A new Chapter
206 of the Village of North Syracuse Code entitled "Cluster Development" is hereby enacted.
The Village of North Syracuse Board has determined that due to the minimal
available residential zoned open land in the Village of North Syracuse, it
is important to encourage and provide for innovations in new residential developments,
particularly cluster developments, which provide for a greater variety in
type, design and layout of dwellings, the conservation and more efficient
use of usable space in relation to new dwellings and integration of undevelopable
areas into the total development plan for use as open space; the Village of
North Syracuse must seek to authorize the Planning Commission to approve developments
on such sites in order to ensure full compliance with the foregoing premises
and to prevent, to the maximum extent possible, environmental harm.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT
A residential development in which dwelling units are concentrated
in a selected area or areas of the development tract so as to provide natural
habitat or open space uses on the remainder of such development or project,
in compliance with Village Law § 7-738.
