Planning
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
The Department has four major program categories:
COMMUNITY PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT RESOURCE & ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGMENT
COUNTY PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEMOGRAPHICS & DATA SERVICES
Staff oversees a number of County programs: Jefferson County Rural Public Transportation Program, Community Development Block Grants, North Country HOME Consortium, County Planning Board, Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board, Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Committee, NYS Snowmobile Grant-In-Aid Program, NYS Septic System Replacement Program, Geographic Information System (GIS) Services, Fort Drum-related growth and development technical services, and Demographic and Census services.
The Department also provides local government technical assistance to town and village boards in the development and implementation of comprehensive plans, zoning regulations, and subdivision regulations.
These services are intended to assist and guide efforts at both the County and local levels, to develop and implement planning and development programs which will have positive impacts on the area's economy, environment, rural character and land uses.
COMMUNITY PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
As resources permit, the Department provides staff assistance to communities in support of their land use, comprehensive planning, and community development projects.
The Department has recently provided assistance to the Villages of Alexandria Bay, Black River and the Towns of LeRay, Hounsfield, Orleans and Henderson. The office also coordinates a fall land use training session with the NYS Department of State, Local Government office for local municipal planning officials.
Local Contacts for Land Use and Development Projects
New York State has a "home-rule" form of local government. Under this system, land use and development decisions are controlled at the Town, Village and City levels.
Nearly all local municipalities in Jefferson County have some form of local land use control, typically through a Zoning Law or Development Code. A Zoning Law controls the type of land use and density of development that may occur in any particular area of a community. Each municipality with zoning has an appointed Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer that administers the Zoning Law. Typically, this individual is the best "first point of contact" for anyone proposing development within a municipality. The Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer will issue a zoning permit for permitted uses that comply with the Zoning Law.
Most communities also have a Planning Board that is often responsible for site plan reviews and the approval of special permits for specific uses identified in the Zoning Law.
Many communities also have subdivision regulations to manage the creation and arrangement of property parcels for new development. These regulations are administered by the Planning Board.
Each municipality with a Zoning Law must also have a Zoning Board of Appeals to consider appeals made to the Zoning Enforcement Officer, and to issue interpretations on the local Zoning Law.
Approval under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code is usually required to ensure that standards and specifications for structural construction and fire safety are met. Usually, this approval is obtained after local zoning approval through a Uniform Code or Building Permit. In some cases, municipalities issue Zoning and Uniform Code approval at the same time. Each municipality determines whether it is responsible for the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code approval, or if it chooses to opt-out to Jefferson County for administration of this Code.

County Planning Board
The Jefferson County Planning Board was created by the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors (Resolution Number 85 of the year 1966) pursuant to Article 12-B of the General Municipal Law, Section 239-b of the State of New York. The CPB consists of eleven members appointed by the Board of Legislators. The County Planning Board is authorized to conduct reviews of certain classes of planning and zoning actions by a city, town or village within the County pursuant to sections 239-m of General Municipal Law.
The CPB meets on the LAST TUESDAY of the month, 4:00 p.m., in the 2nd Floor Conference room at 175 Arsenal Street, Watertown, NY.
General Municipal Law 239-m Review Procedures
A. Referrals to the County Planning Board shall be submitted by the municipality and shall be received at the Jefferson County Department of Planning Offices no less than 12 calendar days prior to the scheduled County Planning Board Meeting on the last Tuesday of the month.
B. As stated in General Municipal Law 239-m, referrals will be considered "received" on the date when a "full statement" has been submitted. A full statement shall mean all materials required by and submitted to the referring body as an application on a proposed action, including a completed environmental assessment form and all other materials required by such referring body in order to make its determination of significance pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act. When the proposed action is the adoption or amendment of a zoning ordinance or law, “full statement of such proposed action” shall also include the complete text of the proposed ordinance or local law as well as all existing provisions to be affected thereby, if any
C. Determination of Full Statement
1. Staff will conduct an analysis of the contents of each referral to determine that it is a “full statement”.
2. In the case that a referral is determined to be an incomplete statement in accordance with the above requirements, staff shall notify the municipality responsible for the referral of the inadequacy of the materials submitted, and shall request that additional information be provided to render the referral of a complete statement. This notification shall be in writing, except when time constraints dictate otherwise.
3. In recognition that many municipal bodies have the authority to waive the application requirements of their local zoning legislation, the requirements of a Full Statement above do not require that municipalities submit materials that have been waived by the local board. However, written documentation that the required materials and information have been waived will be required.
4. If the referring municipality fails to respond to the request for additional information twelve (12) days prior to the scheduled Jefferson County Planning Board meeting, the referral may be deemed improper and may not be included on the agenda for that month’s County Planning Board meeting. The referral may be considered resubmitted on the first day of the month following the original receipt date.
D. Exemption Of Matters Of Local Concern
General Municipal Law Section 239m gives the County Board of Legislators and local municipalities the authority to enter into agreements which exempt certain matters, considered to be of local rather than inter-community or County-wide concern, from County Planning Board Review.
The Jefferson County Board of Legislators passed Resolution 246 of 1992 on September 1, 1992, titled “Exemption of Matters of Local Concern from County Planning Board Review”. This Resolution and any amendments to it shall be attached to the By-laws.

