Enact LL Chapter 234 -SPDES
WHEREAS there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York,
on the 9 h day of April, 2024, A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to SPDES Stormwater
Management and Erosion & Sediment Control." and
WHEREAS the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing on the aforesaid Local Law at
which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard, now therefor be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby ENACTS the purposed Local Law entitled,
"A Local Law in relation to SPDES Stormwater Management and Erosion & Sediment Control"reads as
follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2024
L A new Chapter 234 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby adopted as follows:
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to SPDES Stormwater Management and Erosion &
Sediment Control".
IL §234-1 Legislative Intent
A. Findings. The State of New York, pursuant to the Clean Water Act(33 U.S.C. §1251 et
seq.) is authorized to adopt and implement a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (SPDES)permit program regulating the discharge of pollutants from new or
existing outlets or point sources into the waters of the State. The State enacted Article
17, Title 8, of the Environmental Conservation Law requiring a State Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (SPDES)permit prior to the discharge of any pollutants. Under the
Federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations, as
administrated by New York State, municipalities are required to obtain a permit for the
discharge of stormwater. The SPDES permit requires that the Town enact a local law
that complies with federal and New York State guidelines for stormwater control, which
addresses the following findings of fact as determined by the State and accepted by the
Town of Southold:
1. Land development activities and associated increases in site impervious cover
often alter the hydrologic response of local watersheds and increase stormwater
runoff rates and volumes, flooding, stream channel erosion, or sediment transport
and deposition;
2. This stormwater runoff contributes to increased quantities of water-borne
pollutants, including siltation of aquatic habitat for fish and other desirable species;
3. Clearing and grading during construction tends to increase soil erosion and add to
the loss of native vegetation necessary for terrestrial and aquatic habitat;
4. Improper design and construction of stormwater management practices can
increase the velocity of stormwater runoff thereby increasing stream bank erosion
and sedimentation;
5. Impervious surfaces allow less water to percolate into the soil, thereby decreasing
groundwater recharge and stream baseflow;
6. Substantial economic losses can result from these adverse impacts on the waters
of the municipality;
7. Stormwater runoff, soil erosion and nonpoint source pollution can be controlled
and minimized through the regulation of stormwater runoff from land
development activities;
8. The regulation of stormwater runoff discharges from land development activities
in order to control and minimize increases in stormwater runoff rates and
volumes, soil erosion, stream channel erosion, and nonpoint source pollution
associated with stormwater runoff is in the public interest and will minimize
threats to public health and safety.
9. Regulation of land development activities by means of performance standards
governing stormwater management and site design will produce development
compatible with the natural functions of a particular site or an entire watershed
and thereby mitigate the adverse effects of erosion and sedimentation from
development.
B. Purpose. The purpose of this local law is to establish minimum stormwater
management requirements and controls to protect and safeguard the general health,
safety, and welfare of the public residing within this jurisdiction and to address the
findings of fact in Section 1 hereof. This local law seeks to meet those purposes by
achieving the following objectives:
1. Meet the requirements of minimum measures 4 and 5 of the SPDES General
Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer
Systems (MS4s), Permit No. GP-0-24-001 or as amended or revised;
2. Require land development activities to conform to the substantive requirements of
the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation State Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for Construction Activities GP-0-
20-001 or as amended or revised;
3. Minimize increases in stormwater runoff from land development activities in
order to reduce flooding, siltation, increases in stream temperature, and
streambank erosion and maintain the integrity of stream channels;
4. Minimize increases in pollution caused by stormwater runoff from land
development activities which would otherwise degrade local water quality;
5. Minimize the total annual volume of stormwater runoff which flows from any
specific site during and following development to the maximum extent
practicable; and
6. Reduce stormwater runoff rates and volumes, soil erosion and nonpoint source
pollution, wherever possible, through stormwater management practices and to
ensure that these management practices are properly maintained and eliminate
threats to public safety.
