SEQRA STATUS: Unlisted Action DESCRIPTION OF ACTION:

The proposed action consists of providing for the definition of “Temporary Storage Containers” in the definitions section of the Town Zoning Code, and providing for the regulation of temporary storage containers as set forth more fully therein.

 

DETERMINATION:

 

There will be no significant adverse environmental impact(s) as a result of the proposed action.

 

REASONS SUPPORTING THIS DETERMINATION:

 

The proposed action provides for the definition and regulation of temporary storage containers. The proposed changes are being made to address certain shortcomings in the code with respect to when property owners must obtain permits for the use and storage of such containers on their property.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS DETERMINED NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT:

 

Based on the Short Environmental Assessment Form, prepared by the Town’s Director of the Office of Building, Zoning, Planning and Enforcement, and the Town Board’s familiarity with the parcels and the area in which they are situated, the Town Board has concluded that there will be no significant environmental impacts by the adoption of the zoning change specifically relating to:

 

• Traffic;
• Agricultural Land Resources
• Historic and Archaeological Resources
• Surface or Groundwater Quantity or Quality
• Critical Environmental Areas
• Energy
• Public Health

In summary, after having taken a hard look at the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed action, the Town Board concludes that such action will not result in a significant adverse environmental impact.
