Any boundary indicated as approximately following the corporate boundary of the Village of Cazenovia shall be construed as following such corporate boundary.

[1]
Editor's Note: The Design Guidelines are included as an attachment to this chapter.
[Amended 2-3-2014 by L.L. No. 1-2014]
A. 
The following structures and uses are permitted in this District upon prior site plan approval by the Planning Board and the issuance of a building permit and/or zoning permit by the Code Enforcement Officer:
(1) 
One- and two-family dwellings. (NOTE: When two-family or multiple-family dwellings are proposed, they shall be integrated architecturally and in scale with the same streetscape as single-family dwellings and not isolated in separate areas of the VES Residential District. Home occupation limited uses shall be allowed as a matter of right without prior site plan approval or issuance of a building permit.) (Senior shared housing shall be considered a single-family detached home. Not more than 40% of new units in any particular development may be two-family.)
(2) 
Residential accessory structures, including garages, storage sheds, gazebos and pools.
(3) 
Multifamily dwellings, including townhouses. (NOTE: When two-family or multiple-family dwellings are proposed, they shall be integrated architecturally and in scale with the same streetscape as single-family dwellings and not isolated in separate areas of the VES Residential District. Home occupation limited uses shall be allowed as a matter of right without prior site plan approval or issuance of a building permit.)
B. 
The following uses are allowed upon issuance of a special use permit issued by the Village Planning Board:
(1) 
Church and other religious institution.
(2) 
Bed-and-breakfast.

[Added 8-6-2018 by L.L. No. 6-2018]
C. 
Design and dimension requirements.
(1) 
Protected conservation area.
(a) 
Unless the conservation analysis finds otherwise, at least 30% of the zone shall be set aside (meaning permanently protected in the form of conservation easements or restrictive covenants enforceable by the Village of Cazenovia) as protected conservation area based upon the VES Design Guidelines. When a development plan does not encompass the entire zone, at least 30% of the development area must meet this requirement or the applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Planning Board that there are legally enforceable commitments from other property owners which will allow the requirement to be met upon full development of the zone.
(b) 
Not less than 10% of the any particular development site shall be used for green space in a form that is integrated into the residential neighborhood and accessible to the public, such as a central green, neighborhood squares or commons, tot lots, a community park, or any combination of the above consistent with the VES Design Guidelines. The remaining 30% of required green space may be private yards, stormwater facilities and other areas not necessarily accessible to the public.
(2) 
Blocks. Streets shall be designed consistent with the Design Guidelines for the VES Residential Zone. The intention is to create blocks that are generally rectilinear in shape, a modified rectilinear shape, such as curves, or another regularly repeating, distinct geometric shape. Amorphously shaped blocks are discouraged, except where topographic or other conditions such as protected conservation areas necessitate such a configuration. To the greatest extent possible, blocks shall be designed to have a maximum length of 480 feet. Lanes, pathways or alleys may bisect blocks.
(3) 
Street layout. The street layout shall form an interconnected system of streets primarily in a rectilinear grid pattem, modified to avoid a monotonous repetition of the basic street/block pattern. The use of culs-de-sac and other streets with a single point of access is prohibited. Lots served by a shared driveway may be created by variance. To the greatest extent possible, streets shall be designed to have a maximum length of 480 feet from intersection to intersection and, to the greatest extent possible, shall either continue through an intersection or terminate in a T-intersection or mini roundabout directly opposite the center of a building, a green space area, or a view into a peripheral green space area.
(4) 
Sidewalks and pathways. Consistent with the VES Design Guidelines, a sidewalk and/or pathway network shall be provided throughout the development that interconnects all dwelling units with nonresidential structures, common green spaces, protected conservation areas and adjacent development. The pedestrian circulation system shall include crosswalks where appropriate and include gathering/sitting areas and provide benches, landscaping, and other street furniture where appropriate.
(5) 
Minimum lot area: 5,000 square feet.
(6) 
Maximum building lot area: 20,000 square feet.
(7) 
Minimum lot width at building line: 40 feet.
(8) 
Maximum lot width at building line: 80 feet for single-family dwellings. The Planning Board shall have discretion to establish this limitation for two-family and multifamily dwellings.
(9) 
Design standards. Variations in the principal structure position and orientation may be considered and the following standards shall apply:
(a) 
The front of all principal buildings on new blocks or streets shall be aligned along a "build-to line," which is a line parallel to the front lot line and set back a fixed distance to either the front porch or front facade. The build-to line shall be established at the time of subdivision approval, consistent with the VES Design Guidelines, and shall be between five feet and 40 feet from the edge of the sidewalk. Actual construction of the building may be within 10% of the build-to line.
(b) 
The street facade of all buildings shall extend along a minimum of 40% of the lot width at the build-to line.
(c) 
Sixty percent of houses in a subdivision of five or more lots shall have front porches, which shall extend along a minimum of 50% of the street facade and shall be built with a suitable depth for full use as a porch.
(d) 
For porches, the proposed designs and materials will be substantially similar, as determined by the Planning Board, to traditional architectural elements found in the Village of Cazenovia.
(e) 
Detached garages located behind the home or attached garages with garage doors facing the rear yard are the preferred garage configurations. Garage doors shall be in similar character and style as the principal structure.
(f) 
Attached garages with garage doors perpendicular to the front facade are permitted, provided that the materials and massing of the sidewall of the garage facing the street are residential in character and are compatible with the primary structure.
(g) 
Attached garages with garage doors running parallel to the front facade of the home are only permissible where lot conditions prohibit a perpendicular garage configuration. Under these conditions, garage doors must be set back at least 15 feet behind the principal plane of the front facade.
