Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-38
Procedure for establishment
Operative Text
Approval of the Town Board and the Planning Board is required for all expansion, construction or new development as set forth in Articles I , II and III of this chapter.
Under Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-38, any expansion, construction, or new development covered by Articles I, II, and III of Chapter 217 must receive approval from both the Town Board and the Planning Board before it can proceed. This dual-approval requirement means that neither board acting alone is sufficient to authorize such projects. The provision establishes a procedural threshold that applies broadly to the categories of development defined elsewhere in the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-38 generally ensure that any planned expansion, construction, or new development covered under Articles I, II, and III of Chapter 217 is submitted to both the Town Board and the Planning Board for review and approval. Compliant operators typically track the status of both approval processes and do not commence regulated work until both bodies have granted authorization. Maintaining documentation of each board's decision is a common practice for demonstrating compliance with this dual-approval procedure.

Under Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-38, tenants living in or near properties undergoing expansion, construction, or new development may have an interest in whether the required Town Board and Planning Board approvals were properly obtained. If a project appears to have proceeded without both approvals as required by Articles I, II, and III of Chapter 217, tenants can look into raising that procedural gap through local municipal channels or by contacting the relevant town offices. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local land use procedures can help explain what options may be available in such situations.
