(A)

Where, by the terms of this chapter, site plan review is required, no building permit shall be issued for the purpose of erecting, altering or converting any structure or building, or any part thereof, or altering the use of any land until after the Town Commission shall approve the site plan in accordance with this chapter, except for site plan review of statues and/or sculptures, which shall be performed by the Architectural Commission in accordance with the applicable provisions of this chapter and chapter 152.

(B)

The primary purpose of the site plan review process is to examine for potential adverse impact on the adjacent area, neighborhood or Town, those uses having characteristics identified as possessing the potential for negative impact, and to ensure such uses are located, sited and designed that they may result in a positive contribution to their area, neighborhood and Town.

(C)

To achieve these purposes, the Town Commission (or the Architectural Commission, in the case of site plan review for statues and/or sculptures) may, after detailed review of the site plan and its potential off-site impact, impose such operational and/or design conditions as will eliminate or minimize such impact. Such conditions shall reflect the review criteria set forth in this chapter.
