[Added 4-17-2013 by L.L.
No. 1-2013]
Planned Development Areas ("PDAs") are permitted in the Town of Lansing when approved pursuant to the procedures and requirements of the Town of Lansing Land Use Ordinance, including § 270-32 (and all its subsections), therein. No PDA approval shall hereafter become valid until a local law is adopted implementing and approving such PDA, each of which such local laws shall adopt and implement such regulations as the Town Board shall deem advisable, as based in whole or in part upon the recommendations of the Planning Board in relation to such PDA, and which local law shall define such PDA and place it numerically within the body of Article XIV of this chapter.
Every PDA that is included within this chapter and which is
thus then authorized and allowed shall contain, at a minimum, a description
of each of the following in relation to the allowed land uses and
regulations:
A.
Any special definitions for land uses, particularly including any
definitions as vary from the general definitions already set forth
in this chapter;
B.
The allowed principal and supplementary or accessory land uses;
C.
Any yardage, setback requirements, or density regulations or requirements;
D.
Maximum building coverage, height, or size, or the maximum number
of dwelling units within each such building;
E.
The principal requirements for traffic management, including roadways,
parking areas, public highways, pedestrian and other ways, including
the potential construction, development, maintenance, and/or dedication
of the same;
F.
Landscaping plans and buffering requirements;
G.
Allowed building materials and architectural details, including coloration
and visibility of project elements, including buildings and structures;
H.
Any lighting or signage plans or constructs;
I.
Provisions addressing the adequacy and provision of water and sewer
services, stormwater, and other required services and infrastructure;
J.
Any rules relative to mixed uses within any one building or structure
and within the PDA itself;
K.
The preservation, conservation, or use of wetlands or other significant
natural areas or features;
L.
Any phasing plan or developmental timetable and the issuance of future
approvals or permits relating to the same, including a definition
or designation of such uses or changes in use that may require special
permits, site plan review, or amendments to this chapter; and
M.
Any other matter relevant to such PDA or necessary to give effect
to such local law.
The provisions of this article shall not diminish or impair
the right of any other governmental agency or body to require that
any act be taken or avoided. No permit, grandfather right, resolution,
procedure, or rule pertaining to zoning or land use shall supersede
the requirements of this article. This article is intended to supplement
and augment the requirements of zoning and land use regulations and
rules of the Town of Lansing and thus shall be read in harmony therewith.
In the event of a conflict as to applicable zoning rules, the requirements
of this article shall apply to land uses and related rights and activities
with respect to any PDA listed within this article.

On a hillside or sloped lot or site, the finished grade should be
considered as the average finished grade on the uphill side of the
structure.
D.
No additional buildings shall be permitted within this PDA/zone without
site plan review unless the same is a defined accessory structure
with less than 100 feet2 of overall floor
and foundational space. For the purposes of clarity, an eight-foot-by-eight-foot
structure with two floors would require site plan review as it would
have 128 feet2 of combined floor/foundational
space.
E.
A maximum total of 572 dwelling units shall be permitted within the PDA, each as sited and located substantially where indicated upon the updated PDA plat and site plan narrative dated May 22, 2017, showing the configuration and reconfiguration of project phases and the replacement plans pertaining to the removal of, and reconstruction of new facilities thereupon, as follows: i) building numbers 2, 22, 102, 116, which are to be reconstructed upon similar footprints as existing buildings that are to be removed; and ii) buildings K, L, M and 36 and 117 to be reoriented and relocated to have passive insolation benefits and conform to the overall PDA plan as set forth upon and in the updated PDA plat and site plan narrative dated May 22, 2017, which amends and supplements a prior approved narrative of March 30, 2017. In the event of any conflict between this § 270-67 and any narratives, such conflict shall be resolved by giving weight in the following order: first to this § 270-67; then to the May 22, 2017, narrative; and then to the March 30, 2017, narrative, application, and related materials.
F.
Roadway, parking, trail, and pathway requirements are as follows:
(1)
There shall be a minimum 1.25 parking spaces provided for each residential dwelling, and such parking shall be adjacent or near to such residential dwelling(s). Notwithstanding this rule, the parking area shown to the north of building number 116 [one of the three parking areas referred to below in Subsection F(5)(d)] shall not be, or be required to be built, unless there is a demonstrated need for the same and approval is therefor given by the Code Enforcement Officer.
(2)
Nonresidential facilities shall have a minimum of two parking spaces

PDA.
G.
Landscaping plans and buffering requirements, including as shown
in the May 22, 2017, Landscape Plan, are approved as set forth in
the project plans, including the planting of buffering and screening
vegetation, shade trees, and other plantings, each with only native
vegetation (i.e., no exotic or invasive nonnative species shall be
permitted). A minimum landscaped buffer of at least 15 feet shall
be preserved or developed and maintained around the perimeter of the
PDA (and such buffer may be located partly or wholly within required
setback limits). All plantings shall be maintained by the developer

and structures shall be sight buffered and screened per the planting
plans approved for the PDA. All buildings shall be oriented towards
the sun and sited to maximize solar exposure and natural light penetration
of building envelopes so as to increase heating efficiency and decrease
energy usage as set forth in the plans for the PDA. Rooftops and other
suitable sites shall be available for solar access for photovoltaic
or solar thermal systems, where appropriate and where structures permit
such loading.
I.
Lighting shall only be in locations of approved lighting poles and

