No PDA approval shall hereafter become valid until a local law is adopted implementing and approving such PDA, each of which such local laws shall adopt and implement such regulations as the Town Board shall deem advisable, as based in whole or in part upon the recommendations of the Planning Board in relation to such PDA, and which local law shall define such PDA and place it numerically within the body of Article XIV of this chapter.

§ 270-65 Required descriptions.

Every PDA that is included within this chapter and which is thus then authorized and allowed shall contain, at a minimum, a description of each of the following in relation to the allowed land uses and regulations:

Any special definitions for land uses, particularly including any definitions as vary from the general definitions already set forth in this chapter;

The allowed principal and supplementary or accessory land uses;

Any yardage, setback requirements, or density regulations or requirements;

Maximum building coverage, height, or size, or the maximum number of dwelling units within each such building;

The principal requirements for traffic management, including roadways, parking areas, public highways, pedestrian and other ways, including the potential construction, development, maintenance, and/or dedication of the same;

Landscaping plans and buffering requirements;

Allowed building materials and architectural details, including coloration and visibility of project elements, including buildings and structures;

Any lighting or signage plans or constructs;

Provisions addressing the adequacy and provision of water and sewer services, stormwater, and other required services and infrastructure;

Any rules relative to mixed uses within any one building or structure and within the PDA itself;

The preservation, conservation, or use of wetlands or other significant natural areas or features;

Any phasing plan or developmental timetable and the issuance of future approvals or permits relating to the same, including a definition or designation of such uses or changes in use that may require special permits, site plan review, or amendments to this chapter; and

Any other matter relevant to such PDA or necessary to give effect to such local law.

§ 270-66 Construction and interpretation.

The provisions of this article shall not diminish or impair the right of any other governmental agency or body to require that any act be taken or avoided. No permit, grandfather right, resolution, procedure, or rule pertaining to zoning or land use shall supersede the requirements of this article. This article is intended to supplement and augment the requirements of zoning and land use regulations and rules of the Town of Lansing and thus shall be read in harmony therewith. In the event of a conflict as to applicable zoning rules, the requirements of this article shall apply to land uses and related rights and activities with respect to any PDA listed within this article.

[2]

Whenever located above ground; or

[3]

No additional buildings shall be permitted within this PDA/zone without site plan review unless the same is a defined accessory structure with less than 100 feet² of overall floor and foundational space. For the purposes of clarity, an eight-foot-by-eight-foot structure with two floors would require site plan review as it would have 128 feet² of combined floor/foundational space.

A maximum total of 572 dwelling units shall be permitted within the PDA, each as sited and located substantially where indicated upon the updated PDA plat and site plan narrative dated May 22, 2017, showing the configuration and reconfiguration of project phases and the replacement plans pertaining to the removal of, and reconstruction of new facilities thereupon, as follows: i) building numbers 2, 22, 102, 116, which are to be reconstructed upon similar footprints as existing buildings that are to be removed; and ii) buildings K, L, M and 36 and 117 to be reoriented and relocated to have passive insolation benefits and conform to the overall PDA plan as set forth upon and in the updated PDA plat and site plan narrative dated May 22, 2017, which amends and supplements a prior approved narrative of March 30, 2017. In the event of any conflict between this § 270-67 and any narratives, such conflict shall be resolved by giving weight in the following order: first to this § 270-67; then to the May 22, 2017, narrative; and then to the March 30, 2017, narrative, application, and related materials.

Roadway, parking, trail, and pathway requirements are as follows:

(1)

There shall be a minimum 1.25 parking spaces provided for each residential dwelling, and such parking shall be adjacent or near to such residential dwelling(s).

The following requirements apply to the provision of water services, sewer services, and stormwater within the PDA:

(1)

Water and sewer. No building permits shall be issued unless the plans therefor comply with law and there is demonstrated compliance herewith, including verification of sewer and water capacities to serve the PDA. Usage is capped at 572 units (or equivalent) unless subjected to further review by the Town. All sewerage services are similarly capped, and all such services remain subject to the terms of the "Intermunicipal Wastewater Transportation and Treatment Agreement," dated March 8, 2010, by and between the Town of Lansing and the Villages of Lansing and Cayuga Heights.

(2)

Water and sewer dedication. All waterlines and appurtenant infrastructure shall be dedicated in a form as approved by the Town, along and together with accompanying easements and rights-of-way to the CWD. Similarly, all sewer lines and appurtenances shall be dedicated to the Town or any applicable sewer district or improvement area, together with accompanying easements in a form as approved by the Town. The developer shall submit as-built maps or surveys as required by Bolton Point and the Town showing the location and basic descriptive parameters and elevations of all improvements so installed, and all such dedications shall occur after construction and installation, after all permits have been obtained, after all permit conditions are duly met, including permits from the Tompkins County Health Department. All such water and sewer lines and appurtenances shall be subject to inspection and testing and be in operational condition at the time of dedication.

