Notice of Public Hearing - 12/9/2020
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the TOWN BOARD of the Town of East Greenbush will hold a public hearing on December 9, 2020 beginning at 6:00 P.M. to consider the following matter(s):
The Town Board will receive comment on a proposed local law amending section 2.7.3(B) of the Comprehensive Zoning Law, to provide that religious facilities will be a permitted use within the commercial business district (B-2).
Section 2.7.3(B) sets forth the permitted uses in the B-2 zone. Those permitted uses do not include religious facilities such as churches, synagogues, mosques and other religious facilities. The local law would amend that section of the zoning law to make such facilities a permitted use within that zone. The local law also amends a chart within the zoning law setting forth permitted uses in the various zones in the Town of East Greenbush, to reflect that religious facilities would now be a permitted use in the B-2 zone.
A copy of the local law may be inspected at the Office of the Town Clerk during regular business hours. A copy of the proposed local law is also available here: Proposed Local Law Zoning Change and the B-2 Zoning Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1
