RESOLVED

  1. a moratorium is hereby imposed from June 22, 2018 for a period of four months thereafter on (i) application for, consideration or approval of any demolition permit by the Building Inspector or Planning Board in the General Business District for a structure greater than 120 square feet; and (ii) application for, consideration or approval of any site plan, special use permit, area variance, use variance or building permit for the establishment, expansion or modification of a Motor Vehicle Service Station, including any associated retail facility, in the General Business District. The Planning Board shall not consider any applications for site plan review or special use permit approval for any application enumerated in Section 2(a)(i) or (ii) of this law, including any such application currently pending before the Planning Board, for the term of this moratorium. No building permit or demolition permit shall be issued for any application enumerated in Section 2(a)(i) or (ii) of this law, including any such application currently pending before the Building Inspector, for the term of this moratorium. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not consider any application for an area or use variance for any application enumerated in Section 2(a)(i) or (ii) of this law, including any such application currently pending before the Zoning Board of Appeals, for the term of this moratorium.
Show preamble — 3 WHEREAS clauses
  • WHEREAS, the Village of Red Hook has authorized a Zoning Review Committee ("ZRC") to review the current zoning in the General Business District and to recommend amendments to implement the provisions of the Village's Comprehensive Plan, specifically, Patterns for Downtown, as set forth in the Pattern Book and Architectural Guidelines (the "Pattern Book") which was incorporated into the Village's Comprehensive Plan by resolution dated February 10, 2014 and with the Greenway Compact Program and Guides for Dutchess County Communities (the "Greenway Guides").
  • WHEREAS, this Village Board, in order to consider, formulate and amend its local laws and regulations, in accordance with the Village's Comprehensive Plan, the Greenway Guides and with the ZRC's recommendations, and to reduce the potential adverse effect of the taking of action during the pendency of its planning considerations, adopted a six-month moratorium on December 11, 2017. The moratorium prohibits the following: (i) application for, consideration or approval of any demolition permit by the Building Inspector or Planning Board in the General Business District for a structure greater than 120 square feet; and (ii) application for, consideration or approval of any site plan, special use permit, area variance, use variance or building permit for the establishment, expansion or modification of a Motor Vehicle Service Station in the General Business District. For purposes of the moratorium, the definition of a Motor Vehicle Service Station has been expanded to include associated retail stores.
  • WHEREAS, the ZRC has met four times since the adoption of the moratorium and has proposed zoning amendments to the Village Board. The Village Board needs additional time to consider the zoning amendments and finds that an extension of the moratorium for an additional four months is prudent. This moratorium is necessary and in the public interest of the residents of the Village of Red Hook who otherwise may be adversely affected by changes in use occurring during the pendency of the planning process. The moratorium is a Type II action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act regulations and is not subject to environmental review.
