Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes February 18, 2026 o Site Plan Review in the Town Code 280-307 provides the parameters of what the Planning Board reviews under site plan review. Some of the changes are as follows: ▪ 280-307.01- talks about the authority of site plan review. It states that the Town Board grants the Planning Board the power and authority to review site plans, approve with conditions or disapproval. • Removed the clause that said that the chapter will be enforced by Code Enforcement or any such duly authorized entity. ▪ 280-307.02- added a clause of what comes to the Planning Board versus what does not. • For things that does not come to the Planning Board, the verbiage “signs” and “or similar use as determined by the Supervising Code Enforcement Officer” was added • What the clause now says is that anything that needs a building permit or a CFO is subject to site plan approval except for the uses that are listed o Member Chmura: if a project has signage include in the site plan, are we saying that it is not a part of the Planning Boards review, or does this mean an individual sign that is going to be erected that would not come to the Planning Board? ▪ Mr. Rogers explained that it would be individual signs that are being erected that would not come to the Planning Board. Signs that are included in site plans can be provided recommendations and comments, but the Planning Board does not have approval power of that sign. o So, are we no longer able to put a condition on a site plan related to signage? ▪ This language does not prevent that from happening. The verbiage is that anyone who applies for a sign permit or applies for a variance for a sign does not need to come to the Planning Board for site plan review. However, if the signage is part of an overall site plan then the Board can still add conditions 2