C. Statutory Authority. In accordance with Article 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of
the State of New York, the Town of Southold has the authority to enact local laws and
amend local laws and for the purpose of promoting the health, safety or general welfare
of the Town of Southold and for the protection and enhancement of its physical
environment._The Town of Southold may include in any such local law provisions for the
appointment of any municipal officer, employees, or independent contractor to effectuate,
administer and enforce such local law.
D. Applicability. This local law shall be applicable to all land development activities as
defined in this local law.
1. The municipality shall designate a Stormwater Management Officer who shall
accept and review all stormwater pollution prevention plans and forward such
plans to the applicable municipal board. The Stormwater Management Officer
may (1)review the plans, (2) upon approval by the Town Board of the Town of
Southold, engage the services of a registered professional engineer to review the

persons.
B. Suspension due to the detection of illicit discharge. Any person discharging to the
municipality's MS4 in violation of this law may have their MS4 access terminated if such
termination would abate or reduce an illicit discharge. The SMO will notify a violator in
writing of the proposed termination of its MS4 access and the reasons therefor. The
violator may petition the SMO for a reconsideration and hearing. Access may be
granted by the SMO if he/she finds that the illicit discharge has ceased and the discharger
has taken steps to prevent its recurrence. Access may be denied if the SMO determines
in writing that the illicit discharge has not ceased or is likely to recur. A person commits
an offense if the person reinstates MS4 access to premises terminated pursuant to this
section, without the prior approval of the SMO.
235- 9. INDUSTRIAL OR CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY DISCHARGES.
Any person subject to an industrial or construction activity SPDES stormwater discharge permit shall comply
with all provisions of such permit. Proof of compliance with said permit may be required in a form acceptable
to the municipality prior to the allowing of discharges to the MS4.
235- 10. ACCESS AND MONITORING OF DISCHARGES.
A. Applicability. This section applies to all facilities that the SMO must inspect to enforce
any provision of this Law, or whenever the authorized enforcement agency has cause to
believe that there exists, or potentially exists, in or upon any premises any condition
which constitutes a violation of this Law.
B. Access to Facilities.
l. The SMO shall be permitted to enter and inspect facilities subject to regulation
under this law as often as may be necessary to determine compliance with this
Law. If a discharger has security measures in force which require proper
identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the discharger shall
make the necessary arrangements to allow access to the SMO.
2. Facility operators shall allow the SMO ready access to all parts of the premises
for the purposes of inspection, sampling, examination and copying of records as
may be required to implement this law.
3. The municipality shall have the right to set up on any facility subject to this law
such devices as are necessary in the opinion of the SMO to conduct monitoring
and/or sampling of the facility's stormwater discharge.
4. The municipality has the right to require the facilities subject to this law to install
monitoring equipment as is reasonably necessary to determine compliance with
this law. The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment shall be maintained
at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the discharger at its own
expense. All devices used to measure stormwater flow and quality shall be
calibrated to ensure their accuracy.
5. Unreasonable delays in allowing the municipality access to a facility subject to
this law is a violation of this law. A person who is the operator of a facility
subject to this law commits an offense if the person denies the municipality
reasonable access to the facility for the purpose of conducting any activity
authorized or required by this law.
6. If the SMO has been refused access to any part of the premises from which
stormwater is discharged, and he/she is able to demonstrate probable cause to
believe that there may be a violation of this law, or that there is a need to inspect
and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program designed to
verify compliance with this law or any order issued hereunder, then the SMO may
seek issuance of a search warrant from any court of competent jurisdiction.
235- 11. NOTIFICATION OF SPILLS.
Notwithstanding other requirements of law, as soon as any person responsible for a facility or operation, or
responsible for emergency response for a facility or operation has information of any known or suspected
release of materials which are resulting or may result in illegal discharges or pollutants discharging into the
MS4, said person shall take all necessary steps to ensure the discovery, containment, and cleanup of such
release. In the event of such a release of hazardous materials said person shall immediately notify emergency
response agencies of the occurrence via emergency dispatch services. In the event of a release of non-hazardous
materials, said person shall notify the municipality in person or by telephone or facsimile no later than the next
business day. Notifications in person or by telephone shall be confirmed by written notice addressed and mailed
to the municipality within three business days of the telephone notice. If the discharge of prohibited materials
emanates from a commercial or industrial establishment, the owner or operator of such establishment shall also
retain an on-site written record of the discharge and the actions taken to prevent its recurrence. Such records
shall be retained for at least three years.
235- 12. ENFORCEMENT.
A. Notice of Violation.
When the municipality's SMO finds that a person has violated a prohibition or failed to
meet a requirement of this law, he/she may order compliance by written notice of
violation to the responsible person. Such notice may require without limitation:
1. The elimination of illicit connections or discharges;
2. That violating discharges, practices, or operations shall cease and desist;
3. The abatement or remediation of stormwater pollution or contamination hazards
and the restoration of any affected property;
4. The performance of monitoring, analyses, and reporting;
5. Payment of a fine; and
6. The implementation of source control or treatment BMPs. If abatement of a
violation and/or restoration of affected property is required, the notice shall set
forth a deadline within which such remediation or restoration must be completed.
Said notice shall further advise that, should the violator fail to remediate or
restore within the established deadline, the work will be done by a designated
governmental agency or a contractor and the expense thereof shall be charged to
the violator.
B. Penalties
In addition to or as an alternative to any penalty provided herein or by law, any person
who violates the provisions of this local law shall be guilty of a violation punishable by a
fine not exceeding One Thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or imprisonment for a period not to
exceed six (6) months, or both for conviction of a first offense; for conviction of a second
offense both of which were committed within a period of five (5)years, punishable by a
fine not less than Two Thousand Five Hundred dollars ($2,500.00)nor more than Seven
Thousand Five Hundred dollars ($7,500.00) or imprisonment for a period not to exceed
six (6) months, or both; and upon conviction for a third or subsequent offense all of
which were committed within a period of five (5)years, punishable by a fine not less than
Ten Thousand dollars ($10,000.00)nor more than Twenty Thousand dollars ($20,000.00)
or imprisonment for a period not to exceed six (6) months, or both.
However, for the purposes of conferring jurisdiction upon courts and judicial officers
generally, violations of this local law shall be deemed misdemeanors and for such
purpose only all provisions of law relating to misdemeanors shall apply to such
violations each week's continued violation shall constitute a separate additional violation.
235-13. APPEAL OF NOTICE OF VIOLATION.
Any person receiving a Notice of Violation may appeal the determination of the SMO to the Town of Southold
within fifteen (15) days of its issuance, which shall hear the appeal within thirty (30) days after the filing of the
appeal, and within five (5) days of making its decision, file its decision in the office of the municipal clerk and
mail a copy of its decision by certified mail to the discharger.
235-14. CORRECTIVE MEASURES AFTER APPEAL.
A. If the violation has not been corrected pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Notice
of Violation, or, in the event of an appeal, within five (5)business days of the decision of
the municipal authority upholding the decision of the SMO, then the SMO shall request
the owner's permission for access to the subject private property to take any and all
measures reasonably necessary to abate the violation and/or restore the property.
B. If refused access to the subject private property, the SMO may seek a warrant in a court
of competent jurisdiction to be authorized to enter upon the property to determine
whether a violation has occurred. Upon determination that a violation has occurred, the
SMO may seek a court order to take any and all measures reasonably necessary to abate
the violation and/or restore the property. The cost of implementing and maintaining such
measures shall be the sole responsibility of the discharger.
235 15. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.
It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any provision or fail to comply with any of the
requirements of this law. If a person has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this law, the SMO
may petition for a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the person from activities which would create
further violations or compelling the person to perform abatement or remediation of the violation.
235-16. ALTERNATIVE REMEDIES.
A. Where a person has violated a provision of this Law, he/she may be eligible for alternative remedies
in lieu of a civil penalty, upon recommendation of the Municipal
Attorney and concurrence of the Municipal Code Enforcement Officer, where:
l. The violation was unintentional
2. The violator has no history of pervious violations of this Law.
3. Environmental damage was minimal.

violation of any of the provisions of this law is a threat to public health, safety, and welfare, and is declared and
deemed a nuisance, and may be summarily abated or restored at the violator's expense, and/or a civil action to
abate, enjoin, or otherwise compel the cessation of such nuisance may be taken.
