The intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Celoron
is to implement a local law in regards to duties of the Planning Board
of the Village of Celoron.
[Amended 12-9-2013 by L.L. No. 4-2013]
In any Village in which there is a Planning Commission created
prior to September 1, 1974 under Article 12-a of the General Municipal
Law, the Board of Trustees, instead of establishing a Planning Board
under Article 7 of the Village Law, may provide that the existing
commission shall continue, the members thereof thereafter to be appointed
accordance with the provisions of such Article 12-a, and to have the
powers and duties as therein specified in addition to the powers and
duties as specified for a Planning Board established under Article
7 of the Village Law; provided, however, that in any such Village
section 238 of the General Municipal Law shall not be in force. Any
such Planning Commission created after September 1, 1974, shall be
deemed a Planning Board under Article 7 of the Village Law and shall
have the powers and duties specified in Article 12-a of the General
Municipal Law in addition to the powers and duties specified for a
Planning Board established under Article 7 of the Village Law and
the members thereof shall be appointed by the Mayor as provided in
Village Law § 7-718.
[Amended 12-9-2013 by L.L. No. 4-2013]
The Mayor, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees,
shall designate a member of said Planning Board to act as Chairman
thereof; or on failure so to do, the Planning Board shall elect a
Chairman from its own members. It shall have the power and authority
to employ experts, clerk and a secretary, and to pay for their services
and such other expenses as may be necessary and proper, not exceeding
in all the appropriation that may be made for such Planning Board.
The Board of Trustees is hereby authorized and empowered to make such
appropriations as it may see fit for such expenses. The Planning Board
may adopt rules and regulations in respect to procedures before it
and in respect to any subject matter over which it has jurisdiction
under this chapter or any other statute, after public hearing by the
Planning Board and subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Planning Board shall have full power and authority to make
such investigations, maps and reports and recommendations in connection
therewith relating to the planning and development of the Village
as to it seems desirable providing the total expenditures of said
Board shall not exceed the appropriation for its expenses.
[Amended 12-9-2013 by L.L. No. 4-2013]
A. The Planning Board may prepare and change a Comprehensive Plan for
the development of the entire area of the Village, which Comprehensive
Plan shall show desirable streets, bridges, and tunnels and the approaches
thereto, viaducts, parks, public reservations, roadways in parks,
sites for public buildings and structures, zoning districts, pierhead
and bulkhead lines, waterways and routes of public utilities and such
other features existing and proposed as will provide for the improvement
of the Village and its future growth, protection and development and
will afford adequate facilities for public housing, transportation,
distribution, comfort, convenience, public health, safety and general
welfare of its population. Such Planning Board may advertise and hold
public hearings when it desires. The Village Board of Trustees may
adopt by resolution the Comprehensive Plan or any amendment thereto.
B. The Comprehensive Plan and all modifications thereof shall be on
file in the office of the Planning Board, and the Planning Board shall
file certified copies in the offices of the Village Engineer and the
Village Clerk.
