Town of New Lebanon - Introductory Local Law No. 1 of 2024

Negative Declaration

Columbia County - The Town of New Lebanon Town Board , as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Introductory Local Law No. 1 of 2024 will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The proposed action is the adoption of a local law to:

1. Create a new zoning district, the Central Commercial zoning district, that is intended to represent the "town center" of the Town of New Lebanon and which is intended to have vibrant, customer intensive commercial activity;
2. Modify the boundaries of the existing General Commercial zoning district;
3. Require a special use permit for development and use of land for self-storage facilities, and designate such uses as permissible in the General Commercial, Commercial-Industrial, and Commercial-Residential zoning districts;
4. Adopt special use permit standards and building and site design standards applicable to self-storage facility proposals that are designed to ensure that such facilities are in keeping with the community character of the Town of New Lebanon and the surrounding neighborhood; and
5. Make other appropriate changes in the zoning to address the creation of the new Central Commercial zoning district (i.e., flea markets/farmers' markets, small business operations, signage).
   
   The project is located throughout the Town of New Lebanon, New York.
