- Ch DL Disposition List
This Local Law shall be referred to as "A Local Law Creating a New Chapter, Chapter 205, to the Code of the Town of Amherst, Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP)."
1-2-1.
This Local Law is adopted under the authority of the Municipal Home
Rule Law and the Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland
Waterways Act of the State of New York (Article 42 of the NYS Executive
Law).
1-2-2.
The purpose of this Local Law is to provide a framework for the Town
of Amherst (Town) to incorporate the policies and purposes contained
in the Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP)
when reviewing applications for actions or direct Town actions located
within the Waterfront Revitalization Area (WRA); and to assure that
such actions and direct actions undertaken by the Town are consistent
with the LWRP policies and purposes.
1-2-3.
It is the intention of the Town that the preservation, enhancement,
and utilization of the unique Waterfront Revitalization Area (WRA)
of the Town occur in a coordinated and comprehensive manner to ensure
a proper balance between protection of natural resources and the need
to accommodate economic growth. Accordingly, this law is intended
to achieve such a balance, permitting the beneficial use of waterfront
resources while preventing degradation or loss of living waterfront
resources and wildlife; diminution of open space areas or public access
to the waterfront; disruption of natural waterfront processes; impairment
of scenic or historical resources; losses due to flooding, erosion,
and sedimentation; impairment of water quality, or permanent adverse
changes to ecological systems.
The substantive provisions of this Local Law shall only apply
while there is in existence a Town of Amherst LWRP that has been adopted
in accordance with Article 42 of the NYS Executive Law.
