Town of Union adopts local law setting rules for electric vehicle charging stations
Summary
The Town of Union Board approved a SEQR negative declaration and adopted a new zoning provision (Section 300-40.22) establishing standards for electric vehicle charging stations after noting a prior public hearing remained open for comment.
The Town of Union Board on Sept. 3 adopted a local zoning law establishing rules for electric vehicle charging stations and approved a SEQR negative declaration authorizing Supervisor Robert Mack to execute Part 3 of the SEQR EAF forms.
The action, presented by Environmental/Laws & Legislation Committee Chair Joseph P. Nirchi Sr., followed the board’s review of Part 1 and Part 2 of the SEQR environmental assessment forms. Nirchi moved the SEQR negative declaration and the motion was seconded by Thomas R. Augostini; both the SEQR declaration and the adopting resolution for Zoning Chapter 300, Part 4 Article 40 Section 300-40.22 passed unanimously.
The board noted that the public hearing on the proposed local law had been left open from July 9, 2025 to solicit comment. A resident identified as John (Rhodes Road) asked whether the materials were available on the Town website; Supervisor Mack said the town would provide him a copy. The minutes show the board completed the SEQR review and adopted the local law at this meeting; the resolution and the prepared forms are filed with the meeting minutes.
The adopted provision is recorded in the minutes as Zoning Chapter 300, Part 4 Specific Use Requirements, Article 40 Supplementary Use Requirements, Section 300-40.22 — Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. The minutes do not specify an effective date for the local law. The board did not record any amendments to the text at this meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: execution of the SEQR Part 3 form by the Supervisor and filing of the prepared resolution and local law with the town records. The minutes do not list any contested votes or dissenting comments on the adoption.
