Site plan review shall be required of all uses,
excluding agricultural uses, single- and two-family dwellings. Accessory
buildings for these three uses are also exempt from site plan review;
however, home occupations are not. The Planning Board, at a regular
meeting, shall review and approve, approve with modification or disapprove
a site plan in connection with any matter requiring submission of
a site plan.
In addition to the site plan initially submitted
by an applicant, the Planning Board may require other data to be presented
in graphic form and accompanied by a written text. Such other supporting
data may include, but is not limited to, the following:
A.
Traffic circulation, parking and loading spaces and
pedestrian walks.
B.
Topography and landscaping plans, including site grading,
landscaping design, open areas and buffer zone.
C.
Preliminary architectural drawings for buildings to
be constructed, floor plans, exterior elevations and sections.
D.
Preliminary engineering plans, street improvements,
storm drainage, water supply and sanitary sewer facilities.
E.
Engineering feasibility studies of any anticipated
problem which might arise due to proposed development, as required
by the Planning Board.
F.
Construction sequence and time schedule for completion
of each phase for buildings, parking and landscaped areas.
G.
Description of proposed uses, hours of operation and
expected number of employees, volume of business and volume of traffic
generated.
A.
When necessary under § 239 of the General
Municipal Law, the Planning Board shall forward the site plan to the
County of Genesee for its review prior to taking any final action.
The Village Planning Board shall review the site plan and supporting
data before approval, approval with modifications or disapproval of
such site plan, taking into consideration the following:
(1)
Harmonious relationship between proposed uses and
existing adjacent uses.
(2)
Maximum safety of vehicular circulation between the
site and street.
(3)
Adequacy of interior circulation, parking and loading
facilities, with particular attention to pedestrian safety.
(4)
Adequacy of landscaping and setbacks to achieve compatibility
with, and protection of, adjacent residential uses.
B.
The Planning Board may require changes or additions
in relation to yards, driveways, landscaping, buffer zones, etc.,
to ensure safety, to minimize traffic difficulties and to safeguard
adjacent properties. Should changes or additional facilities be required
by the Planning Board, final approval of site plan shall be conditional
upon satisfactory compliance by applicant in making the changes or
additions.
C.
Any applicant wishing to make changes in an approved
site plan shall submit a revised site plan to the Planning Board for
review and approval.
The Planning Board may require as a condition
of site plan approval that the applicant file a performance bond or
letter of credit, in such amount as the Planning Board determines
to be in the public interest, to insure that proposed development
will be built in compliance with accepted plans. The amount of any
such bond must also be approved by the Village Board.
In all districts, uses are not permitted which
violate applicable county, state and/or federal codes and regulations
pertaining to environmental issues. The Planning Board, under its
powers of site plan review and approval, shall decide whether uses
meet these standards.
The provisions of this article shall not be
interpreted to limit in any way those powers and duties of the Planning
Board as set forth in Article 7 of the New York Village Law.
