A. Incentives.
(1)
Density bonus for community benefits or amenities. In recognition
of the opportunities to a) provide for physical amenities that benefit
the Village, such as a new Village Hall, to accommodate and serve
the needs of the influx of new residents who will be residing in the
new development; b) revitalize and energize the Middle Neck Road corridor
to better provide the residents with local businesses for their daily
needs and to provide a more stable tax base; c) revitalize and energize
the East Shore Road corridor; and/or d) provide such other community
benefits or amenities as the Board of Trustees may, from time to time
by resolution, find appropriate, where an applicant proposes significant
improvements to the physical amenities of the Village, to revitalize
and energize the Middle Neck Road and/or East Shore Road Corridors,
and/or other community benefits or amenities as the Board of Trustees
may, from time to time by resolution, find appropriate, that meet
the criteria herein, the Board of Trustees may approve:
(a)
A reduction in the minimum lot area per unit to as few as 850
square feet of lot area;
(b)
An occupied roof terrace;
(c)
Stairwells and elevator bulkheads serving an occupied roof terrace
exceeding 12 feet, but not exceeding 22 feet in vertical distance
from base to highest point;
(d)
A height exceeding 62 feet, but not exceeding 70 feet;
(e)
An elevation exceeding 68 feet, but not exceeding to 80 feet;
and/or
(f)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees, shall
have the authority to grant an incentive, modifying dimensional requirements
set forth herein, where, in the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees,
such modification is determined to be in the interest of superior
design and is otherwise found to be in the best interests of the Village.
(2)
In determining whether or not to grant the density bonus or
adjustment, the Board of Trustees shall consider the following:
(a)
The extent and dollar value of the community benefit or amenity;
(b)
The public costs that would otherwise be required to effect
the same improvements; and
(c)
The improvement to the Village from the proposed improvements.
C. Intent and example. As an example of how the incentive provided in
this section would be calculated in accordance with the workforce
housing provisions of General Municipal Law § 699-b, if
the maximum incentives were granted pursuant to this section and § 699-b,
based upon a lot area of 148,000 square feet, the incentives would
result in the following:
(1)
Lot area: 148,000 square feet.
(2)
As of right:
(a)
One unit/950 square feet: 155 units.
(b)
With General Municipal Law 10% workforce housing incentive (15
affordable workforce housing units): 170 units.
(3)
(a)
One unit/850 square feet: 174 units.
(b)
With General Municipal Law 10% workforce housing incentive (17
affordable workforce housing units): 191 units.
