Italy Board issues SEQRA Negative Declaration for short‑term rental rules, sets April 14 public hearing
Summary
After completing the Full Environmental Assessment Form, the Italy Town Board issued a Negative Declaration for proposed Short‑term Rental Facility Regulations, referred the local law to the Yates County Planning Board under GML §239‑m, and scheduled a public hearing for April 14, 2026. The resolution passed 4–1.
The Town Board completed Parts 2 and 3 of the Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF) for a proposed Short‑term Rental Facility Regulations Local Law and issued a Negative Declaration on Feb. 10, 2026.
Councilmember Nick Baranowski moved to adopt Part 3 of the FEAF and refer the proposed local law to the Yates County Planning Board under General Municipal Law §239‑m; the motion passed on Resolution No. 02‑2026 with four ayes (Richard Craig, Nick Baranowski, John Sigmon, Malcolm MacKenzie) and one no (Brent Walton). The board directed the Town Supervisor and counsel to file Part 3 with the Environmental Notice Bulletin and scheduled a public hearing on the proposed local law for April 14, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
Earlier in the meeting the board had designated itself as Lead Agency for SEQRA on Resolution No. 01‑2026 and completed the earlier procedural steps necessary to conclude the environmental review. The public will have the opportunity to comment at the April hearing; the board's Part 3 filing begins the notice and referral process required by state law.
