The Planning Board is authorized and empowered pursuant to § 7-738 of the Village Law to modify certain provisions of Chapter
380, Zoning, as allowed in §
336-35 below, simultaneously with the approval of any subdivision application within the Village.
The Planning Board may consider or require applications for minor subdivisions which include the following deviations from Chapter
380, Zoning, for the following purposes:
A. To eliminate side and rear yard requirements to allow for innovative
attached housing types;
B. To reduce side and rear yard requirements for existing structures
where, in unique and special circumstances, it will result in the
more efficient use of land;
C. To reduce street frontages to allow culs-de-sac and in cases of density transfers as outlined in Subsection
D below;
D. To allow for the transfer of the overall density of a subdivision through allowing some parcels or lots smaller than the minimum lot size requirements of Chapter
380, Zoning, where all such reductions are compensated for by a corresponding increase in the lot size of one or more parcels or lots in the subdivision above the minimum lot size of the requirements of Chapter
380, Zoning.
