New York Laws
Article 27 - Adirondack Park Agency
807 - Local Land Use Programs.

(2) authority, to the extent otherwise authorized by law, to impose
reasonable requirements and conditions to insure that an approved class
B regional project will be adequately supported by services and
improvements made necessary by such project and to insure that such a
project shall be completed in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the approval.
3. The agency may separately review and approve, disapprove, or
approve subject to conditions, significant components of a local land
use program which relate or pertain to the entire territorial
jurisdiction of a local government, if proposed by the local government
and formally submitted by its legislative body. The agency shall
approve such components if the agency determines that such criteria of
subdivision two of this section as shall be relevant to each such
component are met. Provided, however, that the separately approved
components of a local land use program shall not be deemed an approved
local land use program for the purposes of this section, section eight
hundred eight or section eight hundred nine of this article, unless and
until all of the components of the local land use program shall have

been approved pursuant to the terms of this subdivision or subdivision
four of this section. Each such component shall be reviewed and acted
upon in accordance with the procedures and within the time periods
specified in subdivision one of this section relative to review of local
land use programs.
4. The agency may review and approve, disapprove, or approve subject
to conditions, an industrial site plan review law or ordinance, whether
or not submitted as a component of a local land use program, if proposed
by a local government and formally submitted by its legislative body.
The agency shall approve such law or ordinance if the agency determines
that such criteria of subdivision two of this section as shall be
relevant to industrial uses and to sawmills, chipping mills, pallet
mills and similar wood using facilities are met. Such law or ordinance
shall provide for the review of such uses and facilities pursuant to the
criteria and procedures set forth in paragraph f of subdivision two of
this section. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the
contrary, such law or ordinance shall relate and pertain to not more
than two particular sites totalling one hundred acres or less,
identified by the local government after a comprehensive study of the
entire area within its jurisdiction, as appropriate for industrial uses
and wood using facilities; provided, however, that no such site shall be
located in a resource management area and no such site may be located in
a rural use area remote from existing hamlet areas, or along major
travel corridors where a park atmosphere prevails. Upon approval, or
approval subject to conditions by the agency, and upon valid enactment
or adoption of such law or ordinance, the authority of the agency over
such uses and facilities pursuant to sections eight hundred six and
eight hundred nine of this article shall be vested in the local
government, whether or not such uses are class A regional projects. Such
laws or ordinances shall be reviewed and acted upon in accordance with
the procedures and within the time periods specified in subdivision one
of this section relative to review of local land use programs. Section
eight hundred eight of this article shall govern the administration and
enforcement of such laws or ordinances.
5. The agency may review and approve, disapprove or approve subject to
conditions, a local land use program insofar as it relates or pertains
to one or more land use areas within the territorial jurisdiction of the
local government which in the aggregate is a significant geographical
portion of the territorial jurisdiction of the local government, if
proposed by the local government and formally submitted by its
legislative body. The agency shall approve such program if the agency
determines that all criteria of subdivision two of this section are met
with respect to such geographical portion. If approved, or approved
subject to conditions by the agency, such validly enacted or adopted
program, insofar as it pertains to such geographical portion, shall be
deemed an approved local land use program with respect to such
geographical portion in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
approval, for the purposes of this section, section eight hundred eight
and section eight hundred nine of this article. Provided, that nothing
contained in this subdivision shall supercede or be construed in
derogation of the provisions and requirements of the town law and
village law otherwise applicable to the valid enactment or adoption of
such program. The program, insofar as it pertains to such geographical
portion, shall be reviewed and acted upon in accordance with the
procedures and within the time periods specified in subdivision one of
this section relative to review of local land use programs.
6. The agency shall, in its review of local land use programs, consult
with appropriate public agencies, and shall provide opportunity for the

Adirondack park local government review board and the appropriate county
and regional planning agencies to review and comment on such programs
under review.
7. The agency shall encourage and assist local governments in the
preparation of local land use programs, including the provision of data,
technical assistance and model provisions. Such model provisions shall
be made available by the agency as soon as possible after the effective
date of the adoption of the land use and development plan.
