A.
It is the intent to provide through the multiple-family
dwelling units, as specified in the R-5 Districts, a further choice
in housing than is available in the other residential zoning districts.
The multiple-family dwelling units should not be single-family or
two-family type unattached units, but the design should provide compatibility
with existing dwellings nearby and with future development in the
Town. Since the concentration of population will normally be greater
for multiple-family dwelling units than for adjacent single-family
dwellings, the regulations for multiple-family dwellings include compensating
features such as greater setbacks and wider side yards, screening
of parking areas and adjacent properties, adequate off-street parking,
recreation areas and other features.
B.
In order to maintain the quality of the human and
natural environment for multiple-family dwellings, these regulations
have been related to one or more of the following environmental factors:
character of the surrounding residential development or zoning; privacy;
visual environment; traffic and parking control; natural light; ventilation;
noise control; recreation facilities; and air and water pollution.
C.
In addition to the definitions enumerated in § 155-3, when used in this section, unless otherwise stated or unless the context or subject matter otherwise requires, the following words shall have the definitions provided herein:
- BEDROOM
- A room used for sleeping on a regular basis in a dwelling unit other than a kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom or closet, and including extra kitchens, extra dining rooms, extra living rooms and all dens, game rooms, sun rooms or similar extra rooms.
- RECREATIONAL AREA
- That portion of the usable district space developed and maintained for recreational activities, including but not limited to swimming, tennis courts and playground equipment. Open land areas designed for passive recreation are not includable in the "recreational area," although they may otherwise qualify as part of the usable district space.
- UNUSABLE DISTRICT SPACE
- Any part of the lot area which has more than a fifteen-percent slope as finally graded (except when waived by the Planning Board as hereinafter provided) or is subject to periodic flooding or is not an integral part of an overall development plan.
- USABLE DISTRICT SPACE
- That part of the lot area not classified as unusable district space which is used for dwelling structures, accessory uses and structures, streets, sidewalks, parking and active and passive recreation and is an integral part of the overall development plan.

[Added 2-27-2008 by L.L. No. 1-2008]
A.
Purpose and intent.
(1)
The Town Board recognizes that the development
of certain commercial uses may be consistent with the Town's land
use goals and restrictions in the Town's Restricted Agricultural District,
Industrial and Commercial A Districts. Therefore, the Town Board pursuant
to its zoning powers hereby creates a Technology Development/Office
Overlay Zone (TDO). The TDO is intended to allow for the controlled
development of uses outlined herein on relatively larger parcels of
land. The dimensional requirements contained herein are intended to
encourage green space on the proposed development site and to create
an orderly scheme of development to physically separate the uses allowed
herein to the maximum extent possible.
(2)
The overlay of the TDO by an applicant shall require a zone change by the Town Board, pursuant to Article VII of this chapter, and shall be made in conformity with the applicable provisions of local law and Town Law, including, but not limited to, notice and a public hearing.
(3)
The TDO rezoning applications will be submitted
on a voluntary basis by applicants. However, the Town Board may, on
its own motion, rezone property to a TDO District.
B.
Eligible sites. The floating TDO Overlay Zone may
only be in those districts in the Town zoned Restricted Agricultural
(RA), Industrial (ID)and Commercial A (CA).
C.
Dimensional requirements.
(1)
No parcel of real property may be zoned as a
TDO District unless the parcel is owned by a single person, limited
liability company, corporation, trust or similar legal entity and:
(a)
The subject parcel is at least 30 contiguous
acres in area;
(b)
The parcel has at least 200 foot of frontage
on a public road;
(c)
The building coverage area (including paved
areas) is less than 35% of the entire acreage of the subject parcel;
(d)
All structures or proposed structures are less than 30 feet in height, except taller structures may be allowed upon the granting of a special permit pursuant to § 155-27 of this chapter; and
(e)
All setbacks shall comply with the underlying
zoning requirements.
(2)
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Town
of Manlius Code, in the event that there is a conflict between this
section and another section of the Town of Manlius Code, the dimensional
requirements of this section shall control.
D.
Permitted uses. All uses permitted in the Town's underlying RA, ID and CA districts are allowed in the TDO, subject to the same restrictions. In addition, the following uses shall be permitted in a TDO after site plan approval has been provided pursuant to § 155-28 of this chapter:
(1)
Educational facility;
(2)
Government facilities;
(3)
Packaging of pharmaceutical and/or food products;
(4)
Religious use;
(5)
Business office(s);
(6)
Day-care center;

