The scope and intensity of the studies may differ from community to community in light of community resources, previous planning work, if any, and the data base essential for the review of class B regional projects.

(1) conform with applicable provisions of State law;
(2) provide for land use control throughout the jurisdiction of the local government; and

(4) provide for the review of all subdivisions of land of two or more lots except that, where local conditions warrant, a local land use program may utilize a different review threshold for subdivisions, to include no less than all divisions of land into five or more lots, parcels or sites, and all other divisions of land involving a new public or private road regardless of the number of lots involved.
Paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subdivision may be satisfied by other provisions in a local land use program including zoning and/or land use controls other than subdivision regulations.
(d) It contains zoning regulations which:
(1) provide for and encourage, in each local land use district, land uses and developments that are compatible with the character, description and objectives of that district as stated in the local comprehensive plan, and reasonably apply the compatible uses lists of the Adirondack Park land use and development plan;
(2) reasonably apply the overall intensity guidelines, through minimum lot area specifications or other appropriate means, and if a wild, scenic or recreational river is located within the local government, provide for a rivers system land management plan or for intensity controls in conformance with Part 577 of these regulations;
(3) include dimensional regulations in which the minimum shoreline lot widths and building setbacks comply with or exceed section 806 of the Adirondack Park Agency Act;

(7) provide for sign and junkyard control, including local sign regulations in conformance, at a minimum, with Appendix Q-3 of these regulations;

(f) This section shall not be construed to prevent the development and submission of local land use programs which contain additional or supplemental provisions, or to restrain initiative on the part of local governments desiring to develop local land use programs in alternate formats as warranted by local conditions.
