TOWN OF NEWBURGH

NOTICE OF ADOPTION

            PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on the 27th day of May, 2020, the Town Board of the Town of Newburgh in the County of Orange, State of New York, adopted Local Law No. 2 of 2020 entitled  “A Local Law Amending Chapter 185 Entitled ‘Zoning’ of the Code of the Town of Newburgh to Include the Uses of ‘Nursery School for Pre-School  Children’ and ‘Day Care Center’ as Permitted Principal Uses Subject to Site Plan Review in the B Zoning District.”

            The purposes and effects of the Local Law are to permit nursery schools for pre-school children registered with the New York State Department of Education and Day Care Centers licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services as  principal uses in the Business (B) District subject to site plan review by the Planning Board  and establishes bulk requirements for the new permitted uses. The Local Law will also allow accessory signs with the new uses in the B District and will add a supplemental regulation requiring that nursery schools for pre-school children and day care centers in the B zoning district have areas for the discharge and pick up of passengers from private vehicles on-site, outside of any highway or street right of way.  The proposed adoption of the Local Law was determined by the Lead Agency to be a Type I action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act regulations, the approval of which would not have a significant effect on the environment.
