HomeMy WebLinkAbout2007_2_27_Local_Law_No_1 Local Law No. 1 - 2007
This local law shall be known as the "Fourth Amendment to the Moratorium on Illuminated Signs"
Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 —Purpose:
The Town Board is concerned about the potential proliferation of brightly illuminated signs within
the Town's business and industrial districts. By Local Law No. 6-2006, it enacted a moratorium on
the erection of new illuminated signs to afford the Town Board an opportunity to examine ways to
control the erection of such signs. The most recent extension of that moratorium expires on
February 28, 2007. Since the moratorium went into effect, the Board has been studying ways in
which such lighting can be controlled without creating an undue economic burden upon the Town's
commercial enterprises. The Board needs additional time to complete its examination. Hence, a
short extension moratorium on the erection of illuminated signs is warranted.
Section 2 --- Amendment to a current section of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck:
Section 175-12 G. of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by deleting the
words "February 28, 2007"therefrom and substituting the words "April 5, 2007"in their place.
Section 3 —Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.
Section 4 —Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
