Where a change in zone must be obtained, the Planning Board,
after determining that the requirements of this chapter dealing with
planned development districts have been met, shall recommend the approval,
approval with modifications or disapproval of the preliminary development
to the Town Board. The Planning Board shall enter its reasons for
such action in it records and transmit its findings by resolution
to the Town Board. The Planning Board may recommend the establishment
of a planned development district (where a change in zone must be
obtained) or development of a planned development district (where
no change in zone must be obtained), provided that it finds that the
facts submitted with the preliminary development plan establish that:
A. The uses proposed will not be detrimental to the natural characteristics
of the site or to present and potential surrounding uses but will
have a beneficial effect which could not be achieved under any other
district.
B. Land surrounding the proposed development can be developed in coordination
with the proposed development and be compatible in use.
C. Any proposed change to a planned development district is in conformance
with the general intent of the Master Plan for the town.
D. Existing and proposed streets are suitable and adequate to carry
anticipated traffic within the proposed district and in the vicinity
of the proposed district.
E. Existing and proposed utility services are adequate for the proposed
development.
F. Each phase of the proposed development, as it is proposed to be completed,
contains the required parking spaces, landscape and utility areas
necessary for creating and sustaining a desirable and stable environment.
A planned unit development is a development of diversified land uses integrated into a carefully considered plan. Any of the uses listed in §§
103-43 through
103-45 may be permitted, subject to the requirements of those sections. Where development standards may be in conflict or unnecessary due to the integrated nature of the plan, the Town Board may approve a planned unit development that does not meet all required standards, provided that a written justification of each modification is provided as a part of the application.
