SECTION I. Queensbury Town Code Chapter 179, "Zoning,"Article 10 entitled "Special
Use Permits" is hereby amended by adding§179-10-015 and §179-10-016 as follows:
§ 179-10-015 Applicability
No person, firm or corporation shall allow, operate, cause to operate or continue a use identified
in this Article as a use requiring a Special Use Permit, unless and until the Planning Board has
approved, with or without conditions, such use and issued a permit or authorized the issuance of
a Special Use Permit for such land use or development pursuant to the terms of this Article and
Article 16, Administration. When a Special Use Permit review is triggered, the Planning Board
is empowered to apply all of the requirements of this chapter to its review of the permit.
Changes in use that increase either the intensity of use or the physical area dedicated to the
operation of the use shall be subject to the requirements of this chapter.
§ 179-10-016 Effective Date
The provisions of this Article shall be effective as of the date of filing with the Secretary of
State.
SECTION 2. Queensbury Town Code Chapter 179, "Zoning,"Article 10 entitled "Special

K. The Planning Board, as a condition of granting any special permit, may specify its
term of validity. There are three (3) types of permits which may be granted by the Planning
Board, described as follows:
1. Permanent - permits a specific use to continue indefinitely until the
specific use ceases for any reason for a period of twelve (12) consecutive
months or the use is modified or expanded. Such modification or
expansion shall require the permit holder to seek a modification of the
Special Use Permit.
2. Temporary - permits a specific use to continue until a specific date, at
which time the special use permit shall automatically terminate and the
use shall be permanently discontinued. This type shall not be extendable.
3. Renewable - permits a specific use to continue until a specific date, unless
renewed or extended by the Planning Board for an additional period of
time. If not extended, the use shall be permanently discontinued. It is the
responsibility of the applicant, and not the Town of Queensbury, or any
Board, officer, or employee thereof, to initiate the request for the renewal
or extension prior to the expiration of the original term of such renewable
special use permit. If not extended or renewed prior to the date set for
expiration, the right to continue such special use shall terminate on such
expiration date, subject to the right of the applicant to seek an extension or
renewal. An application for the extension or renewal of a renewable
special use permit shall be made in accordance with the applicable
provisions then applying to special use permits, as if it was an original
request.
4. Any applicant who receives a temporary or renewable special use permit
and who decides to proceed with the special use, does so realizing that the
temporary special use permit has a fixed duration, and that all rights to
continue that use terminate upon the expiration of the specified time, and
that the renewable special use permit may not be extended beyond its
original term. The applicant, in accepting a temporary or renewable
special use permit, acknowledges and agrees that such special use permit
confers no rights or privileges other than those specifically contained
therein.
SECTION 3. Queensbury Town Code Chapter 179, "Zoning,"Article 10 entitled "Special
Use Permits"is hereby amended by adding§179-10-035 as follows:
§179-10-035 Pre-Existing Non-Conforming Uses.
Substantiated Pre-Existing Non-Conforming Uses shall be exempt from a comprehensive
Planning Board review.
(2)
To substantiate that a use qualifies for this exemption, the property owner shall submit a Site
Plan Review application together with information demonstrating:
1. That the structure(s) associated with the use were constructed according the permitting
procedures which were enforceable by the Town at the time of construction.
2. That the use of the property and associated structures has been continuous, to date,
without interruption, since prior to 1981 for Marinas and prior to 1967 for all other uses.
Consistent seasonal use may qualify as continuous use.
The Planning Board shall, upon finding the substantiating evidence valid, complete and
satisfactory, issue the applicant a Pre-Existing Non-Conforming Special Use Permit. This Special
Use Permit shall be considered a permanent permit and may be modified only upon review and
approval by the Planning Board. This Special Use Permit shall serve to document the existing
status of the project.
SECTION 4. Queensbury Town Code Chapter 179, "Zoning,"Article 10 entitled "Special
Use Permits" is hereby amended by adding language to §179-10-060(A)as follows:
§ 179-10-060 Specific Standards for Special Use Permits
A. Marinas
All marinas shall comply with the standards for Class A and Class B marinas as adopted by the
Lake George Park Commission in 6NYCRR Part 646, as may be amended. Class A marinas are
permitted by special use permit in the WR-1A and WR-3A zones. The Planning Board shall
consider these standards in its special use permit review of any Class A marina. Class B marinas
shall not require a special use permit and do not require the approval of the Town Planning
Board.
All Class A Marinas,as defined by this Article, in operation as of the date of the adoption of this
chapter shall be required to apply for a Special Use Permit on or before January 1,2004. An
existing Class A Marina may qualify for an Administrative Special Use permit per §179-10-035.
SECTION S. Queensbury Town Code Chapter 179, "Zoning," is hereby amended by
revising Table 4 entitled "Summary of Dimensional/Bulk Requirements," to establish setbacks for
the Mixed Use Zone/Main Street as attached and made part of this Local Law.
SECTION 6. The invalidity of any clause, sentence, paragraph or provision of this Local
Law shall not invalidate any other clause, sentence,paragraph or part thereof.
SECTION 7. All Local Laws or ordinances or parts of Local Laws or ordinances in
conflict with any part of this Local Law are hereby repealed.
SECTION 8. This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing in the Office of the
New York Secretary of State as provided in New York Municipal Home Rule Law§27.