235-18. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE.
The remedies listed in this law are not exclusive of any other remedies available under any applicable federal,
state or local law and it is within the discretion of the authorized enforcement agency to seek cumulative
remedies.
III. SEVERABILITY.
The provisions of this law are hereby declared to be severable. If any provision, clause, sentence, or paragraph
of this law or the application thereof to any person, establishment, or circumstances shall be held invalid, such
invalidity shall not affect the other provisions or application of this law.
IV. EFFECTIVE DATE

NATURAL DRAINAGE
The stormwater runoff patterns resulting from topographical and geological surface conditions, prior to
clearing, regrading or construction.
NATURAL PROTECTIVE FEATURE
A nearshore area, beach, bluff, dune or wetland and the vegetation thereon.
NATURAL WATERCOURSE
The route formed by natural processes, topography and geology leading to a natural watershed.
NATURAL WATERSHED
An area of land which, in its natural state and prior to any man-made change, and due to its topography and

years (i.e., that has a one-percent chance of occurring each year), as said level is shown on the Federal
Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Maps on file in the Southold Town Building
Department.
PERVIOUS SURFACE
A pervious surface is one that has the ability to be readily penetrated by stormwater or other runoff. Pervious
pavement mixtures contain little or no fine particles creating a substantial void content while still maintaining
its structure integrity. Aggregate materials typically consist of No. 1 or No. 2 rounded "rocklike" fragments
using sufficient approved cementitious materials, paste or bonding agents to permanently fasten aggregate
particles together to create a system of highly permeable, interconnected voids that freely drain. Typically,
between 15% and 25% of interconnected voids are required for consideration as a pervious pavement. The flow
rate of water through pervious surfaces is typically around five gallons per square foot per minute or higher.
PHASING
Clearing a parcel of land in distinct pieces or parts, with the stabilization of each piece completed before the
clearing of the next.

236-13. Performance Standards for Approval of a Stormwater Management Control Plan.
A. The site erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff control measures shall be
appropriate for existing topo2raphy, vegetation and other salient natural features of
the site. The plan shall indicate that the development will preserve natural features,
minimize 2radin2 and cut and fill operations, ensure conformity with natural
topo2raphy, and retain natural vegetation and trees to the maximum extent
practicable in order to create the least erosion potential and handle adequately the
volume and rate or velocity, of surface water runoff.
B. Site 2radin2, excavation and filling shall minimize destruction of natural vegetation,
the potential for erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff and the threat to the
health, safety and welfare of nei2hborin2 property owners and the general public.
C. Erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff shall be controlled prior to, during,
and after site preparation and construction. During 2radin2 operations, appropriate
measures for dust control shall be undertaken.
D. Areas exposed by site preparation shall be protected during site construction with
hay bales, temporary vegetation and/or mulching to meet the requirements of the
approved Stormwater Management Control Plan in effect.
E. Natural drainage patterns shall be protected and incorporated into site design.
Where natural drainage patterns are demonstrated to be adversely affecting a
beach or wetland, drainage patterns may be altered in a manner which reduces the
threat to such beach or wetland and does not create other flooding or erosion problems.
F. Site preparation,including stripping of vegetative cover and 2radin2, shall be
undertaken so that no individual building site is stripped of its vegetation cover
more than thirty (30) days prior to commencement of construction. Soils exposed or
disturbed by site preparation shall remain so for the shortest practical period of
time during site clearing, construction and restoration.
G. Disturbed soils shall be stabilized and reve2etated or seeded as soon as practicable.
During the interim, erosion protection measures such as temporary vegetation,
retention ponds, recharge basins,bermin2, silt traps and mulching shall be used to
ensure that sedimentation is minimized and mitigated.
