SD-PRD Planned Residential Special District.

SD-PRD Table 345.405.A-10

District Standards: Planned Residential Special District

The following are regulations adopted November 5, 1979, by the Board of Trustees as Local Law No. 17-1979 to govern areas designated as Planned Residential District in the Village, which areas are designated as SD-PRD Planned Residential Special District in this chapter. This Table 345.405.A-10 includes standards and requirements to regulate such SD-PRD areas.

Formatting, paragraph numbering, and headings have been added or revised to facilitate ease of use.

Pursuant to § 345-303C of this chapter, no additional areas within the Village may be designated SD-PRD after the effective date of this chapter.

With the exception of § 345-303C of this chapter, if there is any conflict between provisions of this Table 345.405.A-10 and any other provision of this chapter, this section shall control.

A . Purpose of District.

(1) Purpose. It is the purpose of this planned residential development (PRD) section to provide performance criteria as the basis for flexible use and design regulations so that residential developments incorporating a variety of residential types and containing both individual building sites and common property may be planned and developed in a unified manner on those large tracts of vacant or predominantly vacant land that are appropriate for such use.

(2) Further Intent. It is further the intent:

(a) To encourage innovations in residential development so that the growing demands for housing of different types at all economic levels may be met by greater variety in type, design and siting of dwellings.

(b) To encourage the maximum reasonable conservation and the most efficient possible use of large tracts of land.

(3) Objectives Unachievable by Regulations. These objectives cannot be achieved through the use of rigid and uniform traditional bulk and use zoning and subdivision regulations.

B. Rezoning to PRD. Where PRD techniques are deemed appropriate, the rezoning of land to a Planned Residential Development District by the Board of Trustees replaces the use and dimensional specifications contained elsewhere in this chapter by an approval process in which an approved plan becomes the basis for continuing land use controls. Among the specific objectives which are to be achieved through the use of PRD techniques are the following:

(1) Choices of housing types: an increase in choices of housing types (one-family detached, semidetached, attached and multifamily dwellings) available to Village residents.

(2) Open space and recreation area: more usable open space and recreation areas.

(3) Preservation: preservation of trees and outstanding natural topographic and geological features and prevention of soil erosion.

(4) Utilities and streets: a smaller network of utilities and streets which would lower housing and public maintenance costs.

(5) Desirable environment: a more desirable environment than would be possible through the strict application of other provisions of this regulation.

C. Standards and General Requirements.

(1) Minimum Area. The minimum area to qualify for a PRD District shall be 10 contiguous acres of land. Where the applicant can demonstrate that the characteristics of his holdings will meet the objectives of this section, plans covering lesser acreage may be considered.

(2) Access. A PRD shall have access to an arterial street.

(3) Permitted Uses. The following shall be permitted uses:

(a) Single-Family Detached or Two-Family (Duplex) Dwelling Units of all types subject to the requirements of Subsection C(5).

(b) Recreation Facilities (Civic and Non-Civic), where such uses are limited and scaled to serve the residents of the PRD development.

(4) Permitted Accessory Uses. Accessory uses permitted in the PRD shall be:

(a) Home Professional Office (as a Special Exception Use).

(b) Home Office or Occupation.

(c) Parking Area or Garage.

(d) Signs, only at the main entrance road to the development.

(5) Residential Density.

(a) The gross density, measured over the entire tract but exclusive of any land to be occupied by public recreational facilities whose use is not limited to the residents of the PRD (and such land shall not be included in the gross measure of the tract), shall be based upon the following minimum lot area formula:

SD-PRD Residential Density
Dwelling Size	Lot Area (square feet)
Studio and 1 bedroom	5,000
2 bedrooms	6,500
3 bedrooms	9,000

(b) In no case shall one dwelling size (studio, one, two, or three bedrooms) exceed 70% of the total number of dwelling units.

(c) There shall be off-street parking facilities provided as follows:

SD-PRD Schedule of Off-Street Parking Space Requirements
Uses	Number of Spaces Required1
Planned Residential Development (PRD)	2 per Dwelling Unit

NOTE:
1	For Residential Land Uses.

(d) Required minimum Usable Open Space shall be provided as follows: for each Dwelling Unit, 3,500 square feet.

(e) Maximum height of buildings shall be 2 1/2 stories or 35 feet.

(6) Common Areas and Facilities.

