Following full discussion and review of an applicant’s plans, the Planning Board will take action to approve, modify or deny the proposal. A simple majority of the full membership is necessary to pass a resolution.

Decisions of the Planning Board are filed in the Town Clerk’s Office and can generally be obtained within three weeks of a decision.

A decision of the Board may be appealed to a court of competent jurisdiction – typically the New York State Supreme Court.

The Syracuse-Onondaga County Planning Agency (SOCPA) is required by New York State General Municipal Law, Section 239 l and m, to review certain applications that come before the Planning Board prior to a decision being made. Such matters are referred to the county by the Planning & Zoning office. As an applicant, you are NOT REQUIRED to prepare these materials. Occasionally, meeting schedules of the County and Planning Board do not coincide which may result in a delay of a decision by the Planning Board until the County’s recommendation is received. You will be notified if a delay is expected.
