Pursuant to the provisions of § 44-0119 of the Environmental
Conservation Law of the State of New York, the Village of Croton-on-Hudson
hereby adopts the statement of policies, principles and guides detailed in
the four compendiums titled, Tourism and Economic Development Plan (April
1997), Hudson River Waterfront Present and Future (June 1998), Building Livable
Downtowns (June 1999) and Growing Smarter Together (September 2000), and Patterns
for Westchester: The Land and the People, which together comprise the Westchester
County Greenway Compact Plan (hereinafter referred to as "Greenway Compact
Plan"), by which the Village of Croton-on-Hudson becomes a participating community
in the Greenway Compact.
Proposals to amend the Greenway 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 Village Board of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson 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 Greenway
Compact Plan as adopted by the Village of Croton-on-Hudson. Any proposed amendment
rejected by the Village Board will not be considered to be an amendment of
the Greenway Plan for the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, and notice of such
rejection shall promptly be provided to the Greenway Council.
It is stated policy of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson that, to the
extent the Village amends its current, or enacts new, land use laws and regulations,
such new or amended laws and regulations, where appropriate, should be designed
to be consistent with the Greenway Compact Plan.
Nothing in this chapter adopting the Compact Plan, or in becoming a
participating community in the Compact Pan, is intended, or shall be construed:
A.
To limit the home rule authority of the Village under
state law to make local land use and zoning decisions;
B.
To authorize any other entity to supersede the Village's
land use laws and regulations and to impose any requirements on the Village;
or
C.
To prevent the Village in its sole discretion from adopting
a local law at a later date for the purpose of withdrawing from the Greenway
Compact of Westchester County Greenway Compact Plan.
