strip commercial development are avoided. Further, it is the intent
of the Village that accessory retail development not hamper the continued
operation of existing primary retail establishments.
[Amended 6-14-2004 by L.L. No. 7-2004,
effective 6-30-2004]
(1)
Definition. Such operation shall be defined

motor vehicle filling/service station, and shall be located on the
same lot as the primary use. It shall provide for retail sales of
convenience merchandise, prepared foods, and pre-packaged foods for
personal or household consumption. Such accessory use shall require
a special permit and site plan approval to be issued by the Planning
Board. The special permit must be renewed at least six months prior
to the three-year anniversary date of the initial permit date or the
effective date of this subsection for all presumptive special permits.

Access to adjacent lot(s) prohibited. The accessory
retail operation shall have a buffer of no less than five feet in
depth along a common lot line with another commercially zoned property.
The buffer shall be densely landscaped with shrubs and trees, and
shall not in any way provide pedestrian or vehicular access to adjacent
lot(s). However, if the Planning Board determines that traffic safety
would be improved along a county or state road, vehicular and pedestrian
access may be provided to the adjacent commercial lot(s) or an easement
may be provided to allow future vehicular and pedestrian access. Such
easement shall be subject to the review and approval by the Village
Attorney.
[Amended 10-24-2005 by L.L. No. 9-2005, effective 11-4-2005]
(e)
Ownership and subdivision. A motor vehicle filling/service
station may be allowed a consumer convenience center as an accessory
use if such accessory use is located on the same, unsubdivided lot
as the primary use. The lot shall not be subdivided in order to construct
and/or operate a retail store on the new lot, unless such new lot
(1) has ownership not in common with the motor vehicle filling/service
station ownership; and (2) has an approved site plan that included
(but is not limited to) a five-foot landscaped buffer along the common
lot line with the lot containing the motor vehicle filling/service
station. Such buffer shall be densely landscaped with shrubs and trees,
and shall not in any way provide pedestrian or vehicular access to
adjacent lot(s).

Minimum lot size. The primary use shall have
a minimum lot size of 30,000 square feet.

[2]
For a lot size that falls in between the above
listed increments, the Planning Board shall have the discretion to
allow a proposed accessory customer convenience center to have greater
gross floor area in proportion to the greater lot size.
[3]
Under no circumstances shall such accessory
use be allowed a gross floor area greater than 2,250 square feet.

will adequately light the consumer convenience center exterior and
related parking area and will not shed light onto abutting residentially
zoned land.
(5)
Presumptive special permit. In order to avoid
unnecessarily creating nonconformities due to these requirements,
the Village of Mamaroneck will deem a motor vehicle filling/service
station to have an automatic special permit for an accessory consumer
convenience center, if such use could have applied for the special
permit detailed here and met the special permit requirements at the
time these requirements were adopted by the Board of Trustees. All
"presumptive special permits" will be subject to the renewal procedures
as set forth in § 342-46.lK(l) herein.

