This publication, part of the Department of State's "James A.
Coon
Local
Government
Technical
Series,"
is
designed
to help
municipal
officials
and
attorneys
make
more
efficient
use of
planning
and
zoning
laws.
The
guide
provides
the text
of each
pertinent
section
of law
with
notations
in the
margin
to
assist
referencing.
Notes at
the end
of
certain
sections
reference
other
related
statues
and list
Department
publications,
if any.
To
ensure
optimal
use of
this
guide,
readers
should
know:
Although
each
section
of law
is
printed
verbatim,
marginal
notations
are not
part of
the
statutes.
They
have
been
added to
highlight
key
points
only.
More
than one
set of
statues
may
apply to
a
municipal
action.
For
example,
provisions
of the
Town Law
naturally
govern
towns,
but
important
provisions
affecting
town
planning
and
zoning
laws
also
appear
in the
General
Municipal
Law, the
Public
Health
Law and
others.
Therefore,
all
applicable
statues
should
be
consulted.
This booklet
contains
the text
of the
statues
through
the 2006
legislative
session.
It
replaces
ALL
previous
versions.
Readers are
encouraged
to use
the
publication
to
request
additional
publications,
or to
download
the
publications
from the
Department
of State
