[Amended 2-22-2005 by L.L. No. 3-2005]
A.
Purpose.
(1)
These provisions are enacted to provide for increased
housing opportunities and lifestyle options for the Town's senior
citizens. It is hereby recognized that the Town has a high percentage
of senior citizens, and given present economic factors impacting many
seniors, including but not limited to limited or fixed incomes, physical
restrictions, and the rapidly accelerating costs of maintaining a
single-family residence, the Town Board deems it necessary to provide
for such housing within the Town.
(2)
It is the specific purpose and intent of the Senior Citizen Zone District (SC-44) to provide the opportunity within the Town of Southampton for the development on a planned basis of density housing on sites located in reasonable proximity to shopping, medical services, and other community facilities and with access to major roads and public transportation. To help assure the achievement of this goal with proper protection for existing neighborhood development, the Senior Citizen Zone (SC-44) District shall be established on a floating zone basis, subject to approval by the Town Board in each case, with exception of small senior citizen housing developments consisting of 20 units or less which may be by special exception use permit pursuant to § 330-138. Senior Citizen Zone Districts shall be in accordance with an approved preliminary development concept plan, as described and defined herein.

[Added 1-23-2018 by L.L.
No. 4-2018]
[Amended 2-22-2005 by L.L. No. 3-2005]
A.
Location standards. The site should be located within
a convenient distance from a central business district or hamlet center
or village center which provides shopping, access to public transportation,
and community facilities. Generally, all multi-unit developments involving
higher-density prototypes (e.g., townhouses, apartment buildings,
attached housing, etc.) are to be within 1/2 mile of a hamlet center
or village center.
(1)
Hamlet centers and village centers. Hamlet centers and village centers, as defined in § 330-5, are identified in the Town Comprehensive Plan and further classified as "major hamlet centers," "small hamlet centers," "major village centers" and "Town business centers." A Map of Hamlet Centers and Village Centers is on file in the office of the Town Clerk. Hamlet Centers contain zoning districts such as Village Business Districts (VB), Shopping Center Business Districts (SCB), or hamlet-scale mixed-use business districts such as Hamlet Commercial/Residential (HC) which may incorporate a grocery store, community pantry, and personal services. Large senior housing developments may only be permitted if located a short and safe walking distance, no greater than 1/4 mile, from a hamlet center, village center or Shopping Center Business (SCB) District. Medium senior housing developments may only be permitted if located a short and safe walking distance, no greater than 1/2 mile, from a hamlet center, village center or a Shopping Center Business (SCB) District.
(2)
Waivers for small senior housing developments. Waivers
to the above siting requirement are applicable to small senior housing
developments, that is those developments which consist of 20 units
or less as defined herein, provided some other community benefit is
conveyed by such waiver. New York State Town Law defines "community
benefits" to include "housing for low- to moderate-income persons."
(3)
Waivers for large and medium senior housing developments.
In certain cases, waivers to the above siting requirements may be
applicable to medium and large senior housing developments in the
following circumstances only:
(a)
If consistent with a Hamlet Study adopted as
an update to the Town Comprehensive Plan, such as a site identified
for redevelopment or incentive zoning, and if the use of such innovative
planning floating zone also assists the Town in realizing substantial
community benefits. However, the Town Board may find the zoning classification
for the proposed housing development is better accommodated through
the use of planned development district standards.
[1]
The Town's Master Plan recommends the use of
planned development district (PDD) zoning for large senior housing
developments, whereby additional density can be achieved through the
transfer of development rights (TDRs) or Pine Barren Credits (PBCs),
such that there is no substantial increase in the number of dwelling
units or population within the same school district because development
has been redirected in order to channel growth and preserve more ecologically
sensitive lands. TDR's may also originate from parcels determined
to be important to protect community character, including but not
limited to scenic greenways and greenspace within developed neighborhoods
within the same school district. As a change of zone or amendment
to the Zoning Map is a discretionary act by the legislative body,
the Town Board may find that the zoning classification for the proposed
senior housing development is better accommodated through the use
of planned development district standards.
(b)
In limited circumstances, medium senior housing developments may be located on a site which is within a short and safe walking distance no greater than 500 feet from a public transit area as defined in § 330-5 (e.g., municipal bus stop or train station).
(c)
In cases where the proposed senior housing development
is not located a short and safe walking distance from a hamlet center,
village center or a public transit area, the applicant shall provide
a shuttle bus service and/or other transportation mitigation measures.
(d)
Procedure; Town Board findings.
[1]
An applicant seeking a waiver from the aforementioned
location standards shall make such request in writing to the Town
Board with a copy filed in the office of the Town Clerk. The applicant
shall indicate the following:
[a]
A preliminary project description
and the reasons prompting the request for a waiver of aforementioned
location standards.
[b]
The nature of the public benefits
provided by the proposed senior citizen housing development, including
the number of units proposed as set-aside units for low-, moderate-,
or middle-income persons.
[c]
Whether or not the applicant is
or is working with a bona fide nonprofit corporation and guarantees
to develop and maintain a substantial (e.g., 50%) portion of the resultant
housing at a purchase price or tenant cost within the moderate- to
middle-income housing market.
[d]
Whether the site is identified
as a potential site or redevelopment site suitable for multi-unit
housing development or incentive zoning in the Town's Master Plan
or a Hamlet Study or Area Study adopted as an update to the Comprehensive
Plan.
[e]
Whether or not the proposed project
entails transfers of development rights or redemption of Pine Barrens
Credits (PBCs) to achieve additional density or yield.
[2]
A waiver of the aforementioned location standards
may be granted by the Town Board after a public hearing. Should the
Town Board, in the exercise of its discretion, choose to consider
a Senior Citizen Zone change of zone, pursuant to this article, and