(a) Common areas and facilities in a PRD are a parcel or parcels of land, together with all improvements thereon, the use and enjoyment of which are shared by the owners and occupants of the individual sites or dwelling units. Where common areas or facilities exist, the ownership of such property may be either public or private. Where such areas or facilities are not dedicated to the Village of Port Chester or other public agency, the owner shall provide for and establish an organization for the continued ownership and maintenance thereof. Such organization shall not be dissolved nor shall it dispose of any common areas or facilities by sale or otherwise.

(b) In the event that the organization established to own and maintain common areas or facilities, or any successor organization, shall, at any time after establishment of the planned residential development, fail to maintain the common areas or facilities in reasonable order and condition in accordance with the approved plan, the Village of Port Chester may serve written notice upon such organization or upon the residents and owners of the PRD setting forth the manner in which the organization has failed to maintain the common areas or facilities in reasonable condition, and said notice shall include a demand that such deficiencies of maintenance be cured within 30 days thereof and shall state the date and place of a hearing thereon which shall be held within 15 days of the notice. At such a hearing, the Village may extend the time within which the deficiencies shall be cured. If the deficiencies set forth in the original notice shall not be cured within said 30 days or extension thereof, the Village, in order to preserve the taxable values of the property within the PRD and to prevent the common property from becoming a public nuisance, may enter upon said common areas or facilities and maintain the same. Said entry and maintenance shall not vest in the public any rights to use the common areas or facilities except when the same is voluntarily dedicated to the public by residents or owners. The cost of such maintenance by the Village shall be assessed equally against the properties within the PRD that have a right of enjoyment of the common areas or facilities and shall become a tax lien on said properties. The Village, at the time of entering upon said common areas or facilities for the purpose of maintenance, shall file a notice of such lien in the office of the County Clerk upon the properties affected by such lien within the PRD.

D. Site and Structure Requirements.

(1) Preservation of Natural Features. It shall be the Village policy with regards to the SD-PRD District to preserve and incorporate into the landscaping of the development natural features such as streams, rock outcrops, trees, and shrubs.

SD-PMU Planned Mixed-Use Special District.

SD-PMU Table 345.405.A-11

District Standards: Planned Mixed-Use Special District

The following are regulations adopted by the Board of Trustees as amendments to former § 345-62 pursuant to Local Law No. I-4 of 2017 entitled "A Local Law Amending the Code of the Village of Port Chester, Chapter 345, "Zoning," with regard to the Planned Mixed Use District, in order to govern areas designated as Planned Mixed Use District. Such areas are designated as SD-PMU Planned Mixed Use Special District in this chapter. This Table 345.405.A-11 includes standards and requirements to regulate such SD-PMU areas.

Formatting, paragraph numbering, and headings have been added or revised to facilitate ease of use.

Pursuant to § 345-303C of this chapter, no additional areas within the Village may be designated SD-PMU after the effective date of this chapter.

With the exception of § 345-303C of this chapter, if there is any conflict between provisions of this Table 345.405.A-11 and any other provision of this chapter, this table shall control.

A. Purpose of District.

(1) Redevelopment of Certain Property. It is the purpose of the Planned Mixed Use Special District (SD-PMU) to provide an opportunity for appropriately scaled and context-sensitive redevelopment to replace the decommissioned hospital located at 406 Boston Post Road and/or the adjacent twelve-story residential building located at 999 High Street, which together comprise the largest remaining potential development site in the Village, at approximately 15 acres, and a prominent gateway to the Village.

(2) Providing Standards. This subsection provides the criteria and design standards so that high-quality, mixed-use development, including a variety of commercial, office, residential, and community facility uses, may be planned and developed in a unified and architecturally appropriate manner. The mixed-use development shall encourage active pedestrian uses through appropriately designed, furnished, lighted, and planted streetscapes and open spaces.

(3) Integrated Mixed-Use. This subsection creates an incentive zoning program tailored to the type of integrated mixed-use development envisioned for the SD-PMU District in the 2012 Village of Port Chester Comprehensive Plan ("Comprehensive Plan"). It provides a mechanism for the community to receive one or more defined community benefits that would not otherwise be provided in exchange for an applicant receiving additional development density.