Planning Primers
The following Planning Primers were modeled with permission, using narrative, bullet points, and images from the set of Greenway Guides, developed by the Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development and published in 2001. They are also based on the Jefferson County Planning Board Growth and Development Guidelines adopted in 2005. Their purpose is to help communities refine their decision-making, promote open discussions about future projects and ultimately enhance communities over time. They should assist communities describe local priorities in various ways, as each subdivision, site plan review, and special permit decision represents a unique set of issues and challenges. If the community agrees on basic principles or values up front, then review processes can thrive from a balanced and clear approach. Thus, by using the planning primers to discuss\illustrate local community desires, projects will be more likely to enhance communities and reflect local priorities.

COUNTY PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Jefferson County Public Transportation
In late 2022, the Jefferson County Board of Legislators adopted a resolution to apply for 5311 funds from the NYS Department of Transportation (DOT) for capital expenditures associated with creating a public transportation system throughout Jefferson County. In its application, the County requested money to purchase six buses and funds to contract with a Mobility Manager to facilitate the County’s startup program. The County is patiently awaiting approval from the State DOT.
In March 2023, the County created a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Mobility Management for its startup county-wide public transportation system.
As the 5311 application and RFP progress, County Planning Department staff will update the information here.
If you have any questions or need additional information, contact the Planning Department, at (315) 785-3144.

RESOURCE & ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Agriculture
Jefferson County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board
The Department administers and supports the Board in two main areas.
NYS Certified Agricultural Districts
The County Agriculture Districts Program includes over 246,000 acres of land in three separate Districts in the County. New York’s Agricultural Districts Law, Article 25-AA PDF of the NYS Agriculture and Markets Law, was enacted in 1971 to help keep farmland in agricultural production.
There are two processes at the county level for the addition and review of these districts. Each Certified Agricultural District is required by New York State to undergo and Eight-Year Review to determine if the district still consists of predominantly viable agricultural land. There is also an annual individual inclusions process where agricultural land may be added to an existing certified agricultural district.
The New York State Agricultural Districts Law requires counties to establish an annual 30 day period to allow parcels of predominantly viable agricultural land to be added to existing New York State Certified Agricultural Districts. The Jefferson County Board of Legislators has set June 1st through June 30th of each year for this purpose.
Viable agricultural land is land that is actively farmed as well as inactive and non-farm acreage which is highly suitable for agricultural production. A parcel of land is “predominantly” viable if a minimum of 51% of the parcel meets the above definition.
Certified Agricultural Districts are designed to protect agriculture through a combination of landowner incentives and protections that discourage the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses, including:
• providing reduced property tax bills for agricultural lands - property owners must apply annually with their local assessor for an agricultural assessment
• providing the framework to limit unreasonable local regulation on accepted agricultural practices
• providing Right to Farm provisions that protect accepted agricultural practices from private nuisance suits
• modifying state agency administrative regulations and procedures to encourage the continuation of agricultural businesses
• modifying the ability to advance public funds to construct facilities that encourage development
• preventing benefit assessments, special ad valorem levies, or other rates and fees on farmland for the finance of improvements such as water, sewer or nonfarm drainage
• modifying the ability of public agencies to acquire farmland through eminent domain
Certified Agricultural Districts primarily benefit owners of land that is farmed. Being part of a Certified Agricultural District does not:
• directly affect the use of land beyond existing requirements, for example, zoning
• directly reduce or increase tax assessments—agricultural landowners can apply to the local tax assessor for an annual agricultural assessment

