Preapplication conference. A request for a preapplication conference shall be submitted, along with the appropriate preapplication fee, to the Zoning Administrator. The intent of the preapplication conference is for the applicant to obtain a general awareness of the Town's planning rationale, the compatibility of the proposed PUD with existing and anticipated land uses in the vicinity, and a familiarity with the Town's PUD procedures. The conference assists the applicant in determining the suitability of a proposed PUD in the proposed location, without incurring the expense of preparation of a PUD concept plan. The conference will be an informal meeting with the Town Board at a workshop session, open to the public, and included on its agenda in advance of the meeting. The Planning Board shall be invited to attend this conference. The preapplication conference is mandatory, but does not require the filing of a PUD concept plan or plat.

PUD concept plan submission. A PUD concept plan is a detailed plan that shows the proposed use and scale, density and intensity of use for all uses of all lands within the PUD in accordance with the information requirements in subsections §§ 108-7.4 and 108-30. An application for approval of the PUD concept plan shall be submitted, along with the appropriate application fee, to the Zoning Administrator as set forth in the current fee schedule adopted by the Town Board. The Zoning Administrator shall ascertain that all filing requirements have been met and if so shall forward the application document simultaneously to the Town Board and the Planning Board. If the PUD is to be phased, a PUD concept plan for each phase shall be submitted as part of the initial submission.

Planning Board review of PUD concept plan. The Planning Board shall review the application for compliance with the standards set forth in § 108-7.5 of this chapter. At its first regular meeting after timely submission of an administratively complete application, the Planning Board shall entertain a presentation of the project by the applicant, review the application materials and the PUD concept plan, and review the EAF or DEIS submitted by the applicant. All PUD applications shall be considered Type I actions under SEQRA requiring coordinated review. The Planning Board shall be lead agency for purposes of SEQRA review. At is first meeting, the Planning Board shall determine all other involved agencies, including the Town Board, based on the material submitted by the applicant, and shall resolve to circulate a lead agency letter to all other involved and interested agencies as required by SEQRA. Upon completion of its SEQRA review, the Planning Board shall forward a report to the Town Board of the Planning Board's findings and recommendations regarding the PUD concept plan. The Town Board and the Planning Board are encouraged to hold joint meetings during the PUD concept plan and SEQRA review. The Town Board may hold separate workshop meetings on the PUD concept plan, or may attend the Planning Board meetings.

Town Board action on the PUD concept plan. Within 62 days of receipt of the report of the Planning Board on the PUD concept plan, the Town Board shall hold a public hearing on the proposed PUD concept plan, which public hearing may be combined with a public hearing on the DEIS held by the Planning Board. Public notice shall be required in the same manner as provided in § 108-8.3C. The Town Board shall, within 62 days of the close of the public hearing, approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the PUD concept plan, provided that the Planning Board has first completed the environmental review process under SEQRA. The decision of the Town Board shall be final and shall be supported by written findings. The decision of the Town Board shall be forwarded to the Planning Board for further action. If the PUD concept plan is disapproved, there shall be no further proceedings by the Planning Board. If the PUD concept plan is approved or approved with conditions, the Planning Board shall proceed in accordance with such determination.

Planning Board review of final development plan. Upon receiving the Town Board's approval, with or without conditions, the applicant shall submit a final development plan, in the same manner and level of detail as a site plan, to the Planning Board for approval. If the development is to be phased, the final development plan shall include a development plan for each phase. The final development plan is a detailed development plan prepared to scale showing accurately and with complete dimensioning the boundaries of a site and the location of all buildings, structures, land uses, and principal site development features. The submittal requirements are set forth in the following section.

The time within which the Planning Board or Town Board must render its decision may be extended by mutual consent of the applicant and the Planning Board or Town Board.