(4) Identification of Site. The development standards contained in this section shall apply to the PMU site, known as "Section 141.052, Block 1, Lot 2," and "Section 141.052, Block 1, Lot 2.4" and "Section 141.052, Block 1, Lot 2.1" on the boundary survey titled "Topographic Survey," prepared by Barrett, Bonacci and Van Weele, PC and dated August 5, 2014 and revised through January 17, 2015, available in the Village Clerk's office.

B. Uses. The creation of a mixed-use development on the PMU site shall be comprised of one or a combination of the following:

(1) Permitted Principal Uses. See Table 345.405.K-1 (Building and Lot Principal Uses).

(2) Permitted Accessory Uses. See Table 345.405.K-2 (Building and Lot Accessory Uses).

(3) Special Exception Uses. See Table 345.405.K-1 (Building and Lot Principal Uses).

(4) Temporary Uses. See Table 345.405.K-3 (Building and Lot Temporary Uses).

C. Dimensional Standards and Requirements.

(1) Application. Dimensional standards shall apply to the SD-PMU site as a whole, as defined in Subsection A(4) above. All buildings and site coverage within the PMU site shall count toward calculations of floor area ratio (FAR), site coverage and all other dimensional requirements. For purposes of calculating FAR, site coverage, building coverage, and other dimensional requirements, the lot area for the PMU is considered to be the total area of the PMU site.

Dimensional Standards and Requirements
Maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR)	0.81
Minimum FAR for All Nonresidential Uses	25%
Maximum Site Coverage (buildings, access roads and parking, but excluding walkways)	90%
Maximum Height of Building	8 stories
Ceiling Height	First floor must be a minimum of 11 feet with a maximum of 25 feet from finished floor to finished ceiling. Floors above the first floor must be a minimum of 9 feet with a maximum of 11 feet for Residential uses; a minimum of 11 feet with a maximum of 14 feet for Nonresidential uses, such as Business/Commercial, Office, Retail/Personal Service, or Lodging Use.
Minimum Usable Open Space on Lot	100 square feet for each dwelling unit
1A floor area ratio (FAR) bonus of 0.8 is available in accordance with the Zoning Incentives and Community Benefits Program; see Subsection E.

D. Parking and Loading.

(1) Design and Location. Off-street parking and loading areas shall be designed and located based on a site-wide plan approved as part of a site plan approval.

(2) Landscaping. In order to soften the appearance of surface parking lots, surface parking lots shall be landscaped with groundcover, grasses, or low shrubs.

(3) Reduction of Required Spaces. The Board of Trustees, pursuant to its authority under Subsection H below, may reduce the number of off-street parking and loading spaces required by § 345-405N and P, based upon a finding that, owing to the combination of uses proposed, adherence to the off-street parking and loading standards would result in the construction of unnecessary off-street parking spaces. This finding must be based on a shared parking/loading analysis completed by the applicant and approved by the Board of Trustees at its discretion as determined during the site plan approval process. Shared parking and loading approvals shall be conditions of site plan approval and will be enforceable on all subsequent owners of property within the PMU site.

E. Zoning Incentives and Community Benefits Program.

(1) Finding. Owing to the existing conditions of the lots within the PMU District and the unique nature of the integrated mixed-use development envisioned for the PMU District by the Comprehensive Plan, and in accordance with § 7-703 of the Village Law of the State of New York, the Village finds it necessary to provide for a system of zoning incentives in exchange for specific community benefits.

(2) Additional FAR Allowance. Applicants for new development within the PMU District shall earn additional development potential of an additional FAR of 0.8 by a monetary contribution in the amount of $3,000,000 to the following Village community benefit fund:

(a) The Community Planning and Rehabilitation Fund, to include, but not be limited to, funding of neighborhood revitalization, affordable housing, community planning, and housing rehabilitation.

(3) Maximum FAR. In no cases shall the maximum FAR for a site, including additional floor area granted pursuant to this section, be more than 1.60.

(4) Separate Account with Dedicated Funds. In accordance with § 7-703h of the Village Law of the State of New York, the fund listed in Subsection E(2) above shall be kept by the Village as dedicated funds in a separate account to be used only for the respective purposes set forth above.

F. Design Criteria.

V. Green Building and Infrastructure. The Village of Port Chester is committed to reducing its carbon footprint, generation of greenhouse gas emissions, and dependence on fossil fuels. The intent of this subsection is to introduce new green building and infrastructure regulations for all new development within the Village of Port Chester.