(h) 
One-third of the floor area of all principal buildings shall be on the second story, or a one-story house shall use Universal Design principles in its construction.
(i) 
Snout houses are prohibited.
(j) 
Rear yard setbacks:
[1] 
Principal structure: 30 feet minimum; 50 feet maximum. For accessory structures, excluding garages: five feet.
[2] 
Detached garages (rear entrance): maximum 20 feet from alley or lane; minimum five feet.
(k) 
Side yard. Minimum separation of 15 feet between principal structures; maximum separation of 30 feet. Principal buildings may be constructed on or near the lot line if an adequate adjustment is made to the neighboring building and this is done for the purpose of creating variety in lot sizes and arrangements. Buildings may utilize shared wall construction with zero setbacks. Steps, bay windows, porches and chimneys may encroach up to three feet into a required side yard. Porches should align with the build-to line. There shall be no electric or gas meters, compressors, or garbage cans between the front of a building and the front lot line.
(l) 
All utilities must be located underground to the extent practicable. Any utilities located above the ground must have adequate vegetative screening.
(10) 
Maximum impervious coverage: forty-percent limit per building lot.
(11) 
Minimum frontage. Lots must have frontage either on a street or on an alley or a shared driveway. Dwellings served by rear lanes may front directly onto parks or greens, such as in a pocket neighborhood, which shall be designed with perimeter sidewalks. Lots proposed to be accessed by a common development area, that is, having no frontage as required, must be approved by the Village Board of Trustees and consistent with New York State law.
(12) 
Maximum building height: 35 feet.
D. 
Prior approval required. No site preparation or construction shall commence until site plan approval and or subdivision approval has been granted by the Planning Board. The Planning Board has full discretion to approve or deny applications for proposed projects within the VES Residential Zone based on compliance with the standards herein.
E. 
Conservation analysis required.
(1) 
The purpose of these regulations is to achieve a balance between well-designed commercial or residential development, meaningful protected conservation area conservation, natural resource protection, and the continuation of cultural and local scenic values. The implementation of the regulations is intended to protect tracts of environmentally sensitive and scenically significant undeveloped land, including road corridors and buffer areas, in order to maintain the historic land use patterns and implement the "Comprehensive Plan - Village and Town of Cazenovia." Conservation analysis in coordination with site planning results in the protection and preservation of contiguous protected conservation area and important scenic and environmental resources.
(2) 
An applicant shall prepare a conservation analysis site plan. This plan shall contain site-specific inventory maps, description of the land, and an analysis of the conservation value of various site features. The conservation analysis shall show lands with conservation value, including but not limited to the following:
(a) 
DEC and Army Corps of Engineers wetlands.
(b) 
Stream corridors and intermittent and perennial watercourses.
(c) 
Ponds and lakes.
(d) 
FEMA-designated one-hundred-year floodplains.
(e) 
Steep slopes (average grade greater than 15% over greater than 5,000 square feet of contiguous area).
(f) 
Vegetative buffer areas necessary for screening and framing new development.
(g) 
Unfragmented forestland, trees 12 inches in diameter at breast height (dbh) or larger (which may be shown as individuals or in groupings).
(h) 
Land exhibiting present or potential, historic, ecological, agricultural, forest, water resource, scenic, or other natural resource value.
(i) 
Farmland in an agricultural district.
(j) 
USDA prime soils and soils of agricultural significance.
(k) 
Existing trail corridors.
(l) 
Local scenic viewsheds.
(m) 
Public water supply watersheds, wellhead zones.
(n) 
Park and recreation land, and historic and archaeological sites.
(o) 
Stone walls.
(p) 
Public and private rights-of-way.
(q) 
Utility easements.
(r) 
Other lands exhibiting present or potential future historic, ecological, agricultural, water resource, scenic or other natural resource value, as determined by the Planning Board.
(3) 
Guidance for these resources may be found in, among other plans, the Comprehensive Plan or published adopted protected conservation area or farmland protection plans.
(4) 
The applicant is strongly advised to meet with the Cazenovia Advisory Conservation Commission (CACC) for assistance in preparation of its conservation analysis.
(5) 
The conservation analysis site plan shall be submitted to the Planning Board for review of the applicant's identification of valuable natural and man-made resources on the property. The conservation analysis shall describe the importance and the current and potential conservation value of all land on the site. In the course of its review, the Planning Board shall indicate to the applicant which of the lands identified as being of conservation value are most important to preserve.
(6) 
The outcome of the conservation analysis and the Planning Board's determination shall be incorporated as an integral part of the preparation of the final site plans. The final site plans shall show land to be permanently preserved by a conservation easement, as well as recommended conservation uses, ownership, and management guidelines for such land.
(7) 
The final determination as to which land has the most conservation value and should be protected from development shall be made by the Planning Board. The Planning Board shall make written findings identifying the specific conservation values protected and the reasons for protecting such land ("conservation findings"). The Planning Board shall deny an application that does not include a complete conservation analysis sufficient for the Board to make its conservation findings. The Planning Board may waive any submission requirements that it, in its sole discretion, deems unnecessary for a complete conservation analysis.
(8) 
Development proposals in the VES-R Zone shall use the Design Guidelines Land Use Site Plan attached hereto as Appendix B and made a part of this chapter as a basis for the conservation analysis.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Design Guidelines Land Use Site Plan is on file in the Village offices.
[Added 2-3-2014 by L.L. No. 1-2014]
All uses not listed in permitted uses in § 180-61 are expressly prohibited in this district.
