Pursuant to the provisions of § 44-0119
of the Environmental Conservation Law of the State of New York, the
Town of New Castle hereby adopts the statement of policies, principles
and guides detailed in "The Greenprint for a Sustainable Future...
the Westchester Way," the Westchester County Greenway Compact Plan
(hereinafter referred to in this chapter as the "Compact Plan"), by
which the Town of New Castle becomes a participating community in
the Greenway Compact.
Proposals to amend the Compact Plan may from
time to time be made by the Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities
Council (hereinafter referred to as "Greenway Council") in response
to requests from participating communities. Within 90 days of receipt
of any such proposal from the Greenway Council, the Town Board of
the Town of New Castle shall determine by resolution whether to accept
or to reject such proposed amendment. Any proposed amendment so accepted
shall be considered an amendment of the Compact Plan as adopted by
the Town of New Castle. Any proposed amendment rejected by the Town
of New Castle will not be considered to be an amendment of the Greenway
Plan for the Town of New Castle, and notice of such rejection shall
promptly be provided to the Greenway Council.
It is stated policy of the Town of New Castle
that, to the extent the Town amends its current, or enacts new, land
use laws and regulations, such new or amended laws and regulations,
where appropriate, should take into consideration the Compact Plan's
statement of policies, principles and guides, as appropriate.
Nothing in this chapter adopting the Compact
Plan, or in becoming a participating community in the Compact Plan
is intended, or shall be construed to limit the home rule authority
of the Town under state law to make local land use and zoning decisions,
to authorize any other entity to supersede the Town's land use
laws and regulations or to impose any requirements of the Town, or
to prevent the Town in its sole discretion from adopting a local law
at a later date for the purpose of withdrawing from the Greenway Compact
or Westchester County Greenway Compact Plan.
