PART II - Environmental Assessment - A Local Law to Amend the
Zoning Ordinance in Certain Administrative Matters and to Reflect
the Adoption of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and
v Building Code.
A. Action is Unlisted.
B. Action will not receive coordinated review.
C. Could action result in any adverse effects on, to or arising
from the following:
Cl. Existing air quality, surface or groundwater quality or
quantity, noise levels, existing traffic patterns, solid waste
production or disposal, potential for erosion, drainage or
flooding problems?
Not expected. Action itself does not involve any physical
alterations to the environment. Actions exempt from the building
permit requirement would generally be Type II actions, not likely
to have a significant adverse environmental impact.
C2. Aesthetic, agricultural, archeological, historic, or
other natural or cultural resources, or community or neighborhood
character?
Not expected, for the reasons stated in Cl above.
C3. Vegetation or fauna, fish, shellfish or wildlife
species, significant habitats, or threatened or endangered
P species?
o Not expected, for the reasons stated in Cl above.
C4. A community's existing plans or goals as officially
adopted, or a change in use or intensity of use of land or other
natural resources?
No significant adverse impact is expected with respect to
these considerations. This amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is
pursuant to Title 19, NYCRR Paragraph 444, "Uniform Code: Minimum
Standards for Administration and Enforcement".
This amendment would remove the current exemption of
accessory agricultural buildings from requiring a building
permit, resulting in more thorough application and enforcement of
the Zoning Ordinance and the N.Y.S. Uniform Fire Prevention and
Building Code. The definition of repairs, alterations, and
renovations in any zoning district which are exempt from
requiring a building permit is more fully expanded in this
amendment. Requirements for obtaining a certificate of Occupancy
are also more fully defined.
A beneficial impact is expected from this amendment, with
respect to compliance with the requirements of the N.Y.S. Uniform
Fire Prevention and Building Code, and with respect to enhanced
application and enforcibility of the Zoning Ordinance.
C5. Growth, subsequent development, or related activities
likely to be induced by the proposed action?
Not expected, provided that any construction in increments
�� each below the $ 10,000 maximum for construction or alterations
is monitored.
C6. Long term, short term, cumulative, or other effects not
identified in Cl-05?
Not expected.
C7. Other impacts (including changes in use of either
quantity or type of energy)?
Not expected.
D. Is there, or is there likely to be, controversy related to
potential adverse environmental impacts?
No controversy is currently anticipated.
PART III
A negative determination of environmental significance is
recommended for this action, which is an improvement of
provisions for construction and use enforcement and
administration.