H. In no case shall stormwater be diverted to another property either during site
preparation or after development. In appropriate cases, with the approval of the
Superintendent of Hi2hways, drainage control measures may be implemented in the
right of way attendant to an adiacent Town hi2hway, at the applicant's expense.
L During the construction period, disposal of stormwater runoff generated by
development activity shall be handled on-site. Baling, mulching, debris basins, silt
traps, use of fibrous cover materials or similar measures shall be used to contain soil
erosion on the site.
J. All proiects, regardless of the area of groundwater removal and/or 2radin2, shall
retain a natural vegetative buffer zone alone waterbodies, including wetlands and
marshes, if one is imposed by the Board of Trustees. If necessary, other forms of
erosion control measures will also be included.
K Natural land features such as shallow depressions shall be used,wherever possible,
to collect stormwater on-site for recharge.
L. Site designs shall minimize impermeable paving.
M. Stormwater runoff shall not be directly discharged to surface waters, marshes and
wetlands. Stormwater pollutants shall not be discharged directly into a wetland,but
shall be attenuated by using holding ponds, sedimentation basins, perimeter
bermin2, vegetated buffer areas and other measures that reduce flow velocity and
increase storage time. Pollutants shall not be discharged into wetlands. In addition,
any filtering devices constructed as part of the drainage system must be adequately
maintained in order to function properly.
N. All wetland vegetation shall be maintained. Dredtin2 and site construction should
not disturb wetlands either by direct removal of vegetation or substrate, or by the
alteration of adjacent slopes that would undermine the stability of the substrate
unless permission is obtained from the Board of Trustees. Grading equipment shall
not be allowed to enter into or cross any watercourse or wetland.
O. Subsurface sediments shall be maintained to provide structural support for the soils
of the wetlands.
P. The elevation of a wetland shall not be altered.
Q. No vegetation required by any a2ency as a buffer to a natural protective feature
shall be disturbed by 2radin2, erosion, sedimentation, or direct removal of
vegetation.
R. Fill shall not encroach on natural watercourses, constructed channels,wetlands, or
floodway areas. All fill shall be compacted at a final angle of repose which provides
stability for the material, minimizes erosion and prevents settlement.
S. Trails and walking paths alone waterbodies shall be sited and constructed so they
are not a source of sediment subiect to the approval of the Board of Trustees.
T. The amount and velocity of runoff from a site after development shall approximate
its predevelopment characteristics. However, if the site is adiacent to coastal waters,
storm water shall be contained on-site, to the maximum extent practicable, to
prevent direct discharge of runoff to coastal waters.
U. Natural flood plains and maior drainage swales shall not be altered or disturbed in
a manner which decreases their ability to accommodate and channel stormwater
runoff and flood waters. If no practicable alternative to the location of development,
roadway, driveways, and similar surfaces within these areas exists, such facilities
shall be sited and constructed to minimize and mitigate the amount and velocity of
stormwater entering the channel, floodplain or swale and to approximate the
original functions of the undisturbed condition.
V. No land having a slope equal to or treater than twenty (20) percent shall be
developed or disturbed except for conservation measures or measures intended to
remove debris which inhibits the functioning of the swale, except accessways to
shorelines approved by the Board of Trustees shall be permitted. Natural vegetation
and topography shall be retained to stabilize soils and reduce the volume of
stormwater overflow.
W. On lands having slopes of less than twenty(20) percent, but composed of highly
erodible soils, development proposals shall include consideration of the load-bearing
capacity of the soils. Unless it can be demonstrated that the soils can be stabilized
with a minimum of on-site disturbance and no adverse impacts to the stability of
nei2hborin2 properties, the development proposal shall not be approved as
submitted.
X. All permanent(final)vegetation and mechanical erosion control measures called for
in approved plans shall be installed within the time limits specified by the Building
Inspector, and no later than the expiration of the municipal permit issued therewith.

236-15. Inspection, Restoration, Certificate of Occupancy and Fines.