a waiver from the aforementioned location standards is sought, the
public hearing on the waiver may be combined with the public hearing
on the change of zone. The notice of any such combined hearing must
include a specific reference to both the change of zone and the waiver
sought.
[Amended 3-25-2008 by L.L. No. 15-2008]
[3]
The Town Board may only authorize a waiver of the aforementioned location standards by resolution, following a public hearing and a favorable determination based on the criteria noted in Subsection A(3)(d)[4] below and may request an advisory report from the Town Planning and Development Administrator.
[Amended 3-25-2008 by L.L. No. 15-2008]
[4]
In deciding whether or not to authorize a waiver
of the aforementioned location standards, the Town Board shall consider
the following:
[a]
Based upon the preliminary project
description, the appropriateness of the site, environmental considerations,
and the proposed development design to accommodate such an increased
density.
[b]
The nature or the public benefits
conveyed by the waiver, including the provision of housing within
the means of low- to moderate-income persons.
[c]
Whether the proposed housing development
will have a significant negative impact on a special assessment district.
[d]
Whether the proposed housing development
incorporates design elements which meld with the existing neighborhood
and hamlet character, if desirable
[e]
Whether or not the proposed housing
development involves the transfer of development rights or redemption
of Pine Barrens Credits (PBCs) or a cash-in-lieu amount equivalent
to ensure off-site preservation or acquisition of interests in land
in order to achieve the development yield or higher density, excluding
any requisite below-market-rate units reserved for persons of low,
moderate, or middle income with long-term affordability restrictions
proposed by covenants and restrictions.
[5]
The findings by the Town Board and all conditions
associated with a waiver shall be specified in the resolution noted
in Subparagraph b above. The Town Board may require supplemental design
standards, TDRs or additional affordable set-aside units or other
community benefits, and other mitigation measures.
[6]
A resolution authorizing a waiver of location
standards shall be contingent upon a favorable change-of-zone approval
to Senior Citizen Zone following a thorough review of the project's
benefits and potential impacts pursuant to other provisions of this
chapter. A waiver of location standards shall run concurrently with
any expiration deadlines associated with a change-of-zone approval
for the establishment of the Senior Citizen Zone. In the event an
applicant withdraws his application or fails to receive change-of-zone
approval for a Senior Citizen Zone, the waiver of location standards
shall be considered null and void.
B.
Existing neighborhood. Due consideration shall be
given to the existing neighborhood and historic buildings or sites
on or near the site, so as to ensure that new development complements
the existing residential neighborhood and commercial areas in an aesthetic
manner.
C.
Minimum site size. The site shall be of sufficient
size and shape so as to provide for the required buffer areas which
are intended to screen the development from adjacent properties, the
road corridor, and the railroad right-of-way, as necessary. The minimum
site size required for the establishment of a Senior Citizen Zone
shall be three acres or 120,000 square feet, but, in any case, the
site shall be of such shape, dimension, topography and location as
will allow for an appropriate and attractive development with proper
setbacks, screening and a harmonious relationship with adjoining land
uses and the natural physical terrain.
D.
Water supply and sewage disposal. Senior housing developments
shall be served by public water. The site shall be well drained and
have soils capable of handling septic wastes without endangering adjacent
properties or the water supply. All necessary approvals shall be obtained
from the Suffolk County Department of Health Services for sewage disposal
and water supply. Adequacy of water supply for fire protection (e.g.,
fire flow) shall be determined by the Fire Department having jurisdiction.
E.
Site topography. Site topography shall not exceed
five-percent slope, except for natural buffer areas.
F.
Traffic access. The site shall have direct frontage
on an improved, existing state, county, or Town road having a right-of-way
of at least 50 feet in width. To the extent practicable, the road
frontage for the proposed senior housing development should be upon
a road which is listed in the Town Comprehensive Plan as a major arterial,
minor arterial, major collector road, or minor collector road.
G.
Underground utilities. All utilities within any senior
housing development shall be placed underground, including electric,
telephone and cable telephone service.
H.
Floodplain restrictions. Sites lying wholly within
a floodplain shall not be considered.
I.
Permitted density. The permitted density within a Senior Citizen Zone shall be no more than that noted in § 330-11, Residence Districts Table of Dimensional Requirements, provided that the method of sewage treatment is approved by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. An applicant or developer of a Senior Citizen Zone is not entitled to the maximum number of housing units described within § 330-11. The allowable density, up to the calculated maximum number of housing units for the subject site, is at the discretion of the Town Board, based upon evaluation of the proposed development plan's impacts and benefits, and density incentives permitted to further community planning objectives as described in the Town of Southampton Comprehensive Plan.
J.
Findings by the Town Board.
(1)
In determining whether to grant a zone change to Senior
Citizen Zone, the Town Board, in addition to its usual discretion
in considering a change of zone, shall also consider the need for
additional senior housing in the particular hamlet, the nature and
extent to which the applicant intends to provide moderate-income housing
units, the appropriateness of the site, environmental considerations,
the proposed development design to accommodate such an increased density,
and any potentially significant negative impacts to any special assessment
district in which the proposed development is located. In addition,
the Town Board shall find that the housing development is consistent
with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, will be beneficial,
compatible and harmonious with the surrounding land uses and will
not have a significant adverse impact upon the environment, or upon
a special assessment district in which the site is located.
(2)
As a change of zone or amendment to the Zoning Map
is a discretionary act by the legislative body, the Town Board may
find that any development or redevelopment of the property is best
accommodated under its existing zoning or an alternative zoning overlay
district or zoning classification.
[Amended 4-27-2010 by L.L. No. 15-2010]
The SC-44 Zone shall be limited to occupancy
by:

buffers and fencing shall be made by the Planning Board in its site
plan review, based on the characteristics of the site and the nature
of adjacent lands.
E.
Recreation. There shall be set aside an area or areas
for outdoor recreational purposes exclusively for the use of the occupants
and their guests. These areas may include, but are not limited to,
sitting areas and group game areas. Such areas shall be shown on the

recreation must be provided, improved, constructed and maintained
at the expense of the owner/landlord. Landscaped areas not improved
for recreational purposes and walkways, driveways and parking areas
shall not be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this article. In
addition, a minimum of 10 square feet per dwelling unit of indoor
recreational area must also be provided. Such area shall not be used
for storage or any such similar purpose and shall be available to
all occupants and their guests. The indoor recreational area shall

to the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and Fair Housing Act
(FHA). "Universal design" is a flexible, inclusive process aimed at
enabling all occupants access regardless of size, age, or abilities,
including but not limited to accessibility code compliance. The diverse
needs of the development's population should be accommodated in a
cost-effective yet dignified and pleasant manner assuring a convenient,
safe, and secure environment for all persons residing in such development,
whether active or physically challenged, youthful or elderly.
(1)
Due consideration shall be given in planning walks,
ramps and driveways to prevent slipping or stumbling, and handrails
and ample places for rest shall be provided. Gradients of walks shall
not exceed 5% and single riser grade changes in walks shall not be
permitted, unless it is impractical to do so because of terrain or
unusual circumstances of the site. All outdoor areas available to
residents shall permit such residents to move about without danger
and with minimum effort.
H.
Architectural design. All construction shall be subject to the review of the Board of Architectural Review, pursuant to Article XIX of this chapter, or its successor. The design and location of all site improvements and all buildings must be consistent with the ultimate purpose of achieving independent, self-reliant and pleasant living arrangements for older persons. Building prototypes and design shall reflect indigenous architecture, and shall be built with consideration to the special character of Southampton as a rural and resort community. Particularly for large developments comprised of townhouses or detached single-family units, in choice of exterior finish, care shall be taken to avoid the appearance of a development in which all units appear exactly the same.
I.
General maintenance and services. Adequate facilities
shall be provided for the removal of snow, trash and garbage and for
the general maintenance of the development. When the method of disposing
of trash and other solid wastes is by means of industrial-type receptacles
(dumpsters), all such receptacles shall be located on permanent platforms
which shall be well distributed to serve the development. All receptacles
shall be suitably enclosed on three sides by aesthetic opaque screening,
and the open portion of the receptacle enclosure shall not be within
50 feet of any window in a habitable dwelling unit.

provide illumination sufficient for the convenience and safety of
the residents. However, such outdoor lighting shall not project light
onto, nor shall light sources be visible from, adjacent properties.
No outdoor light source shall be more than 10 feet above the ground
level underneath it.
K.
Fire protection. The site plans for senior housing developments shall provide access for firefighting equipment and personnel and shall provide hydrants in such number and location and with such water pressure as may be determined adequate by the Planning Board, based upon the recommendation of the Town Engineer and the Fire Department having jurisdiction. An emergency alarm device equipped with audio and visual features shall be provided in each dwelling unit. In the interest of public safety, key boxes for emergency access are required in certain circumstances involving electronic security driveway gates within SC-44 site plans (e.g., gated community) and shall be in conformance with the requirements of the public safety agencies providing the primary fire protection and emergency medical services to the location. Compliance with the provisions of Chapter 330, Article XXX, Driveway Standards, is also required.
[Amended 7-28-2009 by L.L. No. 32-2009]
L.
Storage. For the convenience of the residents of the
development, provision shall be made for general storage of bulky
items, such as trunks.
M.
Supervision. Where full-time, twenty-four-hour superintendency
services are not provided, there shall be posted within each dwelling
unit a twenty-four-hour emergency phone number at which either managerial
