Map Amendment
What Is It?
Private lands within the Adirondack Park are classified into six different land use areas by the Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan. These land use areas (Hamlet, Moderate Intensity Use, Low Intensity Use, Rural Use, Resource Management and Industrial Use) are shown on the Official Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan Map.
Local governments, individual landowners, or both concurrently may request amendments to the classification of specific parcels persuant to Section 805 of the Adirondack Park Agency Act and Part 583 of Agency regulations, which set forth criteria and procedures for amendment of the Official Map.
