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

Planning Department showing no significant deleterious impact, and stating the
Board is free to act in compliance with Section 239 1&m of the General Municipal
Law; and

zoning including residential; and
Whereas, existing zoning allows business use as defined under Article IV
Section3 in insert 6 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;
