HomeMy WebLinkAbout2006_11_15_Local_Law_No_16 Local Law No. 16 - 2006
This local law shall be known as the "Third 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
November 30, 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 "November 30, 2006"therefrom and substituting the words "February 28, 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.
