BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck as follows: Section 1 - Purpose After the Town Board enacted Local Law 3 - 2003 which created a moratorium on development along a section of the Boston Post Road, the firm of Buckhurst, Fish and Jacquemart studied that section of the Boston Post Road and submitted to the Town Board alternatives for the zoning of the affected properties. Those alternatives were discussed at the July 9, 2003 work session of the Town Board where Buckhurst, Fish and Jacquemart was instructed to modify its proposed zoning amendment to reflect the Town Board's reaction to it. It is anticipated that the revised proposal will be received within the next thirty days at which point, the Town Board can commence the procedures for amending the Town's zoning ordinance. Since such an amendment will require adherence to (I) the procedures for studying possible environmental impacts that could be wrought by such a change in zoning and (ii) the mechanisms for amending the Town's zoning laws contained in the Town's zoning ordinance, the process for amending the Town's zoning ordinance cannot be concluded by September 4, 2003 - the date on which the moratorium is scheduled to expire. This law extends the moratorium for slightly less than four months to afford the Town Board the opportunity o complete that process. Section 2 -Amendment Section 240-83 (C) (2) Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by deleting the words "September 4" therein and substituting the words "December 31" in their place. Section 3 - Severability Should any court of competent jurisdiction declare any provision of this Local Law invalid or unconstitutional, 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.
