-d to New York State Town Law; and be it further
