It is the purpose of this PUD District to provide
flexible land use and design regulations through the use of performance
criteria so that small- to large-scale neighborhoods or portions thereof
can be developed within the Town that incorporate a variety of residential
types and nonresidential uses, and which may contain both individual
building sites and common property which are planned and developed
as a unit. Where PUD is deemed appropriate through the rezoning of
land to a PUD District by the Town Board, the set of use and dimensional
specifications elsewhere in this chapter are herein replaced by an
approval process in which an approved plan becomes the basis for continuing
land use controls. The PUD District shall be applicable to the area
of the Town designated for such use in the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
The following uses are permitted in the PUD
District:
A. All residential types and their customary uses. The
use of a variety of housing types shall be deemed most in keeping
with this district.
B. Business and business, nonretail uses and their customary
accessory uses. These are to be scaled primarily to serve the residents
of the PUD.
Off-street parking and loading areas shall be provided as listed in Article
IV.
Signs are permitted as listed in Article
V.
Fences, hedges, berms and screen plantings are permitted or, alternatively, shall be required as listed in Article
VI.
No building permit shall be issued for construction
within a PUD District until improvements are installed or a letter
of credit is posted in accordance with the same procedures as provided
for in § 277 of the Town Law, relating to subdivisions,
and as elsewhere required in this or other ordinances of the Town
of Gates. Other such requirements may also be established from time
to time by the Town Board.
