AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE
DATED 6/16/1999
Whereas, this board adopted a new comprehensive plan (pursuant to Town Law 272-a on
April 13, 1999 setting forth the geographic areas intended to be zoned in the future as
residential upon completion of the town wide zoning ordinance now in creation; and
Whereas, a building moratorium is presently in existence for areas along Route 96 in the
Ulysses Township presently zoned as business districts (under Article IV Section 3) of
the Town Zoning Ordinance and which under the new comprehensive plan should be
residential, (Article IV Section 1); and
Whereas, the Town Board desires to comply with the comprehensive plan as soon as
possible and is aware that it may be another six (6) months before full town wide zoning
pursuant to the comprehensive plan is in place; and
Whereas, the only areas in the comprehensive plan that are being moved from business to
residential were set forth in the prior moratorium to avoid development inconsistent to
the present comprehensive plan is in place; and
Whereas, the moratorium is about to expire and the Town Board is anxious there be no
commercial development in the defined area and wishes to re -zone the area to residential
use pending town wide re -zoning which will redefine permitted uses further in the town
wide ordinance; and
Whereas, the Town Board is in receipt of a review by the Tompkins County Planning
Department showing no significant deleterious impact, and stating the Board is free to act
in compliance with Section 2391&m of the General Municipal Law; and
Whereas, duly noticed public hearing was held June 8, 1999 to consider this re -zoning
including residential; and
Whereas, existing zoning allows business use as defined under Article IV Section3 in
insert 5 and 6 of the official zoning map under appendix C of the Town zoning
Ordinance being 300 feet in depth along Route 96; and
Whereas, the comprehensive plan is intended to eliminate business use in insert 5 and 6
with the exception hereinafter referred to and as described on the attached parcel
references which 14 parcels shall remain unchanged as permitted business use presently
in effect; and
Whereas, the Town Board has duly reviewed the State Environmental Quality Review
statement and made findings thereon, and issued a negative declaration; and
Whereas, existing structures are hereby deemed grandfathered as pre-existing uses for
purposes of this ordinance:
Now therefore, at a duly constituted meeting of this board held this date it is hereby
adopted pursuant to Town Law 264 and that the areas defined herewith be deemed re-
zoned to a residential district as presently defined under Article IV Section 1 of the
existing Town Zoning Ordinance, and that the Town Clerk duly file this resolution with
its minutes and issue publication pursuant to Town Law 264, and affidavits thereof be
duly filed with said clerk.
