§ A316-8. Referrals.

A. 

Prior to taking action on any matter which would cause any change in the regulations or use of land or buildings on real property as specified in § 239-m of the General Municipal Law, the Board shall make referrals to the Orange County Planning Department.

B. 

Within 30 days after receipt of a full statement of such referred matter, the Orange County Planning Department to which referral is made shall report its recommendations thereon to the Board, accompanied by a full statement of the reasons for such recommendations. If such planning agency disapproves the proposal or recommends modification thereof, the Board shall not act contrary to such disapproval or recommendation, except by a vote of a majority plus one of all the members thereof and after the adoption of a resolution fully setting forth the report for such contrary action. The Chairman shall read the report of the Orange County Planning Department at the public hearing on the matter under review.

C. 

If the Orange County Planning Department fails to report within such period of 30 days or such longer period as may have been agreed upon, the Board may act without such report.