[Amended 2-3-2014 by L.L. No. 1-2014]
The Village Edge South Mixed Use District is located along the Village's easterly boundary south of U.S. Route 20 and is comprised mostly of currently undeveloped vacant land that could support desired residential and commercial development. Adjacent developed lands located just to the east in the Town of Cazenovia have also been evaluated in the context of the VES-MU Zone for potential annexation and redevelopment. The purpose and intent of this district is to encourage a compatible mixture of residential and commercial development along with preserved conservation areas that will serve as a welcoming gateway to the Village as one enters from the less developed lands to the east. These zoning regulations are intended to further the following policy goals set out for the VES Zone:
A. 
Mixed use.
B. 
Creation of Village streets and interconnectivity within the zone rather than individual curb cuts from Route 20.
C. 
A village character that is a porous, softened urban form.
D. 
Protection of natural resources identified in the zone through site performance.
E. 
Conservation of the identified viewshed.
F. 
Walkable and bikeable neighborhoods that are interconnected.
G. 
Continuation of the traditional architecture found in the Village.
[Amended 2-3-2014 by L.L. No. 1-2014]
A.

(a) 
Dimensions of proposed pathways and sidewalks.
(b) 
Streetscape amenities, including lighting, sidewalk furniture (such as benches and refuse containers), signage.
(c) 
Traditional lighting, at a pedestrian scale 12 feet to 15 feet in height similar in design to lighting found in the Village provided at consistent intervals. Tall, high-intensity streetlighting is prohibited.
(d) 
Utilities located underground and vaults and transformer pads located to have minimal impact on public spaces.
(e) 
The pathway described in the VES Design Guidelines along Route 20 and the Village street.
[1]
Editor's Note: The Design Guidelines are on file in the Village offices.
B. 
Building size requirements. In accordance with the VES Design Guidelines, the following requirements are intended to encourage buildings that are the desired character and provide for mixed use as well as land conservation and groundwater recharge:
(1) 
No building with a gross floor area greater than 5,000 square feet shall be permitted unless it incorporates mixed uses within the building (whether on a single story or with multiple stories) or is a building devoted to a single use but is associated with one or more separate buildings devoted to other use(s) on the same site or on a separate parcel within the VES Mixed Use Zone. Alternatively, a building may be greater than 5,000 square feet with a singular purpose if at least 1/3 of the square feet are on a second floor.
(2) 
All projects that propose to have a greater parking area than building footprint must have an area of green space on the lot which is equal in area to at least 25% of the area of the lot dedicated to surface parking.
(3) 
Maximum building footprint: 30,000 square feet.
C. 
Building and architectural detail.
(1) 
The front of all principal buildings on new blocks or streets shall be aligned along a "build-to line," which is a line parallel to the front lot line and set back a fixed distance. The build-to line shall be established at the time of site plan review, consistent with the VES Design Guidelines. The build-to line shall form the street wall, and 40% of a building's front facade must meet the line. Up to 20% of the building may be set back if the space between the build-to line and the building is public space.
(2) 
Except for new buildings with a building footprint of less than 5,000 square feet, all new buildings and major additions must be between two and three stories tall and at least 20 feet tall at the front facade. A fourth story may be approved by special use permit.
(3) 
All buildings must be designed in compliance with the VES Design Guidelines and other applicable architectural requirements in the Village.
(4) 
All buildings must utilize entrances on the front of the building at the build-to line that open toward the sidewalk and/or make a direct connection between the entrance and the sidewalk.
(5) 
First-floor facades should include a minimum of fifty-percent glass, while upper floors should have between fifteen-percent and forty-percent glass. Glass area is measured per facade as inclusive of muntin and sash and exclusive of casings.

(7) 
No loading zones or blank facades may front on a Village street. No building should have more than 15 horizontal feet of wall without a window or door.
D. 
Streets and parking.
(1) 
Any proposed development shall provide a circulation plan in and around the development for pedestrians, vehicles, and cyclists which includes a detailed map showing:
(a) 
Proposed Village streets, sidewalks, trails and pathways and how they form a network.
(b) 
Circulation patterns, including points of ingress and egress.
(c) 
The dimensions of any proposed roads, pathways and sidewalks.

Specifications of parking lot islands or bioswales.
(g) 
Connections to adjoining parking lots and side streets or alleys with clearly delineated pedestrian paths to and across them and especially to the building being served.
(h) 
Parking lots are not allowed on street corners.
(2) 
To further the goals of minimizing impervious surfaces and enhancing aquifer recharge, the Planning Board shall review calculations for required off-street parking to avoid overbuilt lots. Given the requirements for shared and interconnected parking in the VES-MU Zone, the total quantity of spaces should be reduced to the number likely to be actually needed for the safety and effectiveness of the site plan.
E. 
Route 20 special restrictions. Development occurring along Route 20 in the VES Mixed Use Zone is subject to the following special restrictions in accordance with the VES Design Guidelines:
(1) 
Buildings fronting on Route 20 shall be located no greater than 65 feet from the Route 20 right-of-way line.
(2) 
Buildings located on a corner created by a Village street shall be considered to front on the Village street.
(3) 
There shall be no parking between any building and Route 20. Accessory driveways for internal circulation and delivery may be located within this setback.
(4) 
All proposed development along Route 20 must include a significantly landscaped and contoured buffer that includes the proposed pathway in the VES Design Guidelines.

The provisions of the WG Western Gateway Zone are intended to promote desirable economic development emphasizing uses that will create jobs, attract visitors and have a synergistic effect on the community as a whole while minimizing negative effects on the aesthetic appearance of the area and the residential properties in the zone. The district regulations are intended to encourage the maintenance and historic preservation of the "grand homes" that are prevalent in the Western Gateway Zone by allowing compatible nonresidential uses that will make the upkeep of these historically and architecturally significant buildings economically feasible. These regulations are specifically intended to preserve existing structures and therefore to apply strict scrutiny to any application for certificates of compatibility and/or hardship relief for any proposed demolition. The regulations are intended to effectively blend potential new nonresidential uses with the existing residences and the natural, cultural and historic resources in or near the area, such as the Lorenzo State Historic Site and Gypsy Bay Town Park, in order to enhance their public use and positive role in the Cazenovia community by fostering and promoting an aesthetically pleasing gateway to the community as viewed by people entering from the west via Route 92 and Route 20 and from other public places.