(1) Checklists Required. Any application for new development shall provide a completed Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) checklist, Enterprise Green Communities checklist, Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) Envision checklist, or equivalent green project checklist acceptable to the Planning and Economic Development Zoning Administrator.

(2) Alternative Energy Sources. As part of a development application, an applicant must show evidence of a consideration to incorporate reasonably available energy conservation or renewable energy opportunities, such as new green infrastructure or retrofits, installation of solar arrays or canopies, and geothermal systems.

(3) Green Infrastructure. Development may incorporate elements and practices described in the Village of Port Chester Green Infrastructure Guide, originally dated June 2018.

W. Wireless Telecommunications Facilities.

(1) Legislative Intent.

(a) The purpose of this section is to provide the Village of Port Chester the authority to accommodate and regulate necessary utility infrastructure for the provision of wireless telecommunications facilities within the Village, to encourage the siting of wireless telecommunications facilities in nonresidential areas on existing structures, to address the safety, visual and aesthetic aspects of wireless telecommunications facilities and to provide for public input in the process of siting wireless telecommunications antenna towers.

(b) The Board of Trustees finds that the regulation of wireless telecommunications facilities is necessary to protect the predominantly suburban residential character of the Village and the property values of the community; such regulation is needed to protect schools, parks, churches, playgrounds and historic structures; to preserve scenic areas; to minimize aesthetic impacts; to preserve the health and safety of residents; and to respect the need of wireless telecommunications service providers to relay signals without electronic interference from other service providers' operations, while not unreasonably limiting competition among them.

(c) The Board of Trustees declares that the protection of residential areas of the Village is of paramount importance and that any local regulations of wireless telecommunications facilities must furnish all possible protection for residential areas, and further declares that the provisions of this section are to be interpreted to favor protection of residential areas. The Planning Commission shall, before issuing any Special Exception Use approval for a wireless telecommunications facility in residential areas, satisfy itself that all other alternatives have been exhausted.

(d) In general, consolidations, shared use and collocation of antennas and antenna-mounting structures are preferred to the construction of new facilities.

(2) Special Exception Use; Policies and Goals. In order to assure that the placement, construction and modification of wireless telecommunications facilities conforms to the Village of Port Chester's purpose and intent of this section, the Board of Trustees requires that a Special Exception Use approval be necessary for such facilities. As such, the Board of Trustees adopts a policy with respect to a Special Exception Use approval for a wireless telecommunications facility for the purpose of achieving the following goals:

(a) Implementing an application for person(s) seeking a Special Exception Use approval for a wireless telecommunications facility.

(b) Establishing a policy for examining an application for Special Exception Use approval for a wireless telecommunications facility that is both fair and consistent.

(c) Establishing reasonable time frames for granting or not granting a Special Exception Use approval for a wireless telecommunications facility.

(d) Promoting and encouraging, wherever possible, the sharing and/or collocation of a wireless telecommunications facility among service providers.

(e) Promoting and encouraging, wherever possible, the placement of a wireless telecommunications facility in such a manner as to cause minimal disruption to the land, property, buildings and other facilities adjacent to, surrounding and in generally the same area as the requested location of such facility and to minimize any adverse aesthetic impacts to the community.

(3) Eligible Facilities Requests; Administrative Approval.

(a) Application. The Building Department shall prepare and make publicly available an application form, which shall be limited to the information necessary for the Village to consider whether an application is an eligible facilities request. Each application shall be submitted to the Department of Planning and Economic Development and include the following:

[1] An application form provided by the Building Department.

[2] A radio frequency safety report demonstrating compliance with FCC safety standards.

[3] Certification that the installation will comply with visual standards set forth in Subsection W(15) below.

[4] The payment of a fee for an eligible facilities request, as stated in Chapter 175 (Fees).

(b) Type of review. Upon receipt of an application for an eligible facilities request, the Department of Planning and Economic Development shall forward the application to the Building Department. The Building Inspector or designee shall review such application to determine whether the application so qualifies as an eligible facility request as defined in this chapter. If determined to be an eligible facility request, such application shall undergo an administrative review, the process of which is contained in Subsection W(3)(c) through (f). If it is determined that there will be a substantial change to an existing facility, this section shall not apply.

