§ 180-18 Planned Development Districts.
[Amended 6-15-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004]
The regulations for planned development districts are intended to provide a means for the development of entirely new residential, commercial parks or estates in which certain economies of scale or creative architectural or planning concepts may be utilized by the developer without departing from the spirit and intent of this chapter. In no case shall the regulations of this section be so interpreted as to circumvent the benefits of this chapter to the residents or occupants of such development or the residents or occupants of adjoining properties. Planned development districts as defined herein may be established only in accordance with the procedure specified in this section. However, if the Village Board of Trustees determines that the proposal does not merit review because it does not meet the objectives of this Chapter 180 and/or the Village's Comprehensive (Master) Plan, it shall so notify the applicant, shall not refer the application to the Planning Board, and no further action on the application shall be taken.
A.
The minimum size for a planned development district shall be not less than five acres for residential development; not less than three acres for commercial development; and no minimum size for "cottage zoning." The calculation of such land area shall not include existing streets, easements, parks or otherwise indicated land or water areas in excess of 5% of the minimum gross acreage; lands officially designated on the Official Map of the Village or County, as they may be prepared, for public purposes; or lands undevelopable by reason of topography, drainage or adverse subsoil conditions. Sites proposed for development for two or more use classifications shall consist of the aggregate gross land area required for each use. The proposed development shall conform to the Master Plan.
[Added 3-6-2006]
B.
Application for establishment of a planned development district shall be made to the Village Board. The Village Board shall refer the application to the Village Planning Board within 30 days of the date of application. The Planning Board shall require the applicant to furnish basic site data pertaining to the boundaries of the proposed planned development, existing zoning, the topography and subsoil conditions, and such preliminary plans as may be required for an understanding of the proposed development, with the petitions for any desired zoning changes.
C.
The Planning Board may require such changes in said preliminary plans as are found to be necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter. The Board may make such additional requirements as are deemed reasonably necessary to protect the orderly growth and sound development of the Village. In reaching its decision on the proposed development and changes, if any, in the preliminary plans, the Planning Board shall consider among other things the following:
(1)
The need for the proposed land use in the proposed location.
(2)
The existing character of the neighborhood in which the use would be located.
(3)
The location of principal and accessory buildings on the site in relation to one another.
(4)
The pedestrian circulation and open space in relation to structures.
(5)
The traffic circulation features within the site and the amount, location and access to automobile parking areas.
(6)
The height and bulk of buildings and their relation to other structures in the vicinity.
(7)
The proposed location, type and size of display signs, driveways, loading zones and landscaping.
(8)
The safeguards provided to minimize possible detrimental effects of the proposed use on adjacent properties and the neighborhood in general.
(9)
Such other matters as the Planning Board may consider pertinent.
D.
The Planning Board shall approve, approve with modifications or disapprove such application and shall report its findings to the Village Board within 60 days following the date the Planning Board determines the application to be complete. Such period may be extended upon mutual consent.
E.
The Village Board shall hold a public hearing on the proposal, with public notice, as provided by law, as in the case of an amendment to this chapter.
F.
The Village Board may then amend this chapter so as to define the boundaries of the planned development district. Such action shall have effect only of granting permission for development of the specific proposed use in accordance with the preliminary plans filed with the Village Board. Such amendment of this chapter shall not constitute or imply a permit for construction or approval of construction plans.
G.
In the event that the Planning Board has disapproved such proposal or approved it with modifications which the applicant is unwilling to make, an affirmative vote of not less than 4/5 of the members of the Village Board shall be required to establish such planned development district.
H.
If construction work on the proposed development is not begun within the period of time specified by the Village Board, approval of the application shall become null and void, and all rights thereunder shall lapse and the land shall be deemed subject to the same regulations and restrictions as were effective before such approval, unless the Village Board, for good cause, authorizes an extension of either period. Such extension may be authorized without a public hearing.
I.
All conditions imposed by the Village Board, including those the performance of which are conditions precedent to the issuance of any permit necessary for the development of any part of the entire site, shall run with the land and shall not lapse or be waived as a result of any subsequent change in the tenancy or ownership of any of all said area. Such conditions shall be part of any certificate of occupancy issued for any use or structure in such development.
J.
Planned developments shall include the following:
(1)
Street rights-of-way not less than 50 feet in width.
(2)
Pavement in the center of the right-of-way not less than 20 feet wide or 40 feet if curbs are installed.
(3)
Provision for surface draining to catch basins.
(4)
Underground storm sewers, including catch basins leading to an approved outfall.
(5)
Water mains connected to the nearest approved point on the Village water system, with taps and laterals at each occupancy.
(6)
In the case of one single-family dwelling only, where a Village sewer line is not immediately available at the site at the time of construction, a temporary permit may be issued for use of septic tanks and drainage fields constructed in accordance with the regulations of the Board of Health of the State of New York.
[Amended 2-5-1992 by L.L. No. 1-1992]
K.

Editor's Note: Subsection K was repealed 3-6-2006.
L.
The applicant shall reimburse the Village for all engineering and other professional fees incurred in review of the development project. The Village Board shall require payment by the applicant of an amount equal to the estimate cost of such professional fees to be held in escrow by the Village, which estimated cost shall be paid prior to the Village incurring any professional costs.
[Added by L.L. No. 1-2004 ]
M.
Sunset provision.
(1)
In the event any of the following actions are not taken within three years from the effective date of any planned development district ("PDD") established under this article, such PDD shall be deemed null and void, and the zoning of these lands shall revert to their zoning classification existing immediately prior to such effective date:
(a)
Site plan approval for the PDD has not been obtained;
(b)
No building permit has been issued for construction of any structure provided for in any such planned development; or
(c)
Construction of any such structure has not been commenced on any lands within such planned development.

Where any specific provision regarding automatic termination of a PDD has been established within a given PDD ordinance or local law, which provision conflicts with this chapter, that specific provision shall control for that PDD.
(3)
The provisions above notwithstanding, the Village Board may, by resolution, lengthen the length of time prior to termination of a specific PDD up to a maximum of two years.