[Amended 12-17-1984 by L.L. No. 36-1984, effective 1-2-1985]
For the purpose of promoting environmental protection, open space preservation and superior design of residential development; encouraging the most appropriate use of land; increasing recreational opportunities; and improving the balance and variety of the Village's existing housing stock, the Planning Board is hereby authorized to approve planned residential developments, subject to site development plan approval in accordance with the standards, procedures and requirements as set forth in Article XI of this chapter and as authorized by § 7-725 of the Village Law. The Planning Board shall not act on any planned residential development application unless a public hearing is held in accordance with the timing and notice requirements as set forth in said § 7-725 of the Village Law. If a subdivision is involved, the procedure, hearing and notice requirements shall be as required by the Land Subdivision Regulations.[1]
A.
Planned residential development may be permitted only
within one-family residence districts.
B.
The minimum size of parcel eligible for planned residential
development shall be 10 acres. No more than 10% of the total acreage
shall be tidal or freshwater wetlands.
C.
The maximum permitted number of residential dwelling
units within a planned residential development shall be determined
by dividing the gross area of the subject parcel by the minimum lot
size requirements of the zoning district(s) in which it is located.
The Planning Board may, in its discretion, further reduce the maximum
permitted density where said Board determines that, because of environmental
limitations, traffic access, the use and character of adjoining land
or other planning considerations, the maximum permitted density would
be inappropriate.
D.
The permitted uses within a planned residential development
shall be the same as those otherwise permitted in the zoning district(s)
in which the property is located, except that attached and semidetached
dwellings shall also be permitted.
E.
There shall be no more than eight dwelling units in
any one dwelling building or attached grouping.
F.
The maximum permitted building height shall be the
same as permitted for one-family dwellings in the zoning district(s)
in which the property is located.
G.
In approving a planned residential development, the
Planning Board may waive, to the extent determined necessary by said
Board to achieve the purposes of this section, all normally applicable
lot area, width, frontage, depth, floor area, yard and coverage requirements
normally applicable in the zoning district(s) in which the property
is located.
H.
Notwithstanding the above, the minimum required setback
from all perimeter boundaries of the site shall be equal to one and
one-half (1 1/2) times the applicable yard requirements for one-family
dwellings in the district(s) in which the property is located.
I.
Off-street parking shall be provided within each planned
residential development at the rate of not less than two spaces for
each one-family detached dwelling, and one space per dwelling unit,
plus one-half (1/2) space per bedroom for each dwelling unit in an
attached or semidetached dwelling. No less than one-third (1/3) nor
more than two-thirds (2/3) of the minimum required off-street parking
spaces shall be enclosed. Of the unenclosed spaces, an amount equal
to at least one-third (1/3) of the total number of required spaces
shall not be reserved for the use of specific dwelling units and shall,
at all times, remain open and available for the use of visitors and
guests, as well as other residents. Where the Planning Board determines
that, because of special limitations on the occupancy of units or
because of the location of the planned residential development site,
the actual number of off-street parking spaces needed may be less
than the minimum number required in accordance with the above standards,
the Board may waive the initial improvement of up to 25% of the minimum
required number of spaces, provided that adequate assurance is obtained
that such spaces will be improved in the future if they become necessary,
and further provided that the location and layout of such future spaces
is shown on the approved site development plan.
J.
All off-street parking areas shall be appropriately
located, designed and landscaped so that they will harmonize with
the residential character and scale of buildings on the site and on
adjoining properties. In general, parking areas shall not contain
more than 10 contiguous spaces uninterrupted by landscaping or other
forms of spatial or visual separation.
K.
The Planning Board shall require suitable easements,
covenants, offers of dedication or other forms of binding legal agreements
as said Board determines necessary to assure that all open spaces
shown on the approved plan will be permanently owned, operated and
maintained in accordance with the use limitations indicated on the
final plan.
[Added 10-15-1996 by L.L. No. 12-1996, effective 10-24-1996]
Within any residential district, the Planning Board may grant a special permit for construction and operation of a nursing home subject to the following standards and the requirements as set forth in Article X of this chapter. Notwithstanding this delegation of authority to the Planning Board to grant special permits for nursing homes, the Board of Trustees may determine to serve as the permit-granting authority in place and instead of the Planning Board upon the adoption of a resolution advising the Planning Board that, for public policy reasons, it considers the particular application to merit the Board of Trustees' involvement. The adoption of such a resolution by the Board of Trustees shall be sufficient to remove the matter from the Planning Board's jurisdiction and to place it before the Board of Trustees for review in accordance with the following standards as well as those requirements as set forth in Article X of this chapter.
A.
Location. Nursing homes shall be permitted in residential
districts only in locations fronting on and having direct access to
a state or county road.
B.
Minimum site size and frontage. The minimum site size
for a nursing home in a residential district shall be five acres with
a minimum of 200 feet of frontage.
C.
Density. There shall be a minimum of 800 square feet
of lot area for each patient bed, and the total development shall
not exceed a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.80.
D.
Coverage. Building coverage, including accessory buildings,
shall not exceed 25% of the land area.
F.
Off-street parking and loading. The minimum off-street
parking requirements for nursing homes shall be one space for each
two patient beds, with the provision that the approval agency may
vary the number of parking spaces by up to 10% of that required upon
a showing that actual demand for parking will be adequately met. One
off-street loading space shall be provided for each 150 patient beds
or major portion thereof.
G.
Height. No building shall be erected to a height in
excess of 2 1/2 stories or 35 feet.
H.
Buffer area. A ten-foot landscaped buffer area shall
be required along all lot lines excluding railroad rights-of-way.
I.
Other requirements. In addition to the special standards described above, to the extent not inconsistent herewith, nursing homes shall comply with any other requirements of this chapter, any other special requirements deemed appropriate by the approval agency in accordance with the requirements of Article VII, and all other applicable laws and regulations governing nursing homes.
[Added 5-23-2016 by L.L.
No. 6-2016, effective 7-5-2016]
The purpose of this section is to foster the renovation and
reuse of structures originally constructed for religious or educational
uses, which have historic, architectural, economic, cultural or other
value to the Village and are at risk of becoming underutilized, vacant
or demolished. This section encourages the adaptive and flexible reuse
of such buildings to allow more economic and efficient use of the
property. Special regulations are appropriate to this type of reuse
because of the difficulty present in adapting these structures to
allow economic and efficient use of the property.
A.
Special permit authority. The Planning Board may grant a special
permit subject to the additional provisions set forth below to allow
the use of an eligible building for uses which may not otherwise be
allowed and such adaptive reuse of an existing building may occur
within its existing footprint even if dimensionally nonconforming.
The Planning Board may modify minimum lot area, height, stories, minimum
lot frontage, maximum coverage, maximum habitable floor area, minimum
lot width, and front, side and rear yard setback requirements if the
Planning Board determines that the modification is necessary to preserve
the building and allow its adaptive reuse. The granting of a special
permit will require compliance with site plan review requirements.
The special permit authority granted to the Planning Board would be
in lieu of, rather than in addition to, the Zoning Board of Appeals'
special permit authority generally for private schools, places of
worship, and places of religious instruction in residential zones.
B.
Eligible buildings. Any building originally constructed for religious
or educational purposes including buildings previously occupied as
a primary or secondary school, place of worship, accessory building
to a place of worship (such as a rectory, convent, school gym or similar
use) on properties less than five acres in size.
C.
Parking. The Planning Board may modify off-street parking requirements
based on applicant's information regarding the parking impacts of
the proposed adaptive reuse. Parking may also be provided on lot(s)
in private ownership within 500 feet of the building entrance as part
of the Planning Board approval of the special permit.
D.
Restrictions on uses in particular districts.
(1)
For eligible buildings on a lot zoned partially residential
and partially commercial, the Planning Board may permit an adaptive
reuse for any use permitted in either of the applicable zoning districts.
(2)
For eligible buildings on a lot zoned entirely for single-family
or two-family residential use, only uses permitted in such zone shall
be allowed, except that for an eligible building located on or with
direct access to an arterial or collector road as defined by the NYSDOT,
the Planning Board may permit multifamily housing for senior citizens
62 years of age or older subject to the open space and maximum FAR
requirements in the RM-2 District.
E.
Additional conditions. The Planning Board may attach such additional
conditions to a special permit granted under this section as may be
necessary to protect the neighborhood surrounding the property and
to encourage the most appropriate adaptive reuse of the buildings
and property.