[Added 9-3-2014 by L.L. No. 5-2014]
In addition to all other applicable sections of this Code, all plans for development and redevelopment of lots and property for other than single-family use in the WG District shall comply with the following requirements:
A. 
Landscape design. Any proposed development or redevelopment subject to a building permit or review under this chapter shall retain existing vegetation to the maximum extent practicable. All applications shall include a landscape and planting plan that includes:
(1) 
A map or sketch of existing vegetation, a narrative report as to what, if any, vegetation is to be removed, and in such the reason(s) compelling such removal.
(2) 
A detailed landscape plan that includes a list of the number, type and location of all proposed vegetation to be altered or added to the site. The plan must demonstrate that any existing vegetation removal that would affect the residential character of the district shall be replaced by plantings which will maintain that character.
(3) 
A narrative or drawing demonstrating how the development or redevelopment will preserve existing natural features, including mature trees, tree canopies, land forms, existing topography and vegetation, and avoid conflicts with existing residential, public and quasi-public uses.
B. 
Building scale and streetscape. The size, location and shape of any modification to an existing structure shall be consistent and compatible with the existing streetscape formed by the structures within this district.

[Added 8-6-2018 by L.L. No. 6-2018]
[Added 2-2-2015 by L.L. No. 1-2015]
A. 
Within the CD Creekside Development District, there are no specific lot and structure requirements. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this section, all provisions of Article IV (Supplemental Use and Site Regulations) of this chapter, including, but not limited to, lighting, transition and buffering requirements, shall be applicable within the District. In evaluating proposed uses, the Planning Board shall apply the standards enumerated in §§ 180-141 (Architectural review and approval), 180-142 (Site plan review and approval), and 180-143 (Special permit review and approval), as well as Chapter 95 (Flood Damage Prevention) for lands that lie within areas of special flood hazard. Inasmuch as all principal uses in the District are special permit uses, for purposes of the special use review criterion set forth in § 180-143D(1)(b), the nature and intensity of operations of special uses in the District shall not be more objectionable to surrounding properties than those of permitted uses in adjoining districts. Signs permitted in the District, and on-site parking, shall be as approved by the Planning Board as appropriate for the proposed use, but signs for any particular lot and/or use may not exceed those permitted in the B-1 District. Development upon properties lying within the Historic Preservation Overlay District shall be subject to review by the Historic Preservation Committee as provided in this chapter.
B. 
For all new uses and expansions of existing uses, a stormwater management plan shall be prepared by the owner or operator of the facility and approved by the Village Engineer and the Planning Board. All such plans shall specifically address the prevention of potential stormwater impacts on the waters of Chittenango Creek and neighboring properties. Post-development quantity and quality of off-site stormwater discharges shall not exceed pre-development conditions.
A. 
The purpose of a Planned Development District is to provide a procedure for possible rezoning of land in any district to permit and encourage alternative concepts for developing and adapting land areas within the Village for appropriate residential, business, manufacturing, or other use, or compatible combinations of such uses. Clustering and other land development techniques may be utilized where they will contribute to more effective and economical land use and growth; preservation of existing land, water, and other resources; reduction of the need for extension of public services and systems; and strengthening of the Village's economic base, in a manner consistent with the general welfare of the community and with the purposes of these regulations and the Comprehensive Plan.
B. 
These regulations permit establishment of a Planned Development District for areas of proposed new land use and development, including clustering and mixing of dwellings and other uses and other concepts and approaches to land use and development which are consistent with Village needs and objectives. Permitted land use and development in a Planned Development District may involve adjustment or waiver of permitted uses, minimum lot area or other density standards, minimum yard depths and other basic lot and structure requirements otherwise applicable to development under other district regulations. Under such rezoning, the existing district regulations are replaced by an approval process in which an approved development plan becomes the basis for continuing land use and development control.
C. 
Nothing herein shall serve to obligate the Board of Trustees to establish a Planned Development District nor to approve any requested adjustment or waiver of permitted uses or development standards within such a District. The Board of Trustees' discretion shall be absolute in approving or denying a Planned Development District. An application for a Planned Development District must demonstrate that the development concept proposed for the land in question is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan and public policy decisions underlying these regulations and will achieve some or all of the following objectives:
(1) 
Greater choice in the types of dwelling or business buildings and environments available to existing and potential residents and enterprises in the community.
(2) 
More usable open space and recreation areas.
(3) 
More convenience in location of facilities which serve particular community needs.
(4) 
Preservation of trees, streams, wetlands, topography and other natural features; reduction of runoff and potential flooding, and prevention of soil erosion.
(5) 
Use and development of land which allows an orderly and compatible transition from existing built-up portions of the Village to surrounding less intensive use areas.
(6) 
Patterns of use of land resulting in reduced and more efficient networks of utilities and streets.
(7) 
Any other environmental or other community benefits gained by use of a Planned Development District as compared to strict application of regulations of the district now applicable to the land in question.
In general, a Planned Development District shall be at least five acres in area. Smaller areas of one or more acres may be considered where the location and character of the lot, the scale and concept of proposed development, and relationships of the lot to surrounding uses and patterns of uses may be suitable for establishment of a PD District and consistent with the above objectives.
