Board hears about DEC SEQR form changes and schedules comp‑plan public hearing
Summary
Planning staff outlined DEC's updated SEQR short form questions and training was offered; the board also confirmed a public hearing on the comprehensive plan for Aug. 17 at 6 p.m.
Planning staff told the board that the New York DEC has updated its short environmental assessment form and expanded some Type II exemptions for multifamily housing, and that an interactive map now identifies disadvantaged communities with potential additional exemptions. A county representative offered to hold a two‑hour joint training session for the planning and zoning boards to review the changes and application implications.
"The new SEQR form is available online," staff said, and members agreed training would be useful given recent board turnover. Separately, the board confirmed that the first public hearing on the town comprehensive plan will be Monday the 17th at 6 p.m.; members noted there is not a requirement to register to speak, though time limits could be imposed if the hearing is crowded.
