Hyde Park City Zoning Code

§ 108-27.1

Regulations.

The following provisions apply to used car lots:
A. 
All used car dealers are required to obtain site plan approval for the operation of a used car lot, whether or not the dealer is licensed by the State of New York. The application for site plan approval shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator, who shall review the application to determine if it is complete. The application shall satisfy the requirements for site plan approval applications set forth in Article 9. Upon determining that the application is complete, the Zoning Administrator shall forward the application to the Planning Board.
B. 
The Planning Board shall review the site plan pursuant to Article 9. The Planning Board shall serve as lead agency for purposes of SEQRA review and shall conduct a coordinated review with other involved agencies for purposes of SEQRA compliance. The Planning Board may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the site plan.
C. 
Upon approval of the Planning Board of the site plan, the dealer may apply to the Town for a used car dealer license. All license applications are made through the Zoning Administrator and are issued by the Town Clerk. Following approval by the Zoning Administrator, all license fees and renewals shall be paid to the Town Clerk, who shall issue the license or renewal. The only determination to be made by the Zoning Administrator in reviewing the license application is whether the dealer is in compliance with the provisions of the site plan approval.
D. 
Upon approval of the Zoning Administrator, the Town Clerk shall issue the license after Town Board approval. The license shall expire on December 31st of the issuing year and shall be renewable annually if the premises have been operated in accordance with the site plan approval and the regulations contained in this chapter. The Zoning Administrator shall authorize the renewal of the license each year as long as the premises remain in compliance with the site plan approval. The license from the previous year will remain in force and effect until a decision on renewal is made by the Zoning Administrator. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the used car lot is not being operated or maintained in compliance with the site plan approval, the Zoning Administrator shall recommend to the Town Board disapproval of the renewal of the license.
E. 
If at any time during the year in which a license is in effect the Zoning Administrator shall determine that the used car lot is not being operated or maintained in compliance with the site plan approval, the Zoning Administrator shall serve the licensee with a notice of violation and order to remedy. If the violation is not remedied within the time period allowed in the order to remedy, the Zoning Administrator shall make a recommendation to the Town Board that the license be revoked.
F. 
No used car lot shall be operated in the Town without a used car dealer license.
G. 
Used car sales not on a used car lot are regulated in § 108-30.6B(4).