Uses permitted within a proposed district shall be compatible with existing and allowed uses in adjoining districts. Combinations of such uses may be permitted, even if such uses are not expressly permitted in an adjoining district. By way of illustration only, clustered or attached one-family dwellings or other dwellings or combination of dwellings may be considered in a PD District adjoining a residential district. Combinations of residential and nonresidential uses, except prohibited uses, may be permitted in any PD District where the proximity and relationship of such uses are harmonious with each other and otherwise comply with the purposes and intent of these regulations.
The procedure for establishment of a Planned Development District shall be as follows:
A. 
Sketch development plan/discussion with Board of Trustees and Planning Board (optional). An applicant may submit a sketch development plan and related site plan information to the Board of Trustees and the Planning Board, and arrange to informally discuss a proposed Planned Development District with the Boards, in order to ascertain whether the Boards determine that such a plan appears to have merit for further review and to identify key land use and development considerations and potential issues and problems, if any, to be addressed in further refinement of a formal Planned Development District application to the Board of Trustees. The Boards may suggest refinements or modifications in the basic plan for the applicant's consideration. If the Boards advise the applicant that the proposal does not appear to have merit for further review, the applicant may nevertheless proceed to make formal application to the Board of Trustees.
B. 
Establishment of a Planned Development District.
(1) 
An application to the Board of Trustees for establishment of a Planned Development District shall include the preliminary development plan information set forth in the site plan review regulations. The application shall be referred to the Planning Board at the Board of Trustees' next regular meeting following receipt of a complete application.
(2) 
The Planning Board shall review the application to determine whether it is complete and may request clarification and additional information from the applicant regarding any aspects of the application. The Planning Board and the applicant may negotiate refinements or modifications in the preliminary development plan proposals or other aspects of the application. This negotiating process is intended to permit changes in the original application that will allow the project to meet the objectives of these regulations. The applicant may terminate negotiations at any time by asking the Planning Board to proceed with its review procedures at its next regular meeting.
(3) 
The Planning Board shall submit an advisory report containing its findings and recommendation to the Board of Trustees within 60 days following receipt of a complete application and preliminary development plan. It may recommend approval, approval with modifications or disapproval of the preliminary development plan and establishment of a Planned Development District. Where the Planning Board approves with modifications, the applicant shall be given an opportunity to amend the preliminary development plan to conform to the Board's suggested modifications prior to the Board's report to the Board of Trustees.
(4) 
The Board of Trustees shall hold a public hearing as required for any amendment of these regulations and shall consider the report and recommendations of the Planning Board, and all other comments, reviews and statements pertaining thereto. The Board of Trustees may act to amend the Zoning Map to establish and define the type and boundaries of the Planned Development District, and in order to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the community, may establish additional requirements and specific conditions restricting the nature, density, or design of proposed land use and development, and may request that the applicant submit an amended preliminary development plan conforming with such requirements and conditions prior to final action by the Board to establish a district.
(5) 
As part of an action to establish a district, the Board of Trustees may waive certain requirements of permitted uses and lot and structure requirements of these regulations, where it is determined that such waivers will not adversely affect the character of the neighborhood or adjacent land uses or natural resources. Any such waivers shall be expressly related to representations made by the applicant on the preliminary development plan drawings and other documents and shall not serve to waive any other requirements or to permit the applicant to modify or relax other requirements. Upon approval by the Board of Trustees of a preliminary development plan and establishment of a Planned Development District, the plan shall be filed by the Village Clerk and shall serve as a permanent record governing future development within the district.
C. 
Final development plan review and other approval of development within an established Planned Development District:
(1) 
Amendment of the Zoning Map to establish a district shall not constitute authorization to undertake any construction and development in the district.
(2) 
Such authorization shall require that the applicant submit to the Planning Board a final development plan conforming to conditions and restrictions imposed by the Planning Board and Board of Trustees, if any, and such further plans and specifications and supporting documents required for a building permit.
(3) 
If the applicant has previously indicated that development of the district will be phased, the application for a building permit may be limited to approved phases. It is the intent of these regulations that any individual phases of a planned development project proceed logically and have an integrity of use in their own right so that, if for any reason the entire planned development is not completed, the developed portions will be an asset to the community by themselves and can eventually be extended and completed without land areas becoming isolated and inaccessible. Phasing plans shall consider this objective.
(4) 
No building permit shall be issued until the Planning Board has undertaken its normal reviews required by these regulations and has determined that the final development plan has been made to conform to all prior conditions and restrictions, if any, and has approved the plan, and until the Planning Board has forwarded a copy of the approved plan and reported to the Board of Trustees as to its intent to authorize issuance of a permit.
(5) 
Affirmative action by the Planning Board shall be construed as permitting subdivision, construction, or development in a Planned Development District only in substantial conformity with the final development plan approved by the Board. A final development plan shall not be amended except upon approval of the Planning Board. Where the Board determines that the amendment is significant, application to the Board of Trustees for such amendment and a public hearing shall be required. The Board of Appeals is not authorized to grant a variance from the plan approved by the Board of Trustees.
(6) 
The approved plan shall run with the land and shall continue to control development within the district, and shall not lapse or be waived as a result of any change in ownership or tenancy of any or all of the designated district.
(7) 
If development of a Planned Development District has not commenced within two years after the date of the Planning Board approval of a final development plan and issuance of a building permit, the permit shall become null and void, and the plan approval shall be deemed revoked and vacated; except that such time period may be extended upon application to and authorization by the Planning Board.
(8) 
If development of a Planned Development District has not commenced within the two-year period described above, the Board of Trustees may elect to conduct a public hearing and otherwise consider and act upon amendment of zoning of the land from Planned Development District to its former district status, or such other district status as the Board of Trustees may deem appropriate.