North District Map
Southwest District #3
The Southwest District consists of land within the Towns Hounsfield, Henderson, Ellisburg and portions of the Towns of Adams, Watertown, and Lorraine.
The Southwest Eight-year Review will commence in the spring of 2025.
Some landowners with land currently enrolled in the Southwest District will receive a Farm Survey that is intended to gauge the state of agriculture in the District. Landowners who currently own an agricultural operation within the Southwest District or rent their land to an agricultural operation are asked to complete and return the survey by June 30, 2025. The compiled results of the survey will be included in the Jefferson County Farmland Protection Board’s eight-year review report to the Jefferson County Board of Legislators. Individual responses will not be detailed in the report.
After the open period ends, the Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board will review the requests and prepare a report that is submitted to the County Board of Legislators for their consideration. The Board will then hold a public hearing to receive feedback on the requested modifications, if any. Once the County Board of Legislators has approved of the changes, the report is finalized and sent to the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets for recertification of the North District. This process typically takes eight to ten months.

Annual Agricultural Inclusions
Landowners can request to have their property added to a Certified Agricultural District during Jefferson County's Annual Individual Inclusions open enrollment. The Jefferson County Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board announces that the next annual open enrollment period for the addition of viable agricultural lands into Jefferson County Agricultural Districts will take place from June 1st through June 30th . Note that property can only be removed from an Agricultural District during the District's eight-year review.
Agricultural Districts are intended to encourage the continued use of farmland for agricultural production. Enrollment of viable agricultural lands into a State-certified Agricultural District provides protection of accepted agricultural practices through New York State Agricultural Districts Law. Viable agricultural land is land highly suitable for, or currently used for, agricultural production.

County's Agriculture and Farmland Protection Plan
The importance of agriculture to Jefferson County cannot be understated. Agriculture has an important economic role and is also a critical feature of the landscape, contributor to tourism, and is valued as a land use contributing to the quality of life in the County.
The Jefferson County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board, with the assistance of Community Planning and Environmental Associates, has updated the 2002 Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan.
The 2016 Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan provides the County:
• A long-term vision and direction to guide policies and programs that can enhance agriculture;
• Strategies to maintain agriculture as a critical land use and economic driver;
• A framework for organization and collaboration to promote existing and new farm operations;
• Identification of potential project partners and sources of funding; and
• Data, maps, and other information that can be used to support agricultural economic development, public relations, marketing, grant writing, and other programs related to agriculture.
A variety of approaches were used to learn what farmers, agri-businesses, and agencies involved with supporting agriculture think are issues and opportunities to be addressed in this Plan. Public outreach and farmer input was gathered through a comprehensive process that included:
• Workshop for Farmers;
• Roundtable discussion with the Jefferson County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board;
• Discussion with the Jefferson County Agricultural Round Table;
• A farmer’s survey;
• Focus group meetings to learn about CAFO Farms, dairy processing, land trusts and farmland protection in the County, agri-businesses, ag-tourism, and ag-economic development; and
• Interviews with several farms.
The public input received from these efforts was organized into the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats related to agriculture. From this, the vision and goals were developed along with a list of issues to be addressed and new strategies to implement.
