NOTICE OF DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE
This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations
pertaining to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review) of the Environmental
Conservation Law.
The Town Board of the Town of Queensbury has determined that the proposed
action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment.
1. Title of Action: Amendments to the Town of Queensbury Zoning Ordinance
$2cli:inging a zone classification from Heavy Industry 3 acres to Light Industry
1 acre.
?.. SEQRA Status: Unlisted action.
3. Description of Action: To enlarge the areas permitting light industrial
uses:
The general area proposed is as follows:
Re-zone Light Industry
Portion Queensbury Tax Map Section 110 - Lower Warren Street, City
line and parallel to Quaker Road
Detailed maps of the area affected were made available for inspection
at the Town Clerk' s Office from February 26, 1986 to March 11, 1986 during
normal business hours.
4. Reasons Supporting Determination: Based upon the documents submitted
in connection with the application for re-zoning including an environmental
assessment form for the proposed zone change, the evidence and public
comments submitted at the March 11, 1986 meeting on the proposed action,
and upon the knowledge of the members of the Town of Queensbury Board,
no-significant environmental effects were identified. The change of
land classification from heavy industry to light industry was made in
response to several requests for the change by owners of land within
the zone. Although, potential density is increased from HI-3 acres to
LI-1 acre, the uses permitted under light industry will have less effect
upon the environment than permitted heavy industrial uses. _ .Mier,
the light industry zone is more compatible with the adjoining zones for
highway commercial and plaza commercial activities.
