F:\Documents\Llawscombined\2006\LL No. 14 -2006 (2nd Amendment To LL No. 6-2006
Illuminated Signs)-F.Doc
This local law shall be known as the "Second 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. That moratorium
expired on August 31, 2006. 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 "August 31, 2006" therefrom and substituting the words "November 30, 2006" 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.