signage or signage plans, shall be subject to approval pursuant to
site plan review by the Planning Board.
K.
The following requirements apply to the provision of water services,
sewer services, and stormwater within the PDA:
(1)
Water and sewer. No building permits shall be issued unless the plans
therefor comply with law and there is demonstrated compliance herewith,
including verification of sewer and water capacities to serve the
PDA. Usage is capped at 572 units (or equivalent) unless subjected
to further review by the Town. All sewerage services are similarly
capped, and all such services remain subject to the terms of the "Intermunicipal
Wastewater Transportation and Treatment Agreement," dated March 8,
2010, by and between the Town of Lansing and the Villages of Lansing
and Cayuga Heights.
(2)
Water and sewer dedication. All waterlines and appurtenant infrastructure
shall be dedicated in a form as approved by the Town, along and together
with accompanying easements and rights-of-way to the CWD. Similarly,
all sewer lines and appurtenances shall be dedicated to the Town or
any applicable sewer district or improvement area, together with accompanying
easements in a form as approved by the Town. The developer shall submit
as-built maps or surveys as required by Bolton Point and the Town
showing the location and basic descriptive parameters and elevations
of all improvements so installed, and all such dedications shall occur
after construction and installation, after all permits have been obtained,
after all permit conditions are duly met, including permits from the
Tompkins County Health Department. All such water and sewer lines
and appurtenances shall be subject to inspection and testing and be
in operational condition at the time of dedication.
(3)
Stormwater. No certificates of occupancy or compliance (a "CO") shall
be issued until after stormwater plans and the SWPPP are duly approved
by the Town and NY SPDES permits are issued. If any project or construction
plans change, then updated permits and SWPPP calculations are required
to be submitted to and approved by the Town and the NYS Department
of Environmental Conservation.
(4)
All permanent stormwater facilities and permanent practices shall
be required to be substantially constructed, duly inspected, and functional
as of the date of issuance of the CO for that particular phase or
building, and all stormwater facilities and permanent practices, once
built, functioning, inspected, and approved, shall be either dedicated
to the Town (or any drainage district formed for this PDA) or made
the subject of a stormwater management agreement as duly executed
by the developer in a form acceptable to the Town. The determination
as to whether to use or proceed by dedication or pursuant to the use
of a stormwater management agreement, or some combination of both,
shall be made by the Town in its own and sole discretion.
L.
Except for the Community Center building, other community buildings,
and the rental offices, residential uses within the PDA shall not
be mixed within any one building or structure with any nonresidential
uses. As to the Community Center building and other community facilities:
(1)
The Community Center building shall be substantially completed by
December 31, 2020 and, until substantially complete, only three of
the five building permits for major or large buildings demarked in
Phase 4 (building numbers 36, 117, K, L and M) shall issue, and the
remaining two building permits shall not be issued until the certificate
of occupancy is issued for the Community Center building.
(2)
The other community facilities set forth in the development and landscape
plans, including, but not limited to, shared yards, courtyards, trails,
pathways, community grills, outdoor community recreation areas, and
community fire pits shall be constructed as needed within each phase
of the development.
(3)
In the event of any ambiguity the development plan shall control,
and each phase shall be fully completed before the next phase begins
substantial construction, including all such public infrastructure
and supporting facilities within such phase. In all circumstances,
all public infrastructure and supporting facilities shall be constructed
and substantially installed and completed within one year of the date
the last CO is issued for any main building within each phase.
M.
All wetlands and significant natural features shall be preserved
and enhanced in accord with the development plans.
N.
The updated PDA plat, Landscape Plan, and site plan narrative dated
May 22, 2017, outline the proposed phasing of the project. The development
of the allowed build-out limit are hereby authorized and allowed,
subject to all approvals, permitting, and stormwater requirements,
each where applicable or as required.
O.
Any proposed use not specifically herein allowed is expressly prohibited.
Any future plan or proposal not here specifically allowed is prohibited
unless an amendment to the zoning and development plan are approved
through the applicable site planning, special permitting, or variance
procedures as outlined in this chapter. In no event may the open space
percentage of 40% be reduced; such open space measurement to be expressed
as a percentage of land that is undeveloped by buildings or impervious
surfaces as compared to the total acreage of the PDA as based upon
its boundaries as defined below.
P.
All outdoor recreational uses shall be for passive and nonmotorized
recreation. Auxiliary uses relating to such recreation, such as exercise
areas, tennis courts, basketball courts, ball fields, gardens, trails,
and small covered or stone-paved cooking and picnic pavilions or similar
facilities, shall be permitted.
Q.
The developer may for good cause request a waiver from the requirements of this article and this § 270-67, including for the obtaining of building permits (or certificates of compliance or occupancy) earlier than would otherwise be authorized hereunder, by applying for such a waiver to the Town Board. If such a waiver is granted, the Town Board may impose such reasonable conditions upon the waiver as it may deem appropriate. The Town Board may, but is not required to, approve any such waiver if the Town Board finds that:
(1)
The plans for the water or sewer lines and appurtenances have been
approved by all applicable agencies and are or have been built and
duly dedicated, together with necessary access and other easements,
and that the SWPPP and stormwater requirements have been adequately
addressed.
(2)
There would be a substantial hardship to one or more individuals
to delay construction or certificate issuance absent such waiver,
and such hardship was not self-created.
(3)
There is proof provided to the Town that there is adequate financial
support available to the developer to complete the work, such proof
being in the form of a dedicated escrow account, performance bond,
letter of credit, or other proof satisfactory and acceptable to the
Town as based upon the recommendations of the Town Engineer and the
Attorney for the Town.
R.
The area encompassing current TPN 39.-1-34, located within the PDA
on the Village Circle side of the plan shall be allowed to be appended
to and consolidated with TPN 38.-1-38.3 [or other adjacent parcel(s)]
