The Planning Board is hereby authorized to review and approve,
approve with modifications or disapprove special permits pursuant
to Town Law § 274-b and in accordance with the standards
and procedures set forth in this chapter.
[Amended 6-19-2008 by L.L. No. 1-2008]
All uses designated as requiring a special use permit shall
have a special use permit and a site plan approved by the Planning
Board prior to the issuance of a zoning permit or certificate of compliance
by the Zoning Officer. Upon transfer of ownership of a property for
which a special use permit and site plan have been approved, a new
application for a special use permit and site plan review shall not
be required unless there is a change in or expansion of the use for
which the original special use permit was granted, or a change in
the original site plan as approved.
A.
In considering and acting on special use permits, the Planning Board
shall consider the public health, safety, welfare and comfort and
convenience of the public in general, the residents of proposed developments
and the residents of the immediate surrounding area.
B.
The Planning Board may prescribe such appropriate conditions and
safeguards as may be required in order that the results of its action
shall, to the maximum extent possible, further the accomplishment
of the following objectives:
(1)
Compatibility: that the proposed use is of a character compatible
with the surrounding neighborhood and in harmony with the Master/Comprehensive
Plan for the community.
(2)
Public facilities: that the public facilities to service the proposed
use, including water supply, sewage disposal, drainage facilities
and road facilities, and any other utilities and public services are
adequate for the intended level of use.
All applications for special use permits shall be submitted and reviewed in compliance with the submission requirements and review procedures for site plan reviews as provided in Article X of this chapter.
