§ 65-1. Findings; purpose.

The Town Board finds that filming, as defined herein, in the Town of New Castle is a desirable practice that encourages artistic development, local economy and tourism. Nevertheless, the Town Board also finds that filming on private and public property in the Town may create significant hardship, inconvenience, danger and discomfort to the general public and residents of the Town of New Castle caused by temporary adverse impacts, including traffic, noise, lights, vibrations, odors, etc. By reason of the foregoing, the Town Board finds the the health, welfare and safety will be served by adoption of a local law providing a means or regulating, by license, the undertaking of any filming on private or public property within the Town of New Castle. The Town Board does hereby ordain and enact this chapter to accomplish the aforesaid purposes. The existing policy of the Town of New Castle concerning filming, adopted February 14, 1989, is hereby repealed, revoked and superseded in its entirety.
