Article 42 - Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways
922 - Comprehensive Harbor Management Plans.

(b) Where no local waterfront revitalization program and harbor
management plan exists which has been cooperatively prepared by all of
the municipalities which border the shores of such a lake, no local law
or ordinance adopted by one such municipality pursuant to a harbor
management plan shall be approved without a finding by the secretary of
state that the local law or ordinance is consistent as well with the
management of the lake by, and interests of, the lake residents and its
municipalities as a whole.
(c) Where an organization or entity has been created by statute to
provide lakewide planning or regulation, such local laws or ordinances
shall be consistent with the plans developed by such organization or
entity pursuant to the procedures required in such statute.
4. No provision of this chapter shall be deemed to diminish the
authority of any city, town or village pertaining to the regulation of
harbors, surface waters and underwater lands granted by any other law,
charter, patent or other instrument. Nor shall it be read to authorize
local harbor management plans displacing conforming water-dependent
businesses in existence on the effective date of this section.
5. Any conveyances of interests pursuant to subdivision seven of
section seventy-five of the public lands law and any permits issued
pursuant to subdivision one of section 15-0503 of the environmental
conservation law shall be consistent, insofar as possible, with approved
comprehensive harbor management plans adopted pursuant to this section.
