Cairo inches forward towards zoning law

Feb 03, 2011 6:18 am
The Cairo Zoning Commission is continuing to hone its draft law and answer questions submitted by the list of potential uses in the Route 145 commercial/mixed-use district. The Daily Mail reports that at a meeting on Monday, January 31, the group voted that an educational or training facility could be for-profit, and of a wide variety of types. Also, it was noted that under the new zoning law, Cairo's first, all existing uses will be allowed to stay. "Released last November, the zoning law caps a three-year effort to provide business owners, builders and homeowners with clear rules governing development in the town," the story says of the 158-page plan, three years in the making and still controversial because of its very existence. "Since the law’s unveiling, the commission has made many amendments small and large to the text and zoning map." Following a public hearing by the zoning commission, the law will be handed to the town board. The board must then hold its own hearing. The commission’s next meeting is set for Feb. 8 at 6 p.m. at Gallagher’s Banquet Hall.