(3)

Stormwater. No certificates of occupancy or compliance (a "CO") shall be issued until after stormwater plans and the SWPPP are duly approved by the Town and NY SPDES permits are issued. If any project or construction plans change, then updated permits and SWPPP calculations are required to be submitted to and approved by the Town and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

(4)

All permanent stormwater facilities and permanent practices shall be required to be substantially constructed, duly inspected, and functional as of the date of issuance of the CO for that particular phase or building, and all stormwater facilities and permanent practices, once built, functioning, inspected, and approved, shall be either dedicated to the Town (or any drainage district formed for this PDA) or made the subject of a stormwater management agreement as duly executed by the developer in a form acceptable to the Town. The determination as to whether to use or proceed by dedication or pursuant to the use of a stormwater management agreement, or some combination of both, shall be made by the Town in its own and sole discretion.

Except for the Community Center building, other community buildings, and the rental offices, residential uses within the PDA shall not be mixed within any one building or structure with any nonresidential uses. As to the Community Center building and other community facilities:

(1)

The Community Center building shall be substantially completed by December 31, 2020 and, until substantially complete, only three of the five building permits for major or large buildings demarked in Phase 4 (building numbers 36, 117, K, L and M) shall issue, and the remaining two building permits shall not be issued until the certificate of occupancy is issued for the Community Center building.

(2)

The other community facilities set forth in the development and landscape plans, including, but not limited to, shared yards, courtyards, trails, pathways, community grills, outdoor community recreation areas, and community fire pits shall be constructed as needed within each phase of the development.

(3)

In the event of any ambiguity the development plan shall control, and each phase shall be fully completed before the next phase begins substantial construction, including all such public infrastructure and supporting facilities within such phase. In all circumstances, all public infrastructure and supporting facilities shall be constructed and substantially installed and completed within one year of the date the last CO is issued for any main building within each phase.

(4)

If the requirements of Subsection L(1), (2) and (3) above are not met, then no additional building permits shall be issued until compliance with such requirements is demonstrated.

All wetlands and significant natural features shall be preserved and enhanced in accord with the development plans.

The updated PDA plat, Landscape Plan, and site plan narrative dated May 22, 2017, outline the proposed phasing of the project. The development of the allowed build-out limit are hereby authorized and allowed, subject to all approvals, permitting, and stormwater requirements, each where applicable or as required.

Any proposed use not specifically herein allowed is expressly prohibited. Any future plan or proposal not here specifically allowed is prohibited unless an amendment to the zoning and development plan are approved through the applicable site planning, special permitting, or variance procedures as outlined in this chapter. In no event may the open space percentage of 40% be reduced; such open space measurement to be expressed as a percentage of land that is undeveloped by buildings or impervious surfaces as compared to the total acreage of the PDA as based upon its boundaries as defined below.

All outdoor recreational uses shall be for passive and nonmotorized recreation. Auxiliary uses relating to such recreation, such as exercise areas, tennis courts, basketball courts, ball fields, gardens, trails, and small covered or stone-paved cooking and picnic pavilions or similar facilities, shall be permitted.

The developer may for good cause request a waiver from the requirements of this article and this § 270-67, including for the obtaining of building permits (or certificates of compliance or occupancy) earlier than would otherwise be authorized hereunder, by applying for such a waiver to the Town Board. If such a waiver is granted, the Town Board may impose such reasonable conditions upon the waiver as it may deem appropriate. The Town Board may, but is not required to, approve any such waiver if the Town Board finds that:

(1)

The plans for the water or sewer lines and appurtenances have been approved by all applicable agencies and are or have been built and duly dedicated, together with necessary access and other easements, and that the SWPPP and stormwater requirements have been adequately addressed.

(2)

There would be a substantial hardship to one or more individuals to delay construction or certificate issuance absent such waiver, and such hardship was not self-created.

(3)

There is proof provided to the Town that there is adequate financial support available to the developer to complete the work, such proof being in the form of a dedicated escrow account, performance bond, letter of credit, or other proof satisfactory and acceptable to the Town as based upon the recommendations of the Town Engineer and the Attorney for the Town.

(4)

Such waiver is the minimum variation from the requirements of this article or § 270-67 as would remediate or lessen such found hardship.

The area encompassing current TPN 39.-1-34, located within the PDA on the Village Circle side of the plan shall be allowed to be appended to and consolidated with TPN 38.-1-38.3 [or other adjacent parcel(s)] and included in the Village Solars side of the development plan.
