LOCAL LAWS GOVERNING USE OF AGRICULTURAL LAND DID NOT VIOLATE THE PUBLIC TRUST DOCTRINE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, over a partial dissent, determined that local laws governing the use of agricultural land did not violate the public trust doctrine:

The Supreme Court correctly determined that the public trust doctrine applied to the property interest at issue, namely, development rights in agricultural land, as the plaintiffs demonstrated prima facie that the County acquired these development rights for public use and not in its “corporate capacity” … . …

… [T]he County defendants demonstrated, prima facie, that the contested provisions in Local Law Nos. 52-2010 and 44-2013, namely, those concerning commercial horse boarding and equine operations, agricultural development permits for structures and alternative energy systems, maximum lot coverages and the hardship exemption thereto, agricultural tourism, special use permits to conduct a site disturbance or a special event, agricultural processing facilities, hay rides, and agricultural educational tours, did not waste public property or violate the public trust doctrine … . Long Is.
