§ 400-42 Industrial District.
A.
District Preamble:
(1)
It is the purpose of this section to establish a vehicle to accommodate new industrial land uses in the Town of Saratoga without compromising the essential rural/agricultural character of the community.
(2)
This section recognizes the need to accommodate potential industrial development and, at the same time, that prime industrial areas are not readily identifiable. To resolve this problem, industrial zones are not shown on the Zoning Map but will, when appropriate and necessary to the land use goals and objectives of the Town, be established by the Town Board by an amendment to the Zoning Map.
B.
C.
Prohibited uses: any and all industrial uses whose products or byproducts may, based on current scientific data, pose a health hazard to humans or adversely affect agriculture.
D.
Procedure for establishment of Industrial Zone.

Prior to the establishment of any permitted industrial use, the applicant shall petition the Town Board to rezone the land area on which the proposed industrial use is to be established.
(2)
The petition shall include, at a minimum, a map at a scale of not less than one inch equals 50 feet showing the area proposed to be rezoned, adjacent land uses, jurisdictional wetlands and floodplains, if any, and a description of the proposed industrial use. The applicant shall also submit a completed copy of the short environmental assessment form contained in the appendix of this chapter.[1] All elements of the petition shall be submitted in triplicate.
[1]
Editor's Note: A copy of the short environmental assessment form is available in the Town offices.
(4)
Not later than 45 days from the date of referral, the Town Planning Board shall report on the proposed rezoning to the Town Board.

(a)
A determination of the application of the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
(b)
A determination of the application of the Freshwater Wetlands Act and the National Flood Insurance Program.
(c)
The ability of the existing transportation facilities to support the proposed rezoning.
(d)
The ability of other community facilities and services to support the proposed rezoning.
(e)
Compatibility with adjacent land uses.
(f)
A recommendation for approval or disapproval.
(6)
If the Planning Board's report indicates that the proposed rezoning is subject to review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act, then the Town Board shall not act on the proposal until all requirements of the law are met.
(7)
If the proposed rezoning is not subject to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, the Town Board, following receipt of the Planning Board's report, shall schedule a public hearing on the proposed rezoning. The public hearing shall be conducted not later than 30 days following receipt of the Planning Board's report.
