Local Waterfront Revitalization Program

PUBLIC NOTICE
New York State Department of State
Notice of Routine Program Change
Town and Village of Clayton
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program

PURSUANT to 15 CFR 923.84(b), the New York State Department of State (DOS) has submitted a routine program change to the federal Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM). The change to the New York State Coastal Management Program (CMP) covered by this request is the incorporation of the Town and Village of Clayton Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) into the State's CMP.
A major component of the State's CMP is the provision that local governments be allowed to prepare Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs, which further detail and make geographically specific the State's coastal policies.  Each LWRP is reviewed for consistency with the State's CMP and approved if it meets the guidelines established in the State CMP and Article 42 of the NYS Executive Law.
The Town and Village of Clayton LWRP is a long-term intermunicipal management program for the Town and Village’s waterfront resources along the St. Lawrence River, and is based on the policies of the New York State Coastal Management Program. It also serves to update the original Village of Clayton LWRP approved in 1986. The Town and Village of Clayton LWRP includes a comprehensive description of the existing and proposed land uses in the waterfront revitalization area, incorporates a harbor management plan, and identifies the next generation of waterfront revitalization projects.
The LWRP reflects proposed land uses to be accommodated within the Local Waterfront Revitalization Area in accordance with the local regulations. The following Town laws are described as techniques for implementation of the LWRP: Town of Clayton Zoning Ordinance; the Flood Damage Prevention Law; Subdivision Regulations; the Waterfront Consistency Review Law; Rural Design Guidelines and Scenic Protection Overlay District Law; and the Agricultural-Island Residential District Law. The following Village laws are described as techniques for implementation of the LWRP: Article XIII-Riverwalk District of the Zoning Ordinance; RiverWalk District Design Guidelines; the Docking Law - Chapter 58 of the Village Code; the Waterfront Consistency Law; the Flood Damage Prevention Law; and the Harbor Management Law.
The Town and Village of Clayton prepared the LWRP in partnership with the New York State Department of State, in accordance with the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act and the New York State Coastal Management Program.  The draft LWRP was circulated by the Department of State to potentially affected State, federal, and regional agencies during a review period from November 30, 2011 to February 1, 2012.  Following this review period, the Department of State coordinated responses to comments received with the Town and Village of Clayton, and revised the draft LWRP where necessary.  The Town and Village of Clayton LWRP was adopted by resolution by the Town of Clayton Town Board on July 25, 2012 and by the Village of Clayton Board of Trustees on March 28, 2012, and approved by the New York State Secretary of State on February 4, 2013, pursuant to the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act (NYS Executive Law, Article 42).  The Town and Village of Clayton Local Waterfront Revitalization Program is available online at http://docs.dos.ny.gov/communitieswaterfronts/LWRP/Clayton_V&T/Index.html

 

PUBLIC NOTICE
New York State Department of State
Notice of Routine Program Change
Town of Evans
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Amendment
PURSUANT to 15 CFR 923.84(b), the New York State Department of State (DOS) has submitted a routine program change to the federal Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM). The change to the New York State Coastal Management Program (CMP) covered by this request is the incorporation of an amendment to the Town of Evans Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) into the State's CMP.
A major component of the State's CMP is the provision that local governments be allowed to prepare and amend Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs, which further detail and make geographically specific the State's coastal policies. Each LWRP is reviewed for consistency with the State's CMP and approved if it meets the guidelines established in the State CMP and Article 42 of the NYS Executive Law.
The Town of Evans LWRP is a long term comprehensive coastal management program for the Town's Lake Erie waterfront resources and is based on the policies of the New York State Coastal Management Program. The Evans LWRP was originally approved by the New York State Secretary of State on February 18, 1987, and incorporated into the New York State Coastal Management Program on March 26, 1987. The Town amended its LWRP to better reflect proposed land and water uses to be accommodated within the Waterfront Revitalization Area in accordance with the Town’s 2010 Comprehensive Plan and zoning amendments adopted after 1987, such as: R‐1L Residential Lakefront; R‐1 Single‐Family Residential; R‐2 Single and Two‐Family Residential; MFR‐3 Multi‐Family Residential; the AOS-Agricultural and Open Space District; RR-Rural Residential District; RF‐ Recreational Facility; PF – Public Facility; and NB‐ Neighborhood Business districts. These zoning changes serve to strengthen the ability of the Town to implement the policies and uses set forth in the LWRP. To more effectively manage and protect land uses and environmental resources in the waterfront area, the LWRP amendment expands the Waterfront Revitalization Area and the coastal boundary 100 feet to the east of the centerline of Lake Shore Road, to better enable development of public trail facilities, as well as along the boundaries of the Eighteen Mile Creek and Big Sister Creek Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats, which were designated and incorporated into the State’s CMP after the approval of the original Evans LWRP.
The Town prepared the LWRP amendment in partnership with the New York State Department of State, in accordance with the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act and the New York State Coastal Management Program. The draft LWRP amendment was circulated to potentially affected State, federal, and regional agencies during a review period from March 9, 2011 to May 9, 2011. Following this review period, the Department of State coordinated responses to comments received with the Town of Evans, and revised the draft LWRP where necessary. The Evans Town Board then adopted the amended LWRP on October 19, 2011, which was subsequently approved by the New York State Secretary of State on February 22, 2013, pursuant to the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act (NYS Executive Law, Article 42).
The amended Town of Evans Local Waterfront Revitalization Program is available online at http://docs.dos.ny.gov/communitieswaterfronts/LWRP/Evans_T/Index.html
Any comments on whether or not the action constitutes a routine program change to the State’s approved Coastal Management Program should be submitted by May 16, 2013 to:
