Summary
The Town of Rockland Board voted unanimously to issue a negative SEQR declaration for its Comprehensive Master Plan, concluding the state environmental review need not proceed to an extended review. The decision was recorded as RESOLUTION #5-2020.
The Town of Rockland Board voted Feb. 6 to adopt a negative declaration under the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process for its Comprehensive Master Plan. The board recorded the action as RESOLUTION #5-2020, approving the SEQR assessment form and finding no significant adverse environmental impacts that would require further environmental review.
The motion to adopt the negative declaration was made by Councilperson JR Devantier and seconded by Councilperson Andrew McRell; the vote was unanimous. Board members were presented with the SEQR assessment during the meeting and approved offering the negative declaration as the next procedural step in finalizing the Comprehensive Master Plan.