The Board of Trustees and the Planning Board shall review preliminary and final development plans for a planned development district in accordance with criteria for architectural review, site plan review and special use permit review as each or all such reviews may apply to the proposed district. A Planned Development District shall also be subject to SEQR procedures and certificate of compatibility requirements and other regulations if the proposed district is located within an Historic Preservation Overlay District.
A. 
It is hereby declared as a matter of public policy that the protection, enhancement, and perpetuation of landmarks and historic areas are necessary to promote the economic, cultural, educational, and general welfare of the public. Inasmuch as the identity of a people is founded on its past, and inasmuch as the Village of Cazenovia has many significant historic, architectural, and cultural resources which constitute its heritage, the Historic Preservation Overly District and these regulations are intended to:
(1) 
Protect and enhance the landmarks and historic areas which represent distinctive elements of Cazenovia's historic, architectural, and cultural heritage;
(2) 
Foster civic pride in the accomplishments of the past;
(3) 
Protect and enhance Cazenovia's attractiveness to visitors and to support and stimulate the economy thereby provided; and
(4) 
Ensure the harmonious, orderly, and efficient growth and development of the Village.
B. 
These regulations shall apply within the Historic Preservation Overlay District delineated on the Zoning Map of the Village of Cazenovia and to any landmarks, new historic districts and expansion of the existing Historic Preservation Overlay District established pursuant to the provisions of these regulations.
[Amended 7-7-2014 by L.L. No. 4-2014; 3-7-2016 by L.L. No. 1-2016]
When used in §§ 180-74 through 180-88, the term "compatibility" shall have the same definition as the term "finding of compatibility" as set forth in § 180-9.
[Amended 7-7-2014 by L.L. No. 4-2014]
There is hereby created a committee to be known as the Cazenovia Historic Preservation/Architectural Review Committee (the "Committee").
A. 
The Committee shall be appointed, to the extent qualified persons are available in the community, by the Mayor, with the approval of the Board of Trustees. The membership of the Committee shall be composed of five members, and all such members shall have demonstrated interest, competence and/or knowledge of historic preservation; said members shall be recruited from the disciplines of history, architecture, architectural history, architectural archaeology, engineering, construction, and other historic-preservation-related professions. They shall be primarily recruited from the Village, and at least three members must be Village residents. All members must be residents of either the Village or Town of Cazenovia. One member will preferably be a representative of the Central Business District. He/she will operate or own a business in an historic district located on Albany Street or within a block of Albany Street.

The Mayor, with the approval of the Board of Trustees, may also appoint temporary alternate members to the Committee to serve as provided in this section as the Mayor and Board of Trustees deem necessary or appropriate. Alternate members of the Committee shall be residents of the Village. The number of temporary members so appointed pursuant to this section at any given time shall not exceed two, and all such temporary members shall have demonstrated interest, competence and/or knowledge of historic preservation; said temporary members shall be recruited from the disciplines of history, architecture, architectural history, architectural archaeology, engineering, construction, and other historic-preservation-related professions. Such temporary members shall be appointed at the Village's annual organizational meeting for two-year terms of office beginning on the first day of July and ending on the last day of June. Initial appointments of alternate members not made at the annual organizational meeting, and any alternate member appointed to fill a vacancy in an alternate member position, shall serve until the last day of June in the Village's organizational year of his or her appointment. The Chair of the Committee shall assign such temporary members to serve in place of regular members as necessary when the absence of regular members of said Committee or the conflict of interest of regular members of said Committee would otherwise prevent five members of said Committee from considering any pending matter. Such temporary members shall be designated on a rotating basis such that each temporary member shall be afforded an equal opportunity to serve. Once designated to serve on a particular matter before the Committee, the temporary member shall have the same powers and duties as regular members of the Committee until the matter is concluded. Any determination of said Committee consisting of temporary members shall have the same weight and be entitled to the same authority as the act or deed of the regular Committee members, and all laws, statutes and regulations shall apply and be applied with equal force and effect.

[Amended 10-3-2016 by L.L. No. 6-2016]
[Amended 7-7-2014 by L.L. No. 4-2014; 3-7-2016 by L.L. No. 1-2016]
No person shall carry out any exterior alteration, restoration, reconstruction, demolition, new construction, or moving of a landmark or property within an historic district, including buildings and exterior building features and site features such as sidewalks and fences, or portions thereof, without first obtaining a certificate of compatibility or hardship relief from the Cazenovia Historic Preservation/Architectural Review Committee. Painting or repainting and ordinary maintenance and repair of existing buildings, building features, building elements and site features are exempt from the requirements of this section, as are changes involving only replacement in kind of a portion of a building element (including, but not necessarily limited to, porch or stair walking surfaces and stair risers), building-mounted mailboxes and flagpoles and any modifications or changes involving only living vegetation and/or seasonal changes such as window air conditioners, fans and/or seasonal decorations. As an example, but not by way of limitation, caulking or puttying an existing window pane, or replacement of a portion of a window sash with like-kind material would constitute maintenance or repair, whereas replacement of an entire sash, an entire window, or an entire porch would constitute an activity subject to the requirements of this section. Replacement of any building element with a different material or design shall constitute an activity subject to review under this section.
A. 
In passing upon an application for a certificate of compatibility, the Committee shall not consider changes to interior spaces, unless the interior is both open to the public and designated as an interior landmark, or to property site features that are not visible from a public street or alley or other public way. The Committee's decision shall be guided by the following principles:
[Amended 7-7-2014 by L.L. No. 4-2014]
(1) 
The "US Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties" and the various accompanying "Guidelines" documents;
(2) 
Properties which contribute to the character of an historic district shall be retained, with their historic features altered as little as possible;
(3) 
Any alteration of a landmark and/or a property within an historic district shall be compatible with its individual historic character, as well as with its context or the surrounding historic district; and
(4) 
New construction at a landmark shall be compatible with the property's historic character, and new construction in an historic district also shall be compatible with the district in which it is located.
