Cortland board approves zoning text amendment allowing outdoor storage in C‑2 districts
Summary
The Town of Cortland approved an ordinance clarifying the definition of “Outdoor Storage” and permitting the use in C‑2 commercial zones after staff said current code lacked an appropriate definition. The measure passed 5–1 on April 13, 2026.
The Town of Cortland Board of Trustees approved an amendment to Title 9 of the municipal code to clarify the definition of “Outdoor Storage” and allow that use in all C‑2 commercial zoning districts. The vote on the ordinance carried 5–1, with Trustee Corson opposed.
Town Engineer Brandy Williams told trustees she had advised the applicant to file the text amendment because the existing code “did not have an appropriate definition for them to operate their business under in the C2 Zoning definition.” Williams added, “The proposed changes more clearly define the use 'Outdoor Storage.'” Trustee discussion focused on how the new definition would be applied in practice. The ordinance was recorded as Ord. 2026-04.
