BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck as follows : 1 . This Local Law shall be known as Amendment to Local Law No. 7, 1994, "Moratorium on Placement of Cellular Telephone Antennas" . 2 . Purpose and Intent The Town Board, on August 17, 1994, adopted Local Law No. 1994, known as Moratorium on Placement of Cellular Telephone Antennas, which provided for a moratorium, for a period of ninety (90) days from adoption, on any action which would permit the erection of a cellular telephone antenna within the Town of Mamaroneck. Since the adoption of the Moratorium the Town Board has retained the services of Cleary Consulting, planning and environmental consultants, for the purposes of undertaking a study of the Town' s land use regulations with respect to placement of cellular telephone antennas within the Town of Mamaroneck. As a result of the study Cleary Consulting has advised that they will recommend certain amendments to the Town Zoning Ordinance with respect to the citing of cellular telephone antennas within the Town so as to address aesthetic, as well as public health and safety concerns arising from the proliferation of these antennas . Town regulations and State statute require that prior to the adoption of a zoning amendment that such amendment be referred to the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board and to the County Department of Planning and, further, that the Town undertake compliance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act. It will be impossible to review the proposal of our consultant and to implement any changes before the expiration of the initial ninety (90) day moratorium period. it is, therefore, the purpose of this Local Law to amend Local Law No. 7, 1994 for the purposes of extending tpe moratorium so as to allow the Town to complete its study and adoption of regulations based upondthat study and to • maintain the status quo pending the adoption of those regulations so as not to render the Town' s efforts to review e these uses moot .