B. 
In applying the principle of compatibility, the Committee shall consider the following factors:
(1) 
The general design, character, and compatibility of the proposed alteration or new construction to a landmark or historic district;
(2) 
The scale of the proposed alteration or new construction in relation to the property itself, surrounding properties and the neighborhood;
(3) 
Texture and materials of the proposed alteration or new construction and their relation to similar features of the property itself, surrounding properties and the neighborhood;
(4) 
Visual compatibility with surrounding properties, including proportion of building front facade, proportion and arrangement of windows and other openings and roof shape, and the rhythm or spacing of buildings and structures in relation to the street and adjacent properties, site features such as drives, walks, walls, fences, hedge rows, terraces and stairs, and major landforms or topographic features;

A Wellhead Protection Overlay District is established in order to assist in the preservation of public health, general welfare and safety of the residents of the Village through the elimination or prevention of groundwater contamination in the vicinity of wells that supply public drinking water.
The Wellhead Protection Overlay District includes the land area through which contaminants are reasonably likely to move toward and reach the water wells operated by the Village of Cazenovia. This area, termed the "Wellhead Protection Area," was delineated in the 2007 document entitled "Wellhead Protection Plan for the Village of Cazenovia Water Supply," prepared by the New York Rural Water Association, and is delineated in the map included as Appendix 1 at the end of this chapter.[1]The Wellhead Protection Overlay District consists of the portions of the zone of contribution and the watershed zone located within the Village. These two different zones are delineated in the "Wellhead Protection Plan for the Village of Cazenovia Water Supply" that is on file with the Village Clerk.
[1]
Editor's Note: Appendix 1 is on file in the Village offices.
The Wellhead Protection Overlay District shall be considered as overlaying other existing districts as shown on the Zoning Map.[1] Any uses permitted in the underlying district shall be permitted in the Wellhead Protection Overlay District except where the overlay district prohibits or imposes greater or additional restrictions and requirements. In any cases where conflicts arise between these requirements and any other existing regulations, the provisions of §§ 180-89 through 180-95 shall apply. "Parent parcels," as defined in § 180-9 of this chapter, are as denoted in Appendix 2, attached to the end of this chapter.[2]

A. 
Maximum impervious coverage.
(1) 
Except as hereinafter provided, within the Wellhead Protection Overlay District, no more than 15% of a single parent parcel or building site may be rendered impervious to infiltration. Maximum site impervious coverage calculations shall include all impervious surfaces with a minimum area of over 100 square feet. All site plans for development within the Wellhead Protection Overlay District shall specifically include the impervious surface calculations, prepared by a licensed professional engineer, architect or land surveyor, both for the specific development being proposed and the cumulative total of impervious surface for the parent parcel upon which the proposed development is located. Once total impervious surface for the parent parcel reaches 15%, no further impervious surface development shall be allowed on such parent parcel, except as permitted under the provisions of Subsection A(2), immediately following.
(2) 
Impervious coverage may only exceed 15% of a single parent parcel or building site if a system of stormwater management and treatment is developed that results in the site's postdevelopment annual stormwater recharge volume to groundwater approximating the site's predevelopment annual groundwater recharge volume. Such a system should also: preserve hydrologic conditions that closely resemble predevelopment conditions; maintain or replicate the predevelopment hydrologic functions of storage, infiltration and groundwater recharge; prevent untreated discharges; reduce or prevent flooding by managing the peak discharges and volumes of runoff; minimize erosion and sedimentation; prevent degradation of water by reducing suspended solids and other pollutants; and provide increased protection of sensitive natural resources.
B. 
Minimum lot size.
(1) 
In the Wellhead Protection Overlay District, the minimum size for lots served by private sewage disposal systems (i.e., septic systems) shall be 80,000 square feet.
(2) 
In areas serviced by a public sanitary sewer, the minimum size for lots in the Wellhead Protection Overlay District shall be that for the underlying zoning district.
A. 
Stormwater pollution prevention plan.
(1) 
A stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) must be submitted to the Planning Board for any proposed use that is required to submit a site plan for review within the Wellhead Protection Overlay District. (See § 180-95.) This plan will detail the site's stormwater management and treatment system, including the design and operational details that will:
(a) 
Reduce or eliminate erosion and sediment loading to water bodies during construction;
(b) 
Control the impact of stormwater runoff on the water quality of the receiving waters;
(c) 
Control the increased volume and peak rate of runoff during and after construction; and
(d) 
Maintain stormwater controls during and after completion of construction.
(2) 
The SWPPP must meet applicable stormwater quality/quantity sizing criteria as well as performance criteria that are outlined in the latest version of the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual. The SWPPP should also contain sufficient information for the Village to evaluate the plan with respect to additional postdevelopment stormwater management criteria. (See below.) It must be prepared and certified by a New York State licensed professional engineer or landscape architect or a certified professional in erosion and sediment control (CPESC).
B. 
Additional postdevelopment stormwater management criteria for the Wellhead Protection Overlay District. In addition to the quality/quantity sizing and performance criteria identified in the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual, all projects in the Wellhead Protection Overlay District that are required to submit a stormwater pollution prevention plan [i.e., all projects that must submit a site plan within the Wellhead Protection Overlay District (See § 180-95)] shall achieve the following performance standards:
(1) 
Groundwater recharge. The annual recharge from the postdevelopment site should reasonably approximate the annual recharge from the predevelopment (existing) site conditions based upon soil types.
