SECTION 1.  Legislative Findings, Purpose and Intent.

The Board of Trustees of the Village of Montgomery adopted its 2017 Comprehensive Plan Update on April 7, 2020.  Said Comprehensive Plan Update made 87 short and long-term recommendations across a wide span of areas including, but not limited to, Natural Resource Protection, Downtown Revitalization, Economic Development and Land Use and Planning.  It is, therefore, the purpose of this Local Law to begin the implementation of the 2017 Comprehensive Plan Update.

 Pursuant to the statutory powers vested in the Board of Trustees of the Village of Montgomery to regulate and control land use and to guide and regulate orderly growth, development and redevelopment of the Village, the Village Board adopted Local Law No. 2 of 2020 on June 2, 2020, which became effective as of June 30, 2020, imposing a six month moratorium on all land use applications involving developments in business, industrial and multi-family residential zoning districts in the Village in order to give the Board of Trustees ample time to evaluate and consider changes to the Zoning regulations as recommended by the Comprehensive Plan Update.  This land use moratorium was extended for an additional three-month period by Local Law No.3 of 2020 and for an additional two months by Local law No. 1 of 2021.  It is also pursuant to its statutory powers that the Village hereby enacts this Local Law.