A. Inspection
Inspection for soil erosion, sedimentation, and runoff control plan compliance shall
be conducted by the Building Inspector to determine that the work has been
completed in accordance with such plan. The plan may be modified by mutual
agreement if, during or after installation, the Building Inspector deems that the
installed measures are not adequate to meet the performance standards or if
alternatives would better meet the Code requirements. If no agreement is reached,
the Building Inspector may require the submission of a modified plan in order to
maintain compliance with this local law.
B. Restoration.
Any clearing, excavation or development of land in violation of this local law shall
be corrected forthwith after written notice by the Building Inspector. In the event
that corrective action is not taken as directed within a reasonable time, the Town
may, at its own expense, take corrective action to restore the property or initiate
legal action to prevent unlawful or unauthorized activity. The cost of restoration
shall become a lien upon the property upon which such unlawful activity occurred.
C Certificate of Occupancy.
No certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Building Inspector until all work
required to be completed pursuant to the plan has been satisfactorily done.
D Fines.
Any responsible party undertaking clearing, excavation or development of land in
violation of this local law, or falsifying information in connection with the
requirements of this Local Law, upon conviction, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine of not less than five hundred dollars ($500) and not more than
two thousand dollars ($2,000). Such person shall be deemed guilty of a separate
offense for each day during which a violation of this local law is committed or
continues.
E. Enforcement.
The Director of Code Enforcement and/or the Building Inspector are responsible
for enforcement of the provisions of this Chapter, and have the authority to issue
violations of this Chapter. The Town Attorney shall be responsible for prosecution
of any such violations. In addition to the above-provided fines, the Town Board
may authorize an action or proceeding in the name of the Town in a court of
competent jurisdiction to compel compliance with or to restrain by injunction the
violation of this Chapter.

Suspension on the Review,Approval and/or Issuance of all Permits for or Relating to New Development of
Resorts, Hotels or Motels", and

LOCAL LAW NO. 2024
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law to Impose an Interim or Temporary Suspension on the Review,Approval
and/or Issuance of all Permits for or Relating to New Development of Resorts, Hotels or Motels".
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold, as follows:
SECTION 1. TITLE.
This local law shall be known as and may be cited as the "Interim Development Law for New
Construction of Resorts, Hotels or Motels in the Town of Southold."
SECTION 2. AUTHORITY.
This local law is enacted pursuant to the Town of Southold's authority to enact local laws under the New
York State Constitution,Article IX, and the Laws of the State of New York, including but not limited to Section
10 of the Statue of Local Governments, granting towns the power to adopt, amend and repeal zoning regulations
in the exercise of its functions,powers and duties.
SECTION 3. PURPOSE AND INTENT.
PURPOSE: Moratorium
This local law is hereby enacted to preserve the status quo in the Town of Southold on a temporary basis
while the Town conducts studies to review and consider amendments to those parts of the Town of Southold's
zoning legislation and comprehensive plan pertaining to hotels, motels and resorts. Southold Town is in the
midst of a complete zoning update being performed under the charge of the Planning Department by ZoneCo,
an independent zoning consultant. This action will include a thorough review of the zoning classifications most
appropriate for such use; a review of the environmental constraints to such development; a cumulative analysis
of the recent and significant hotel developments throughout the town; an evaluation of necessary conditions and
restrictions for such use; an analysis of the potential hotel/motel/resort build-out under the code and its
conformity with the underlying Southold Town Comprehensive Plan and an analysis of the permissible density
of hotel/motel/resort rooms per acre, hamlet and area. For this purpose, the Town of Southold will gather
information, make recommendations, and further review the Town's plan for new resorts, hotels or motels in the
Town. This zoning update is intended to lead to a deliberative creation and adoption of necessary amendments
to the Town's zoning legislation, comprehensive plan, and other applicable Town laws.
INTENT.
The Town Board finds and determines that the Town is under considerable pressure for the development
of new resorts, hotels and motels. The Town is an attractive location for new resorts, hotels and motels, because
of the variety of community attractions located within and close to the Town. Over the past several years the
Town has had five new hotels proposed. One is currently under construction, one is at the beginning of the site
plan process, and three are in the concept phase. There are two expansions at the beginning of the site plan
process - one for an increase in the number of rooms, and one for an addition of a restaurant.