(2) 
Recharge volume. The prescribed design volume of stormwater to be recharged on the site (the so-called "Groundwater Recharge Volume, Rev.") shall be determined by the method that is contained in Appendix C of the 2007 document entitled "Wellhead Protection Plan for the Village of Cazenovia Water Supply," prepared by the New York Rural Water Association. A copy of this document is filed with the Village Clerk. Different recharge values for soils may be used, provided that on-site soil evaluations have been conducted and a professional geologist clearly demonstrates that the recharge rate differs from the listed values based upon soils, precipitation and evapotranspiration.
(3) 
Hydrologic conditions. The hydrologic conditions of the developed site must closely resemble predevelopment conditions through adequate use of design techniques that infiltrate, filter, store, evaporate and detain runoff close to its source.
(4) 
Sensitive areas. Stormwater discharges to groundwater shall not occur within a distance of 800 feet of any public water supply well operated by the Village of Cazenovia.
(5) 
Pretreatment. Stormwater runoff shall be directed to pretreatment device(s) such as water quality inlets, sediment traps, drainage channels, water quality swales, etc., to help trap coarse materials before they enter the primary stormwater management and treatment practice(s).
(a) 
Emergency design measures. Stormwater management and treatment systems should incorporate designs which allow for shutdown and containment in the event of an emergency spill or other unexpected contamination event.
(b) 
Operation and maintenance plan. All stormwater management and treatment systems must have an operation and maintenance plan to ensure that system(s) function as designed. Such a plan should include details on how postconstruction inspection and long-term maintenance is to be carried out.
(c) 
Performance bond. In order to ensure that funds are available to finish the construction and ensure the proper functioning of stormwater management and treatment system(s), the Village shall require the developer or contractor to provide, prior to construction, a performance bond, escrow account certification or irrevocable letter of credit from an appropriate financial or surety institution which guarantees satisfactory completion of the project and names the Village as the beneficiary. The security shall be in an amount to be determined by the Planning Board and Village Board based on submission of final design plans in the stormwater pollution prevention plan and an evaluation of projected construction costs by the Village Engineer.
(6) 
Maintenance bond. Where stormwater management and treatment system(s) are to be operated and maintained by the developer or by a corporation that owns or manages a commercial or industrial facility, the developer, prior to final approval of construction, shall be required to provide the Village with a maintenance bond, escrow account certification or irrevocable letter of credit from an appropriate financial or surety institution to ensure proper operation and maintenance of all stormwater management and treatment system(s) for a twenty-year period. The estimated maintenance cost for the facilities shall be based on a reasonable estimate provided by the Village Engineer and adopted by the Village Board. The maintenance bond shall guarantee the stormwater facilities against design defects and/or failures in workmanship and shall guarantee that the facilities constructed under the permit will be regularly and adequately maintained throughout the maintenance period. If the developer or owner fails to properly operate and maintain the stormwater management and treatment system(s), the Village may draw upon the account to cover the costs of proper operation and maintenance.
A. 
Uses requiring site plan review within the Wellhead Protection Overlay District. In addition to the uses and activities requiring site plan review as indicated in § 180-92, the Planning Board shall have site plan review and approval on any proposed use or activity requiring a building permit located partially or wholly within the Wellhead Protection Overlay District that meets one or more of the following conditions:
(1) 
The proposed use or activity would render impervious to infiltration 15% of a single parent parcel or building site.
(2) 
The proposed use or activity is not served by a public sanitary sewer and will generate more than a daily average of 1,000 gallons of wastewater.
(3) 
The proposed use or activity will extract more than 1,000 gallons per day of groundwater.
B. 
Site plan submittal requirements within the Wellhead Protection Overlay District. In addition to other information that may be required for a site plan submittal as indicated in § 180-142, and elsewhere in the Village Code, the following information shall be provided for a proposed use or activity located partially or wholly within the Wellhead Protection Overlay District that requires site plan review and approval:
(1) 
Location of the proposed use or activity in relation to the Wellhead Protection Overlay District boundaries.
(2) 
Location and extent of existing (predevelopment) and postdevelopment impervious surfaces.
(3) 
Details regarding the proposed conveyance, storage, distribution, generation, handling, use and/or treatment of any sewage, process wastes, aqueous-carried wastes, petroleum, hazardous substances, hazardous waste, solid waste, radioactive material and/or incidental wastes. Include the estimated types and quantities of such materials to be located on site.
(4) 
A stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) prepared in accordance with § 180-94.
(5) 
A description of all pollution control measures and activities proposed to prevent on-site disposal and potential contamination of groundwater or surface water, including spill response activities.
(6) 
A statement as to the degree of threat to groundwater and surface water quality that could result if the control measures failed.
(7) 
A description of the provisions for the off-site disposal of any solid waste, petroleum, radioactive material, hazardous substances, hazardous waste, process wastes and/or aqueous-carried waste (except sewage).
(8) 
If an on-site water supply is to be utilized, provide a description of the proposed means of water supply, including, if applicable, an estimate of the total daily groundwater withdrawal rate.
(9) 
Other information as necessary to fully explain the project and evaluate its potential impact upon the Village of Cazenovia's public water supply.
C. 
Site plan review criteria and procedures. In addition to other site plan review criteria and procedures set forth elsewhere in the Village Code, the Planning Board shall also review all site plans located partially or wholly within the Wellhead Protection Overlay District, as appropriate, in terms of the following criteria:
(1) 
Adequacy of the stormwater pollution prevention plan in meeting criteria established in the New York Stormwater Management Design Manual, as well as additional postdevelopment stormwater management criteria identified in § 180-94.
