The Board of Trustees may from time to time on its own motion,
or on petition of taxpayers, or on recommendation of the Planning
Board, after public notice and hearing, amend, supplement, modify
or repeal in whole or in part this chapter or the boundary of any
district established by this chapter by local law.
Any such proposed change in text or zoning district boundary
shall be referred to the Planning Board for a written report and recommendations
prior to public hearing thereon by the Village Board. Failure of the
Planning Board to make such report within 45 days after receiving
notice from the Village Clerk of such proposed change shall be deemed
to be a favorable recommendation. In preparing a report on a proposed
amendment, the Planning Board shall consider:
A. Whether such change is consistent with the objectives and purposes
of the officially adopted Master Plan of the Village, if one exists,
and with those of the district(s) that would be affected; and
B. The effect of the change on existing or heretofore proposed public
facilities and services such as schools, streets, utilities, etc.