(c) Time frame for review. Within 60 days after an eligible facilities request has been received, the Building Inspector or his designee shall approve the application unless it has been determined that the application creates a substantial change or otherwise does not meet the criteria of an eligible facilities request. Once an eligible facilities request application has been approved, the Building Inspector shall issue a building permit.

(d) Tolling of time frame for review.

[1] The sixty-day review period begins to run when the application is filed, and may be tolled by mutual agreement by the Building Inspector and the applicant.

[2] The time frame for review may also be tolled when the Building Inspector or his designee determines that the application is incomplete. When an application has been determined to be incomplete, the following process shall be used to toll the time frame for review:

[a] The Building Inspector or designee shall provide written notice to the applicant within 30 days of receipt of the application, specifically delineating all missing documents or information required in the application or such other reasons why the application has been determined to be incomplete.

[b] Within 10 days of a supplemental submission, the Building Inspector or designee will notify the applicant if his or her application has been deemed complete. If application is still found to be incomplete after a supplemental submission, the applicant must provide additional supplemental submissions until the application has been deemed complete.

[c] The time frame for review will not begin to run again until the application has been deemed complete.

(e) Failure to act. In the event the Building Inspector or designee fails to approve or deny a request seeking approval under this section within the time frame for review, accounting for any tolling, the application shall be approved. However, such approval does not become effective until the applicant notifies the Building Inspector in writing after the review period has expired, accounting for any tolling, that the application has been approved.

(f) Interaction with Section 332(c)(7). If it is determined that the applicant's request is not covered by Section 6409(a)3 as delineated under this section, the presumptively reasonable time frame under Section 332(c) (7),4 as prescribed by the FCC's Shot Clock order, will begin to run from the issuance of the decision that the application is not a covered request. To the extent such information is necessary, the Village may request additional information from the applicant to evaluate the application under Section 332(c)(7), pursuant to the limitations applicable to other Section 332(c)(7) reviews.

(4) Procedure for Special Exception Use Approval Application; Fee.

(a) All applicants for a Special Exception Use for a wireless telecommunications facility or any modification of such facility and renewal thereof shall comply with the requirements set forth in this section.

(b) The applicant shall be required to provide sufficient funds to an escrow account to allow the Planning Commission to retain such technical experts as may be necessary to review the proposal, provided that no funds shall be deposited until a scope of work is agreed upon among the applicant, the expert and the Planning Commission. In any event, the initial deposit shall be a minimum of $5,000. A larger deposit may be required if, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, the complexity and scope of the proposal requires additional expert review. The applicant shall maintain the escrow account at the amount of the initial deposit and replenish same in a timely manner. Payment in full thereto shall be a condition precedent to any approval by the Planning Commission. Any unused funds will be returned to the applicant upon completion of the review. The withdrawal of an application shall not relieve the applicant of the payment obligations of this section.

(c) The Planning Commission is hereby authorized to approve Special Exception Uses under the provisions of this chapter, subject to all of the special requirements and conditions herein and any requirements which may be made a part hereof. Every Special Exception Use approval shall also conform to all special findings that are specified herein.

(d) Application to the Planning Commission for approval of a Special Exception Use under this chapter shall be provided to the Department of Planning and Economic Development and accompanied by a fee in accordance with Chapter 175 (Fees).

(e) Prior to or concurrent with the filing of a formal application to the Planning Commission to obtain a Special Exception Use approval under this chapter, the applicant shall submit information needed to meet the requirements of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). The Planning Commission may hold a joint public hearing under the provisions of SEQRA and this chapter whenever practicable. In the event that a final SEQRA determination has not been made, no approval for a Special Exception Use under this chapter shall be granted. The time periods in which the Planning Commission may take action may be extended with the consent of the applicant.

(f) Each application under this chapter must be prepared, signed, and submitted by or on behalf of the Owner-of-Record according to the Town of Rye parcel data records of the subject parcel(s). If such Plan is prepared, signed, and submitted on behalf of such Owner, a notarized Letter of Authorization shall accompany the application.

(g) In addition to the Special Exception Use noticing requirements of Chapter 345, Article 8, § 345-808, Public notice requirements, the applicant shall cause notice of the public hearing by notifying all property owners by certified mail, return receipt requested, within 500 feet of the boundary line of the subject property. A renewal of a Special Exception Use for a Wireless Telecommunications Facility per § 345-405W(22) shall not require a public hearing and/or Public Notice.
