§ 228-17 PDD planned development districts.
Purpose.
The purpose of the planned development district classification is to provide for the rezoning of land to residential, commercial and industrial development zones either jointly or separately in conformance with provisions and standards which ensure compatibility among all the land uses, foster innovation in site planning and development and encourage sound design practices.
Provision is included for planned development districts to permit establishment of areas in which diverse uses may be brought together in a compatible and unified plan of development which shall be in the interest of the general welfare of the public. In planned development districts, land and structures may be constructed and used for any lawful purpose in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.
Procedure. The procedure for obtaining a change in zone for undertaking development within a planned development district shall be as follows:
The owner (or agent thereof, hereinafter referred to as "owner") of the land shall submit five copies of a preliminary development plan to the Village Planning Board as described in Subsection C and an application for a change of zone.
The Planning Board shall discuss the application and shall review the preliminary development plan, with the assistance of the Village Engineer and Code Enforcement Officer, with the owner. The Planning Board shall prepare recommendations with regard to the preliminary development plan and the proposed change of zone.
Within 45 days of receipt of the application and preliminary development plan, the Planning Board shall transmit, in writing, to the Board of Trustees its recommendation for approval, approval with conditions or modifications or disapproval. The Planning Board shall include its reasons for such recommendation. The Planning Board shall send a copy of its recommendations to the owner. Failure of the Planning Board to act within 45 days of receipt of the application will constitute a no-recommendation opinion by the Planning Board and will permit the owner to submit the application and preliminary development plan directly to the Board of Trustees.
Within 15 days of receipt of the Planning Board's recommendation, the Board of Trustees shall refer the application and preliminary development plan to the Cortland County Planning Department for its recommendation. The Board of Trustees shall allow the Cortland County Planning Department at least 30 days to render its report.
Within 45 days of receipt of the Planning Board's recommendation, public notice shall be given and a public hearing held by the Board of Trustees on the proposed, change of zone, subject to the specifications of the preliminary development plan.
Within 45 days of the public hearing, the Zoning Map may be amended so as to define the boundaries of the planned development district, but such action shall have the effect only of granting permission for development of the approved preliminary development plan proposal in accordance with the provisions of this section.
If the change of zone and preliminary development plan are approved by the Board of Trustees, an appropriate notation to that effect will be made on the face of five copies of the preliminary development plan. One copy will be retained by the Village Clerk, one copy will be given to the Planning Board, one copy will be given to the Code Enforcement Officer, one copy to the County Planning Board, and one copy will be returned to the owner.
In the event that the Board of Trustees grants the change of zone, subject to modifications in the preliminary development plan, the resolution granting the change of zone shall specify the required modifications. If the change of zone is granted, with or without required modifications in the preliminary development plan, such change shall be published and posted pursuant to the requirements of § 7-708 of the Village Law.
In the event that the Board of Trustees disapproves the application and preliminary development plan, it shall notify the owner, in writing, of the disapproval and of the reasons for such decision.
The resolution by the Board of Trustees amending the Zoning Map for a planned development district shall specify the time period for completion of the development and shall indicate that the appropriate action will be taken to revert the zoning of the subject property to its previous zoning if the development schedule is not met.
Upon approval of the application on change of zone and the preliminary development plan, with or without required modifications, the owner shall submit eight copies of a development plan, as described in Subsection D, for Planning Board review. The Planning Board shall, with the assistance of the Village Engineer and Code Enforcement Officer, review the development plan with the owner.
Within 45 days of receipt of the development plan, the Planning Board shall transmit, in writing, to the Board of Trustees its recommendation for approval, approval with modifications or disapproval. The Planning Board shall include its reasons for such recommendation. The Planning Board shall send a copy of its recommendation to the owner. Failure of the Planning Board to act within 45 days of receipt of the development plan will constitute a no-recommendation opinion by the Planning Board and will permit the owner to submit the development plan directly to the Board of Trustees.
Within 45 days of receipt of the Planning Board's recommendation, the Board of Trustees shall decide to approve, approve with modifications or conditions or disapprove the development plan.
If the Board of Trustees approves the development plan as submitted, an appropriate notation to that effect will be made on the face of five copies of the development plan. One copy will be retained by the Village Clerk, one copy will be given to the Planning Board, one copy will be given to the Code Enforcement Officer, one copy will be given to County Planning Department, and one copy will be returned to the owner.
In the event that the Board of Trustees approves the development plan subject to conditions or modifications, the resolution granting such conditional approval shall indicate the specific conditions or modifications which final approval is subject to and the time period in which such modifications or conditions must be satisfied for final approval to be granted. In such case, the Board of Trustees shall notify the owner, in writing, of the reasons for its decision.
In the event that the Board of Trustees disapproves the development plan, the resolution denying such approval shall indicate the reasons for such decision. In such case, the Board of Trustees shall notify the owner, in writing, of the reasons for its decision.