(13)
Warehouse, service and sales establishments,
where integrated with and supportive of one of the above TDO structures
and uses and upon specific findings of the Planning Board that such
establishment is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the TDO
and is not unreasonably detrimental to neighboring properties, areas
and districts.
E.
Application procedure and approval process. Application
for change of zone to a TDO requires and shall include:
(1)
Application made to the Town Board for zone
change;
(2)
An application for zone change shall include
a written description of the proposed development, a legal description
of the subject parcel, and be in a form sufficient to enable the Town
Board to evaluate the applicant's proposal for its consistency with
the purpose of this section and the Town's land use goals.
(3)
Upon receipt of a completed application for
zone change, the Town Board will process, review and may approve or
disapprove the rezoning application in accordance with the provisions
of this chapter, Town Law and other applicable laws.
(4)
The Town Board, at its discretion, may attach
any reasonable conditions on an approval of a rezoning to TDO as necessary
to assure conformance with the intent and purposes of this chapter,
and to fully protect the public health, safety and welfare of the
Town.
(5)
If the rezoning is granted, the approved TDO
floating zone shall be so noted on the Town's Zoning Map.
(8)
The Town Board and/or Planning Board shall process
the special use permit and/or site plan application in accordance
with the applicable provisions of this chapter. Approval of a special
use permit and/or site plan may not occur until, and unless, the requested
change of zone to TDO is approved.
A.
Neighborhood Shopping Districts are intended to permit
the development of small-scale commercial, retail and personal service
establishments in convenient proximity to residential neighborhoods
while at the same time minimizing potential impact and disruption
that the uncontrolled introduction of such uses into residential neighborhoods
could have.
B.
Permitted uses.
(1)
The following structures and uses only shall be permitted in Neighborhood Shopping Districts upon the issuance of a site plan approval by the Town Planning Board pursuant to Article IV, § 155-28:
[Amended 5-22-2002 by Ord. No. 2002-5]
(a)
Retail establishments with associated drive-through
services and/or associated outdoor display of goods, including grocery
stores, drug stores, department stores, specialty shops and shops
for the sale of general merchandise at retail.
(b)
Personal service stores, including barbershops,
beauty parlors, shoe repair shops, appliance repair shops, laundromats,
dry cleaners and businesses providing similar services of a personal
nature.
(c)
Business offices, including professional offices,
banking offices, including walk-up and drive-through services, finance,
insurance, real estate, legal, medical, dental, governmental and utility
service offices.
(d)
A public garage, gas station or the open storage
or sale of automobiles shall be prohibited.
(e)
Indoor theaters, game rooms and other places of entertainment and restaurants serving patrons indoors, but not including establishments serving their customers with food or drink for consumption outside the establishment in the open air or in parked cars and only upon the granting of a special permit pursuant to Article IV, § 155-27.
(2)
Nothing herein set forth shall be deemed to prevent
the inclusion of two or more permitted uses in the same building.
C.
No Neighborhood Shopping District shall exceed 15
acres and shall be further limited to a maximum average of 10,000
square feet of floor space per acre. Any structure within a Neighborhood
Shopping District shall be set back a minimum of 50 feet from any
adjoining property line of property zoned residential or restricted
agricultural. A minimum of 30 feet immediately adjoining any such
property line shall consist of a landscaped buffer, appropriate to
the circumstances, as approved by the Planning Board.
D.
All service areas within a Neighborhood Shopping District,
such as those for the loading and unloading of merchandise, the delivery
of food and equipment and the collection and pickup of garbage, shall
be located a minimum of 100 feet from any adjoining property line
of property zoned residential or restricted agricultural. If, due
to unique and unusual circumstances at a Neighborhood Shopping District
site, it would impose a substantial hardship upon the owner to locate
such service areas 100 feet from any adjoining property line of property
zoned residential or restricted agricultural, the Planning Board may,
in its discretion, permit such service areas to be located closer
than 100 feet from such property lines. Any such reduction of the
one-hundred-foot setback requirement shall be the minimum necessary
to relieve the hardship. Even where such hardship is shown, no such
service areas shall be located closer than 50 feet to any such adjoining
property line. All service areas shall be screened from sight by appropriate
fencing, and such additional steps shall be taken as are necessary
to minimize or, if possible, eliminate the impact of noise and light
on adjoining residential properties.
E.
All signage should be in accordance with § 155-25 of the Manlius Town Code subject to the following: All signage, including requests for freestanding signs, shall be subject to site plan review by the Planning Board and shall be reviewed by the Planning Board to ensure that signage design is consistent with the design principles which predominate among the existing and proposed buildings within the zone and the surrounding area, including residential, and will not adversely affect the desirability of the immediate and surrounding area, including residential. Design principles to be addressed include, but are not limited to, the suitability of design and type of proposed sign, including height, line, color and texture of materials to be used in relation to the immediate and surrounding area, including residential.
[Added 5-22-2002 by Ord. No. 2002-5]
F.
Freestanding signs shall not exceed eight feet in
width and 7 1/2 feet in height and shall only be permitted after
site plan review and recommendation by the Planning Board and upon
the granting of an area variance by the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Purpose and intent.
[Added 3-14-2001 by Ord. No. 5-2001[1] ]
(1)
This district is designed to encourage the efficient
conversion of large-scale indoor retail space into smaller, stand-alone
combinations of retail, service and community uses. Because such development
will naturally result in a number of different permitted uses in close
proximity to one another, it is deemed important from an aesthetic
standpoint to encourage some level of uniformity or cohesiveness in
the appearance of the buildings and structures within the RSDD Zone.
Accordingly, applicants seeking permits or site plan approval for
new construction and/or renovation within the RSDD Zone must demonstrate
to the satisfaction of the Planning Board that building and site designs:

Design principles to be addressed include, but are
not limited to, the suitability of design and type of the proposed
construction, including mass, height, line, color and texture of materials
to be used in relation to the immediate and surrounding area including
residential.
