A local law of the Village of Johnson City,
hereinafter referred to as "village," is hereby adopted pursuant to
Article 8 of the New York Environmental Conservation Law providing
for environmental quality review of actions which may have a significant
effect upon the environment.
This chapter shall be known and may be cited
as the "Village of Johnson City Environmental Quality Review Law."
A.
The purpose of the Village Environmental Quality Review
Law is to incorporate the consideration of environmental factors into
the planning and decisionmaking processes of the village. In adopting
the Village Environmental Quality Review Law, it is the intent of
the village that all agencies operating within its jurisdiction conduct
their affairs with an awareness that they are the stewards of air,
water, land and living resources and that they have an obligation
to protect the environment for the use and enjoyment of this and all
future generations.
B.
It is the intent of this chapter that the protection
and enhancement of the environment and human and community resources
should be given appropriate weight with social and economic considerations
in public policy and that those factors be considered together in
reaching decisions on proposed activities. It is the intention of
the village that through implementation of this chapter a suitable
balance of social, economic and environmental factors be incorporated
into the decisionmaking processes of the village. It is not the intention
of the Village Environmental Quality Review Law that environmental
factors be the sole consideration in decisionmaking.