The Town Board further finds and determines that unless reasonable interim measures are implemented,
significant new resort, hotel and/or motel development is likely to occur, and that development may undermine
the implementation of appropriate planning measures needed to protect the public interest and welfare and goals
of the Town. It is the intent of the Town Board to protect public health, safety and general welfare by enacting
this local law for a reasonable period. The Town is undertaking a comprehensive study to develop solutions and
to implement necessary amendments to the land use and zoning regulations to accomplish such goals.
It is the further intention of the Town Board to protect the public interest by preventing a race of
diligence between property owners, developers and the Town which could prejudice the integrity and objectives
of the proposed changes or result in a land use pattern that might be inconsistent with the intent of the
recommendations of the Town resulting from such study. The Town's existing procedures and laws should have
the practical effect of ensuring that new development and redevelopment are in accordance with the Town's
planning objectives. The practical reality, however, is that some of the land use regulations and procedures may
not have this effect. The Town Board finds it necessary to impose a moratorium on accepting,processing and
granting approvals or permits for new development of resorts, hotels and motels, as hereafter provided. An
integrated strategy that takes into account the Town's available resources and its environmental constraints is
needed. This moratorium will enable the Town to focus on crafting and implementing a strategy that achieves its
planning objectives.
The Town's comprehensive zoning update project is well underway. The timeline for this project has
been reaffirmed as being completed by March 29, 2025. The review of resorts, hotels and motels will be
included in this project. This is the rationale for the 12-month moratorium.
SECTION 4. SCOPE OF THE REGULATIONS.
During the effective period of this law, neither the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Town
Board, Town Building Department, Board of Trustees or any member, employee, agent or independent
contractor of any of the foregoing Town bodies, shall accept for filing, accept for review, continue review, hold
a hearing, make any decision upon, or otherwise consider, any application for, or relating to, the new
development or redevelopment of any property,parcel of land, building, or anything else, for the new
construction of a resort, hotel or motel, as defined in the Town Code, including but not limited to documents
relating to:
1. concept,preliminary or final approval of a subdivision plat,
2. site plan approvals,
3. special use permits,
4. conditional use permits,
5. use or area variances,
6. changes in zoning districts,
7. permanent or temporary certificates of occupancy, or
8. special exception relief
regardless of the fact that an application has been submitted prior to the effective date of this local law. The
statutory and locally enacted time periods for processing and making decisions on all aspects of the foregoing
are suspended and stayed while this local law is in effect.
SECTION 5. EXCLUSIONS.
Any application by a municipal corporation or special district or fire district.
Existing, permitted hotels, motels and resorts requesting relief and/or permits for additions, modifications or
alterations, or relief for accessory structures and/or uses.
New development resorts, motels or hotels that have received final site plan approval as of the date of the
adoption of this Local Law.
SECTION 6. VARIANCE FROM THIS MORATORIUM.
Any person or entity suffering unnecessary hardship as that term is used and construed in Town Law
section 267-b (2)(b), by reason of the enactment and continuance of this moratorium may apply to the Town
Board for a variance excepting the proposed development and/use from the temporary moratorium and allowing
issuance of a permit all in accordance with the provisions of the Southold Town Code.
SECTION 7. CONFLICT WITH STATE STATUTES AND AUTHORITY TO SUPERSEDE.
To the extent that any provisions of this local law are in conflict with or are construed as inconsistent
with provisions of New York State Town Law, this local law supersedes, amends and takes precedence over
New York State Town Law pursuant to the Town's municipal home rule powers, pursuant to Municipal Home
Rule Law § 10 and § 22, to supersede any inconsistent authority.
SECTION 8. SEVERABILITY.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this Local Law shall be adjudicated by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Local
Law.
SECTION 9. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION.
This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State. Until twelve (12)
months from the effective date of this Local law, after which this Local law shall lapse and be without further
force and effect and subject to any other Local Law adopted by the Town Board during the twelve (12) month
period.
