The Town of Lansing is seeking to update its existing zoning code to align with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, as adopted in 2018. Over the past two decades, the town has adopted various code amendments as needed. Lansing’s current code was last updated in its entirety in 2003 and is inadequate to deal with emerging development pressures. The code has become difficult to adminster and interpret. The Town of Lansing shall prepare a Zoning Code pursuant to the zoning enabling statutes contained in NYS Town Law which aligns with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and related master plans and policies. The Zoning Code should ensure a development pattern that is consistent with the municipality’s character; guides future growth within the municipality; focuses on sustainability; enhances the local cultural identity; and protects local and regional natural, agricultural, and cultural resources.
