This "district" is established for the purpose
of allowing an appropriate location in Pound Ridge for the permitted
conduct of a "landscape nursery and garden center," which is determined
to be a convenience business function closely related to the Town's
primary residential land "use" pattern and harmonious with its character.
For convenience in administration and for the better understanding of this chapter and in order to assure that all development is appropriately located on individual lots" so as to achieve the purposes established in Article I of this chapter, the permitted "uses" and bulk requirements for the "Landscape Nursery and Garden Center" "District" have been incorporated into the accompanying schedules entitled "Schedule of Use Regulations, Nonresidential Districts, § 113-41" and "Schedule of Bulk Regulations, § 113-37" and are referred to herein as "Use Schedule" and "Bulk Schedule," respectively.[1]

Editor's Note: Said Schedule of Use Regulations,
Nonresidential Districts, and Schedule of Bulk Regulations are located
at the end of this chapter.
A.
Setbacks. All "buildings," "structures," storage areas
and parking facilities shall be set back at least 100 feet from all
"street" property lines.
B.
Buffer areas. Where determined necessary or appropriate
by the Planning Board as a part of the site plan review process, evergreen-landscaped
buffer areas may be required to screen the nonresidential "uses" on
the property from neighboring "streets" or residences. Where a landscape
buffer is required by the Board, it may consist of nursery stock for
sale or display.
C.
Distance between "buildings." Enclosed "buildings"
shall be separated by a distance equal to at least 1/2 the average
"height" of the "buildings" at their point of closest proximity, but
in no case less than 10 feet.
A.
Site plan approval by the Planning Board is mandatory
for any expansion or change in a "landscape nursery and garden center"
which would result in an increased intensity of "use," as measured
by the amount of off-"street" "parking space" required and for the
construction of any new or expanded "buildings" or any significant
change in the traffic and parking pattern or any relocation or increase
in the area of any outdoor storage, sales or display areas or any
other modification of a site plan previously approved by the Planning
Board.
B.
Where site plan approval is required, no permit or
certificate shall be issued by the Building Inspector in connection
therewith until and unless a plan shall have been reviewed and approved
by the Planning Board. All site development and "use" of the property
shall be fully in conformance with the approved site plan and such
additional standards and safeguards as are imposed on such property
as a condition of site plan approval. Continued conformance with the
approved site development plan shall be required as a condition of
the continuance of the certificate of conformance and certificate
of occupancy. Failure to so maintain or continue conformance shall
be cause for the revocation or removal of any such certificate of
conformance and certificate of occupancy and the immediate discontinuance
of the approved "use."
