Lysander planning board recommends Town Board deny rezoning request until a development plan is provided
Summary
The Planning Board unanimously recommended that the Town Board not approve a proposed rezoning of property on Oswego/Lamson Roads from Agricultural to General Business because no specific development plan was submitted to justify the change.
At its June 11 meeting the Town of Lysander Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend that the Town Board not approve a requested zoning change for land at Oswego and Lamson Roads from Agricultural to General Business until a specific development plan is presented.
Board members noted there was no formal proposal for the parcel under review; possible uses had been discussed informally but no application or development plan was submitted. Chairman John Corey stated zoning changes should be tied to a clearly identified development plan or a town planning objective, warning that changing zoning without a defined purpose could permit uses inconsistent with long‑term planning goals.
The Planning Board voted 4–0 to advise the Town Board against approving the rezoning request at this time and to request a development plan before any zone change is considered.
Next steps: The Planning Board’s formal recommendation will be forwarded to the Town Board for its June review; the board requested that zoning changes be justified by an identified plan or town objective before approval.
